OK, when and if Romney runs again, he will have no problem financing his campaign. I don't think anybody argues that he would.

But why do so many on Mudcat like to overstate their points?   Are Mudcat political posters vying for the title of "Yellow Journalism Award of the 21st Century?"


We have some who like to make simplistic statements that because the health care reform bill is having a hard time, the Democratic majority is meaningless.   No, it just means that on that one issue the "big tent" makes for a lot of problems. In fact a lot of liberal wishes may not come true anytime soon.   But "Democratic" does not equal "liberal".

Then we have some who like to say point-blank that the US has no interest in a stable and prosperous Haiti--ignoring the fact that a stable and prosperous Haiti would mean a lessening of the problem of illegal Haitian immigration.

And now, Bain Capital.

"Bain Capital...owns or controls...Hospital Corp. of America....Home Depot...."

If so, we need a source for this.   If the source is Wikipedia, the Wiki article on Bain does not say "owns or controls" all the cited firms. The Wiki article says "has founded, acquired or invested in..."   the above firms.


"Invested in" does not equal "owns or controls".   I suspect that even some Mudcatters have shares in some stocks.

Let's try to be a bit more careful in our postings.


Also, Romney had lots of money in 2008 and he spent quite a lot.   What did it get him?

An article I saw recently pinpoints his main problem for 2012:   when competence opposes charisma, who usually wins?   Not competence.

Sarah has charisma for lots of people--(though possibly not Mudcatters--d'ya think?)   Does Romney have charisma?

This also illustrates President Obama's problem.   Like all sitting presidents, he will have to run as the candidate of competence.   And again, Sarah perfectly fits the bill on charisma.

Also, as I've pointed out before, on the Republican side, who owns the 2 issues likely to be the top concerns of Republican voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and other early primaries and caucuses?   These issues are abortion and gun rights.

All Romney's money can't buy him what Sarah already has.
