Election 2012

Soulless CEO Mitt

Paul Waldman via Drum:

In the entire history of the United States of America, from George Washington's election in 1789 on down, has there been a single candidate as unmoored from ideological principle or belief as Mitt Romney?

Romney is a corporate raider and a CEO. His only true ideology is to profit by any means. Romney, therefore, seizes upon whatever toehold he can grab to advance higher. It's his nature. He'd stampede anything and anyone if it meant political advancement. He has no soul and no core values. This is what makes him inherently dangerous, especially on foreign policy where he'd allow himself to be puppeteered if it meant winning.
