Morons. Just goes to show how little they understand conservative thought and how arrogant they are in their assumptions that everyone would be a Leftist, if only they were just
educated enough.

This was an actual thread title from Free Republic
"A Brief History of Mitt Romney’s Record of Putting Profits Ahead of People as CEO of Bain Capital"
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2839325/posts#comment
Some of the comments:
"He’s part of why our capitalistic system has been undermined."
"Why should deadbeats suck millions out of a company and leave the lenders holding the bag. Is that real capitalism?"
"It’s called Crony Capitalism and that is what Mitt was practicing."
"Bain over-leveraged the firms because they knew they could walk away with the profits taken out of the borrowed money. That put those companies in a weaker position against their competitors and made it more likely for them to go bankrupt."

They're out to lunch over there. The same post can seem like it came from DU, then immediately blame socialism. I feel like with some of these people, there exists the possibility for an eye-opening conversion to this side of the aisle.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1002234195You idiot. Real conservatives have always been opposed to crony capitalism. It subverts the concept of the Free Market by giving unfair, government-backed advantage to some competitors over others. But there's a miles-wide gulf between being against corruption and influence-peddling and being
for Socialism. In fact it is just the opposite - we want to improve the marketplace by making it freer. One way to do it is decrease government influence through easing of regulations.

10. That's just because he's a Mormon
If a fundie were screwing over everybody with the kind of capitalism that Mitt uses, they'd be singing his praises.
Please, no one here should ever doubt the power of the hate that fundies have for the LDS faith. It supercedes racism, sexism, and any form of nationalism or other religious bigotry.
Where do they get this shit? I'm neither a big fan of Romney nor Mormonism, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't affect his governing ability. I'm not hearing it as an important issue with any of the "fundies' I know, either.

4. "...there exists the possibility for an eye-opening conversion to this side of the aisle."...
nope, not a chance. These nutcases will be schmoozing Mitt if he ends up being the candidate just like they did McCain after they had totally trashed him before he won that primary.
If Mitt is the winner, all threads trashing him will be deleted and full proclamations that such things as said in the thread you reference were NEVER said and all evidence of such threads will go 'poof'.
Well you got that right, there's not a snowball's chance in Hell of us converting to Socialism, but seeing as how we are not worshippers of personages like you DUmmies are, I think you'll see us holding the feet of whoever the candidate is a little closer to the fire than you do.

14. OWS exposed the truth
These idiots are too stupid to believe they are part of the 99%. But they are coming around, through a tortured trail. No, I don't expect them to learn anything or drop the thousands of other illusions they live under.
OWS exposed nothing but their own asses for the world to see. There's corruption in government? No shit, Sherlock. What do you think the Tea Party is about? You imbeciles are a day late and a dollar short, as usual. The difference is the Tea Party makes no bones about its conservative underpinnings. OWS tries to disguise themselves by claiming to be non-partisan and publicly emphasizing their 10% anti-corruption message while playing down their 90% list of Leftist "demands". OWS is the same old warmed-over liberal/socialist shit re-packaged with a new face for the cameras. People weren't quite as gullible as you thought, though, and your "movement', such as it was, has fizzled. Well, that and the fact that you did everything in your power to make OWS look as chockfull of moonbattery as possible. You can't help it, you're buffoons. Nuttier than squirrel shit. Completely self-deluded and out of touch with reality. You can't hide something like that for long.
