Republicans Use Democratic Values To Rip Romney Ruthlessness
Take a guess who said this yesterday:
“Voters are just now meeting the Real Romney — the buyout tycoon who executed takeovers, bankrupted businesses, and sent jobs overseas while killing American jobs.”
MoveOn.org? No, it was Rick Perry.
Let’s try another one:
“Is capitalism really about the ability of a handful of rich people to manipulate the lives of thousands of other people and walk off with the money? I do draw a distinction between looting a company, leaving behind broken families and broken neighborhoods, and then leaving a factory that should be there.”
Bernie Sanders? No, it was Newt Gingrich.
“Romney has tried to argue that critics of his private-sector layoffs are borderline communists, trying to ‘put free enterprise on trial.’ And yet, when there is no difference whatsoever between the message Dems are pushing and the attacks from Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, and Jon Huntsman, it suggests the Romney line is a bust.
But more importantly, it also suggests the progressive line is what resonates with voters — even Republican voters.” - Steve Benen
