romney. he detests mitt romney. because romney used saturation bombing, huge amounts of money from his equity buddies to destroy that guy and well you can say all is fair in politics. but it wasn t an argument that won the battle. huge of amounts of money in states like iowa and michigan and across ohio. in every one of those states, he smothered the guy in negative advertisement. is this what we will see in the general, romney running around bragging about wealth and spending friends money to destroy obama? he will certainly try to spend he will try to spend his friends money to be competitive with the president. i think both sides will be up to their neck in a lot of money. they will both raise money from a lot of rich people and that is fine. but i think that rick santorum in this case one said it was painful to watch. i think he was clearly in pain having to answer the question. it looked like piers morgan was kicking him in the shins under the table. he looked like he was
your friends showed up with this awesome bone. hey! you guys are great. and if you got your home insurance where you got your cut rate car insurance, it might not replace all this. [ electricity crackling ] [ gasping ] so get allstate. you could save money and be better protected from mayhem like me. [ dennis ] dollar for dollar, nobody protects you from mayhem like allstate. welcome back to hardball. the secret service scandal na rocked the agency this month might not have been the result of a one-time occurrence, perhaps. that s according to washington post this morning which reported a 2009 instance of agents in script claups in argentina. there were tough questions by the senate judiciary committee today an a story not likely to i go way soon. senator richard bloon bloom enthat will from connecticut sets oin that kmity.
contrast. people who are fortunate product of the american dream, who as erin says, are taken aback about their success and are pretty darn gracious about it most of the time. he is working student now, people in their 20s. and people are still in school. which of them will vote for romney? it seems to me the only ones that would naturally be driven to someone like him would be the b school people. some of the kids in business school who can t wait to go out and make money and equity and wall street as fast as they can, no matter how they make it. and say, i want to be like him. that would be a small group of kids, i would think. i have talked to some mba holders, when you try to figure out, who loves mitt romney and wants him to be president. it is those people who realize dea lot with venture capitalist and would be good on their tax coverage. they wouldn t be taxed much. but they appreciate what he has done where they understand
successful. but his definition is money. and money talks. can you see it in his campaign. super pac money. he is basically bought the primaries and caucus with huge amounts of money. and now he is saying, we should worship at the alter of this big money. not only a nomination of his party, we should congratulations that money. it s pretty it is going beyond gordon gecko, this guy. this is something about the word congratulate. a the who of times when congratulations are in order. like a blessing, a wedding, a child born, a new job at work, congratulate them on that. but you congratulate someone for a heroic act. you mentioned cops and teachers, chris. those people do things they should be congratulated forever day. i think there is nothing wrong with making money in america. we don t penalize that. we shouldn t say there is nothing wrong with being entrepreneurial success. the economy depends on that.
it. where as so few people do. we will come back it that. if he focuses on his success, as. he calls it, being rich, and focusing op on the need to be congratulated for it, where would he put himself in the corner and have to explain how he made the money? all the chop shop, breaking up of corporations. buying little companies and breaking them up. selling them off. making money and firing people, which he says he likes to do. he hasn t yet defined what success was at bane. he hasn t said what are the lessons he learn. money. well, evidently so. that s what he says. but he won t say, what lessons did i learn from turning around companies, that i would then apply to government. imagine you are a teacher. you bust your hump everyday to be a good taef teacher.
