Rowdy republicans

Mitt Romney was born rich, and at some point earned the privilegs of accessing large sums of capital for investment purposes. And thus, in his capacity as decision maker in a large financial firm, he often purchased businesses, and did with them as he saw fit.

From a liberal perspective this might be horrible sin, but from a conservative point of view, its free market capitalism, hence, "good".

That's why its ironic that Romney's venture capitalism is being maligned by none other than Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry, who are supposedly "conservatives-in-arms" with Romney. What then, are Newt and Rick born again democrats? Precisely what, Newt and Rick, is wrong with investing one's money as one pleases? Regulated limits to capitalism? Never!

Buy a company, sell a company. Liquidate a couple here and there. Jobs come and go, with the changing, corporate controlled economy. "Vulture" they call Romney, as if they are suddenly socialists with a social conscience. According to Ronald Reagan, no republican  should ever speak ill of another. Today's republicans discarded that precept.
