Why is Romney Running?

away from his years at Bain Capital

I mean, he exemplifies the monied finance elite who became massively wealthy after Reagan deregulated Wall Street in the '80's, and which made leverage-buyout and private equity companies possible.

He is the vision of Reagan conservatism come-to-life, so why would he be running away from that. So a few little people got laid-off and some companies they bought went bankrupt.

Who cares? Isn't the important thing that a few people at the top, like Mitt Romney made millions of dollars?

After all, their wealth is going to "trickle-down" to the little-guy. What's so wrong with that.

He should embrace his time at Bain, and come-out of his Wall Street closet.

In the end, greed is good, amiright?

    Power and influence.

    It's certainly not wealth. Being a Mormon might explain part of the reason.

    His father ran and lost. His mother ran for the senate and lost. Not too many elected Mormons outside of Utah. Think power and influence.

    How log for the trickle down to work, and when it does, not much will be on the bottom.

    Because he knows the truth of what happened. Why doesn't Mitt speak about his governorship? Because he knows the truth.

    Who the **** cares... Choose between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.. President = figure head, just gives the illusion of choice.
