Plato, notReader comment on: An Illuminating Yet Bizarre Debate Submitted by John Gillis (United States), Oct 4, 2012 17:38 "Mr. Romney is better but still something some distance from the Platonic ideal of a consistent, free-market-oriented presidential candidate." I value the FoC editor, but surely he never thought that Romney was a free market candidate in any shape or form? So, I expect that was just a rhetorical flourish. Romney will never be, and never has argued himself that he is a free market person. He's a welfare state activist, who loves regulation (as he noted in his debate yesterday), so for laissez faire types as myself, he will always be a simple stopgap solution vs. the explicit socialism of Mr. Obama.
