The Empire Strikes Back

I don't know whom the speech tonight was for, I am thinking the target audience were corporations that are citizens.



By Catherine Dodge and Julie Hirschfeld Davis on April 24, 2012

...Mitt Romney won primaries (click here) in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware today, the Associated Press said, as he prepared to declare his party’s race over.
Polls also closed in Pennsylvania, where the former Massachusetts governor is expected to win. Polls in New York close at 9 p.m., where Romney also is favored....
His speech was about seeing into the future. Right. How is he going to get to the future if he hasn't got policies to get there? He needs to put his crystal ball away and provide policy and reality before the country if he wants to be taken seriously.


Every Republican always has this idea that if we only return to 'things as they were' everything will be better. They believe they have undying dedication from corporations to 'make American work' through loyalty to 'the free market system.' It doesn't work. The work is very big and while in the 1950s the USA was the best game in town that isn't the case today. American labor is the best in the world, but, it ain't the cheapest and that is the problem. The free market system doesn't do anything to hire people that will consume their products. Corporations have no loyalty to any country, except, their 'populous of stockholders.' They plant their flags in a board room and convention rooms.


Romney, just like every other Republican, has no ideas. He has a memory of 'The Way It Was.'
