Apparently, Mitt plans to "shove Capitalism down President Obama's throat." [View all]

Stood by the "I created 120,000 jobs" claim. Said "there's nothing wrong with profit." Told about the wonderful things shareholders did with the profit, like set up pension funds. The crowd is 100% Republican "base," just hooting and yelling approval at every little thing.
