Mitt Romney Answers Tech Questions

DesScorp sends a link to a TechCrunch interview in which GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney answers questions of interest to techies. Included are questions on H-1B visas, Internet taxation, venture capital taxation, alternative energy, and carbon emissions. Finally, we learn that Romney is a PC guy, and get a summary of what's on his iPod.

What's on his iPod

[Phroggy]

"Who Let The Dogs Out" ...and whatever else he thinks might be popular with the electorate.

Perhaps because Ron Paul has about as much of a chance of being the next POTUS as CmdrTaco.

Romney is the greatest USA Presidential candidate ever. Think about it.

Look at someone like Ron Paul. What if you don't agree with Ron Paul about something? Bad news... ...he'll still hold an opposing stance.

Mitt Romney, though, is the true candidate of hope. He likely agrees with you. He might not now, but he probably has at some point in the past and might again in the future.

In this political season where the candidates are talking about change, the change involves growing the size and roll of government (which isn't change at all). The REAL candidate of change is Mitt Romney. Sure, he'll expand government too, but his positions change often. And change is change.

Vote change. Vote Mitt Romney!

Pot, kettle...

Actually, he says that his iPod has those clean-living, drug-free, god-fearing Mormon boys, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

oh wait...

"As for wealth and power coming from freedom, I couldn't agree more. I'm an American. My wife and I both come from lower-class to very lower-class backgrounds. My mom (single divorced parent, 4 kids) was a frequently unemployed elementary school teacher. My wife's father has held a variety of odd jobs. We both worked hard, and we're both now in law school. Within a few years - practically upon graduation - our combined income will be well over six times what either of our parents brings home right now. There are very, very few places in the world where a person can make that kind of socioeconomic jump in one generation without criminal/political connections. America is one of those places.

If you're unhappy where you're at, here's a tip - work harder and work smarter. Whining will get you nowhere."

So, what's the link with freedom then? Your 'power and wealth' are not from freedom, is what you're saying here, it's from hard and smart work.

A chinese person could make the same jump in income easily (probably much easier, as his/her parents are still being paid by communist norms while he might pursue a career in a market driven field) but I wouldn't call China a haven of freedom.

Q: What's on Mitt Romney's iPod?

A: His instructions.

Interview from November 1st, 2007?

[peter_gzowski]

He's likely changed at least half of these positions since then...

As Flash Gordon, one of the worst political possibilities I can think of is voting for Ming the Merciless.

A techno remix of "who let the dogs out" with "he raised taxes"?

"JFK was Catholic and that was a big thing back then."

Indeed it was...a BIG deal!!

Hehehe...but, with this election season, it almost seems like they're trying to set up a joke:

"Ok, so a mormon, a black guy, and a woman all walk into a bar....err...debate...and...."
