An op/ed piece by a mister Mitt Romney.

Of all the people! Anyway, I thought this article raised some interesting points. Unions were an absolute necessity in the past, but many of the protections they fought for and got are now enshrined in law, and, in many cases, unions aren't necessary anymore. The fact that $2,000 of an American car's cost goes to covering this bloat is a pretty staggering number.

Pretty much everything he wrote makes a lot of sense

I can't find fault with a damn thing he said, and I own an American car.

I wish it was a Japanese or European car.

I agree with pretty much everything he said.

I have to say, that article made a lot of darn good sense. Congress, or should I say, Reid and Pelosi, have already today the automakers they need to provide a recovery plan before they consider any kind of bailout.

FYI, the automaker executives flew to Washington in several separate multi-million dollar private jets to ask for the bailout.

Rep. Gary Ackerman addressed this to them

"Couldn't you all have downgraded to first class or jet-pooled or something to get here?" he said. "It would have at least sent a message that you do get it."

I dont even know this congressman but I think I like him.

Fuck I wish this guy had been nominated, but no, we had to be all "lol magic underpants"

Guys, a lot of the stuff conservatives say makes a lot of sense if you'd only listen. It's not all prop 8 and Sarah Palin's dinosaurs. You realize that Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck have all been saying more or less the same stuff Romney said here ever since Baer Stearns was bailed out, right?

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity have been calling this "Obama's recession" for at least a week. They are hacks and you are dumb.

Glenn Beck is a retard too btw.

Please don't transition Mitt "Double Guantanamo Bay" Romney having a few good points into a reason to listen to their idiocy.

You set out this morning to find a message board. A message board willing enough to believe that these political theorists are not insane. What a puny plan. Look around you. This is the valley of death.

Quiet. QUIET! No more games.

There has been too much violence... too much pain. None here is without sin. But, I have an honourable compromise. Stop this one-sided war and admit that the Republican party is no better at managing national spending and I'll spare your life. Just walk away. I will give you safe passage in the wasteland... Just walk away, and there will be an end to the horror.

You have one full day to decide.
