Take Bank of America: it is sitting on 75 trillion dollars of derivatives bets, all backed up with investor and depositor money, with a federal guarantee against failure. Imagine if things go pear-shaped for them. America will be doomed.<br /><br />America doesn't need to deregulate, it needs to RE-regulate.<br /><br />Bring back Glass-Steagal immediately!mojo.rhythmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901306439675127615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-17588449527834810122011-10-21T02:01:05.069-06:002011-10-21T02:01:05.069-06:00he has already shown himself to lie for convenient...he has already shown himself to lie for convenient political gain <br /><br />according to kornacki when Romney ran for office in Mass. he was unabashadly pro-choice and friendly to gay-rights. when he was thinking of running in Utah he set a more pro-life tone. and then when he returned to Mass. he was pro-choice until he wanted to make a presidential bid at which time he switched back to life. as his audience changes so does his message.<br /><br />when he wants to be elected he gives whatever message suits his targeted audience. now his target audience is the republican base. in less than a year it will be the electorate as a whole and at that time i expect his message to change.<br /><br />my source being: http://salon.com/a/sjgUfAA<br /><br />quite frankly he seems more of a populist than an idealogue (like ron pual or bachman)<br /><br />if he didnt run right now, using these falsehoods, he would be as ingored as huntsman or johnson. <br /><br />is it good, maybe not. is it the only practical way to succeed? <br />probably. <br /> <br />not keeping campaign promises is something that is almost expected. if he didnt sign that executive order on day one i doubt anyone would notice.<br /><br />i am sure he wouldn't call banning murder a regulation but its hard to find the difference between rigging a car to explode when it crashes and selling it to someone(murder or if no intent to kill manslaughter) and manufacturing a car that explodes on impact and selling it(car safety regulations)<br /><br />frankly all criminal laws are regulating behavior in roughly the same way as the epa does for companies. if a person pumps cyanide into the drinking supply to earn 20$ and it kills people it is considered manslaughter... if a company does it to earn 2 million then it is disobeying "onerous, job killing" regulations and shouldn't have to change unless compensated!... according to mainstream republicans at least. frankly i dont understand the doublestandard. <br />and i doubt it is something that romney will support after the primary.Kristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544209777124068097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-5179589630672863012011-10-20T19:44:22.441-06:002011-10-20T19:44:22.441-06:00I am certain that Romney does not consider a prohi...I am certain that Romney does not consider a prohibition against murder to be a regulation.<br /><br />Though, in fact, the arguments against murder (or, more analogously, manslaughter) are the same as the arguments for some types of regulations.<br /><br />I do not think Romney needed to make this particular claim to appeal to the base. In fact, since he is talking about an executive order that he says he would sign on the first day, if he does not do this on the first day, he will immediately show himself to have been a liar.Alonzo Fyfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05687777216426347054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-91997979102429917002011-10-20T17:45:59.267-06:002011-10-20T17:45:59.267-06:00i can't believe romney would really mean that....i can't believe romney would really mean that. it just doesn't make any sense. a regulation against murder makes the assasination industry much more costly and reduces jobs... such blanket statements must be fluff to win the republican base which includes alot of people who cheer for this kind of nonsense. <br /><br />instead of condemning romney for jumping through the hoops that are required of a republican running for office in the his country (unless you don't mind losing, like huntsman, by being honest) we should condemn the republican base for requiring such stupid hoops to be placed on the field.<br /><br />but quite frankly becuase romney is so busy jumping through party hoops i have no idea what he would do as president... if he acted like he did when he was govenor it prolly wouldnt be so bad... problem is he keeps promising not to do that! other problem is that if he didn't he would be forgotten like huntsman.Kristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08544209777124068097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-58574622839544812972011-10-20T13:30:47.458-06:002011-10-20T13:30:47.458-06:00My biggest curse at the moment is the autocorrect ...My biggest curse at the moment is the autocorrect on my iPad.
