In an exclusive interview outside a Manchester polling place, Ron Paul lashed out at fellow Republicans for making unfair and ignorant attacks on Mitt Romney’s business record. “I think they’re wrong. I think they’re totally misunderstanding the way the market works,” Paul told me. “They are either just demagoguing or they don’t have the vaguest idea how the market works.” Paul also came to Romney’s defense for saying “I like to be able to fire people.” “I think they’re unfairly attacking him on that issue because he never really literally said that,” Paul said. “They’ve taken him way out of context. … He wants to fire companies.” In Paul’s view, Romney is right to say that he created jobs by restructuring companies. “I think they’re way overboard on saying that he wants to fire people, he doesn’t care, Paul said. “You save companies, you save jobs when you reorganize companies that are going to go bankrupt. And they don’t understand that.”

I have been very disturbed by this socialist nonsense about Bain from Gingrich. Gingrich is NOT a Conservative. Gingrich (and Santorum) are (so-called "right- wing") progressives who think that government should control it all. Of course, they believe that they themselves should be in charge of the government so that they can direct the rest of us on what to do. As usual Ron Paul is right on this. More importantly, Ron Paul is demonstrating once again that he cares more about the truth, not politics. God bless Ron Paul.
Agree. I actually sat down and watched a RP town-hall that was broadcast on C-Span over the weekend, and am glad I did.
Great, anyone who is open to learning something new (right, left, other, or none) is my friend. I learn new things all of the time. Thanks for the note!
