Interesting how when the numbers favored Barack Obama in 2008 and for several years, liberals and the media perpetuated the myth that McCain was the Wall Street crony who was raking in all the cash, and curring his favors in exchange. Which is now proven completely false.
Deflection. This must've stung deep.
No one on the Left, yourself...
You really think I'm a leftist?
You also don't acknowledge the unprecedented level of corporate welfare and crony capitalism under Obama. And this is not historical discussion, this is ongoing Obama use of taxpayer dollars to favor coprorations, narrow competition and raise proces for the middle class and poor, that will continue as long as Obama remains in office. He's still trying to ram through another Stimulus bill (renamed with a deceitful focus-group-selected misnomer as a "Jobs Bill")
Or, succinctly,
Seriously, show me one post where I absolve Obama of being a corporatist wanker. I'll wait.
You imply by saying this that if Romney takes the money (which he has to, to get elected, because even with these donations, Obama's war-chest is expected to be a billion dollars or more)
Expectation meets too big to fail reality, news at eleven.
that if Romney takes money from Goldman Sachs or other firms, assume that he necessarily will act as corruptly and subserviently to corporate donors as Obama has.
But...
He wants to repeal most, if not all, aspects of what was a completely watered down financial reform bill.
Romney, unlike Obama, was heavily involved in the financial industry and understands it.
And, he supported the bailout of it. Like Dubya then, he supports abandoning the free market to "save it."
Romney, unlike Obama, enters the campaign with a personal fortune of 300 million, and arguably cannot be bought, because he already is wealthy.
Because greed, like the thirst for power, has limits...
Romney, unlike Obama, is not in favor of a strong socialist central government. Unlike Obama, does not favor crony capitalism that would use corporations to advance an ideological socialist experiment. (as I sourced from Tim Carney's book OBAMANOMICS, that reliance on state-run capitalism results in greater market-share for the largest corporations, creating higher costs that drive out smaller competitors, and results in less competition and higher production cost, resulting in higher prices for everyone, most impacting middle class and poor consumers.)
I repeat, he supported and still supports the abandonment of free market principles to "save" the free market (see, bailouts).
http://articles.latimes.com/2011/oct/11/news/la-pn-romney-bailouts-20111011Why do you assume that a free-market guy like Romney would enact the same kind of corporate free-for all that Obama did? When Romney is a free-market guy, and Obama is a central-planning guy?
Fuck Obama. Obama, too, is Wall Street's bitch. And, see above, Romney supports the Bush bailouts that were admittedly not of free market principles.
Obama's 2008 level of Wallstreet and other corporate donors --where even the New York Times reported that Obama was out-spending McCain an average of 4-to-1 nationwide, and even 8-to-1 or higher in some highly contested areas-- went virtually unreported.
Yet you are quick to make snap assumptions about Romney, whose donations are less incriminating than Obama's donations and stated intent were in 2008-2010.
Apparently, you don't know where to get any decent information. It's called alternative media, Dave. Gives you the full rundown on how bought and sold both of these stupid fuckers are.
Seriously, though, go ahead and vote for Romney. I don't care. I'm done trying to save people like you who continue to live in some phony ass world where the political parties still mean something. They don't. Romney, just like most other Republicans, is just as committed to bringing about the New World Order as Obama and Soros are. You are just locked into the paradigm they built for you.
Go ahead. Vote for Romney and find out that those FEMA camps that make Glen Beck cry really know no political preference.
