GOP candidates shy away from Nevada housing crisis

GOP candidates shy away from Nevada housing crisis
"This Vegas has not been a major part of the political dialogue this week, as the candidates for the GOP presidential nomination visit the state. While he was in Nevada last fall, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who is far ahead in pre-caucus polls, said it would not be a good idea to "try to stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom."

No wonder he has zip to say about the housing crisis. His "policy" would be to just let everybody lose their homes to the banks. But that won't stop people from voting for him, will it? Never let your economic self-interest get in the way of your Neanderthal opinions on social issues, I always say.

If a Republican candidate took a position on housing, it would be something like "FORCED MEMBERSHIP VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTION"

According to Mitt Romney at /mittromneycentral.com/category/right-to-work/

American workers deserve a number of rights:
1. Right to a secret ballot
2. Right to at least 30 days notice before a union election
3. Right to work in a non-union state
4. Right to know if they are members of a union, they shouldn’t have dues taken out their paycheck to go to politicians they disagree with.


The Republican candidates do not believe that American homeowners deserve these same rights.
