Romney is , above all else, just an opportunist

When he was running in '08, he dropped out, because in the pre-SuperPac era, he did not want to have to spend HIS money to continue the slog against McCain & Chuckleberry, so he dropped out.
I remember seeing an article back then about how "his boys" were not sure they wanted him "risking" the family fortune.

Just as when he started his "Bain" entity, it was with OTHER PEOPLE'S money that he took over the businesses, and then coerced them to use THEIR credit to borrow huge sums to pay Romney et al for their "services". Once the "service fees" were paid, those companies were usually left to dangle in the wind until they failed.

Now that the Super Pac era is in full swing, of course he is in it for the long haul. ...and it's only natural that the big-money would gravitate to HIM and not to the other clowns he was in the running with.

His moneyed cronies want to get their hands on Social Security money.. It's all that's really left in the :windfall category"..

They've skinned the other cats already..

Read this DU thread that has a link of an interview of a Mormon woman who knew Romney. Rmoney did not like this woman because she saw through him.


Read and see if you agree with me.

That leopard hasn't changed his spots at all. Now, he's going for bigger prey--the American people and their rights.
