Affiliate Marketing Secrets

This is the least conservative running for the GOP nomination, but yet conservatives are still flocking by the bunches supporting this man and this man has never been affiliated with the tea party in any kind of way, not to mention he has been on the left of many issues such as Gun control, Global Warming, Gay marriage, Obamacare=Romneycare and so fourth….
Are liberals correct in saying that conservatives are literally some of the dumbest people here in USA?

Romney and Paul are the only two GOP contenders that have polled within the margin of error against Obama in multiple polls. What’s interesting is that Obama’s support drops from 47 to 42 when the contender is Paul instead of Romney (meaning Paul vs. Obama could be a much more volatile race).
Unlike Romney, Paul does not have popular support within the Republican party. However, even Rasmussen admits Paul is the strongest GOP candidate with non-affiliated voters BY A LOT.
I mean if Obama’s support drops all the way down to almost 40 in a head to head with Paul, wouldn’t it be worth a third party run (assuming the president’s approval rating is sub 40 and Mitt Romney is still being uninspiring)? The winner would only need about 37% of the popular vote to win.http://www.marketwatch.com/story/ron-pau…
“Paul currently does best of the four [Republican candidates] among voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties”

Lately, Republican candidates are taking shots at Mitt Romney because in his private equity life he had some failures. Democrats have made no secret that they are going to go after Romney because in his private equity life, he had to shut down some unprofitable plants to save businesses. Heaven forbid, other businesses he invested in went belly up. I am not here to defend or advocate for any particular candidate, but I do think that Americans need a much better perspective on failure.
Why are we so hard on failure?
One of the things the start up community does is embrace failure. When a company goes under, you learn from it. I have invested after tax dollars that were hard to earn into many companies, and not all of them have worked out. One went belly up. One is marginal, one is on fumes, and the rest are operating, but like any company they have challenges. I have had some exits too. But, even those had many twists and turns along the way and the company could have gone under.
Being in business isn’t easy. It’s risky. If it were easy, we’d all leave our cushy government and corporate jobs and go on our own and start entrepreneurial companies. But, statistics show that fewer than 30% of all start up businesses make it ten years. Starting a business isn’t rocket science, but it’s a heckuva lot tougher. But, encouraging people to take that risk leads to gigantic gains for our entire society.
To give you a little perspective, you need to know what Romney engaged in. He was in what is called Private Equity (PE). Most people confuse Private Equity with Venture Capital (VC). Venture invests in newer companies that have a new technology. Private Equity invests in an existing company that has been operating and reinvents that company. Usually, PE firms use a lot of leverage (debt), to generate returns. Extra leverage on the balance sheet magnifies the rate of return if the company can afford the debt load. If the company can’t afford it, it either restructures again or goes bankrupt. The reason it’s called Private Equity is that the money for the fund comes from private sources, not government sources. The companies that the PE firm buy and run are not listed on public markets, but closely held. The big payoff for PE comes when they spin the companies back out into the open market through an IPO or acquisition. Private Equity firms take risk.

It’s stunning. It’s like he just assumes most people are stupid and aren’t paying attention to what he’s doing….is he right?
Let’s pretend Mitt Romney had won in 2008 and done exactly what Obama has done….
Obama kept Guantanamo open. He kept Bush’s indefinite detention policies. He kept Bush’s state secrets arguments to shield the government from any lawsuits. He kept Bush’s guy (Bernanke) as the head of the Federal Reserve. He signed a health care “reform” bill into law whose centerpiece is an “individual mandate” (which is a Republican “market based” solution from the early 90s that Mitt Romney, a Republican, instituted at the state level in MA a few years ago). He tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan. He has committed about 50,000 troops to Iraq indefinitely (he claims they’re non-combat troops and that the war is over). He signed a bill to keep the tax rates on the “rich” the same as they were during the Bush years.http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110404/ap_o…
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama formally launched his re-election campaign Monday, urging grass-roots supporters central to his first White House run to mobilize again to protect the change he’s brought over the past two years.
The official start of his second White House bid, in the midst of three wars, a budget fight with Congress, and sluggish economic recovery, comes 20 months before the November 2012 election.

What if Mitt Romney, for instance, had done all this?
