Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital | Politics News | Rolling Stone
The great criticism of Mitt Romney, from both sides of the aisle, has
always been that he doesn't stand for anything. He's a flip-flopper,
they say, a lightweight, a cardboard opportunist who'll say anything to
get elected.
The critics couldn't be more wrong. Mitt Romney is no tissue-paper
man. He's closer to being a revolutionary, a backward-world version of
Che or Trotsky, with tweezed nostrils instead of a beard, a half-Windsor
instead of a leather jerkin. His legendary flip-flops aren't the lies
of a bumbling opportunist – they're the confident prevarications of a
man untroubled by misleading the nonbeliever in pursuit of a single,
all-consuming goal. Romney has a vision, and he's trying for something
big: We've just been too slow to sort out what it is, just as we've been
slow to grasp the roots of the radical economic changes that have swept
the country in the last generation.
