McClatchy reporter: 'Alarming power grab' of GOP by 'misguided group of extremists'

55. What Mittens did with Bain really didn't take a genus or much tenacity.

Most children born into wealth are not all that smart. They get through college because of their money not because of their brains. Harvard and Yale are notorious for giving great scholarships to a few outstanding geniuses to get their average college SAT and IQ scores up. Then they can accept the pampered babies of the idle rich with their accompanying dismal scores.

Mittens just used his name and father's influence to get a decent position at Bain then went off and raided (or harvested) successful businesses who had CEO and executive staff that could be bought off. The tax laws had just recently been changed so Mitt could take advantage of the spread between buying and selling the businesses. It didn't take a whole lot of anything but greed, cruelty and lack of a conscious.

But the reason Mitt and W were chosen by the RepubliCONS was because they are both dumb and easily manipulated by their rich friends. Mitt especially, has very strong loyalties to his class - the idle rich. These old, rich men don't want presidents and congressmen who think for themselves or are too smart.

The corporate elite want ruthless loyal buffoons who think wealth determines the value of a life.
