Mitt Romney spoke with Pennsylvania legislators and reporters yesterday as card check opponents rallied at the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg, PA.
“I think it would have a devastating impact on the nature of business creation in this country. I think you’d find that the economy would be impacted by this more than anything we’ve done negatively in the past 25 years. I consider this as an attack on American entrepreneurialism, on the American workplace and on the American worker."
Since April 14, here's a sampling of Romney comments about card check. (Sourced here, here, here, and here).
a. "it's about as un-American a thing as I can imagine"
b. "a cloud over the creation of business"
c. "targeted and intimidated"
d. "dramatically change the workplace"
e. "help destroy many thousands of jobs throughout the economy"
f. "selling out the American worker"
g. "devastate business formation and employment"
h. "In my view, it would be the single most devastating thing we've done to our economy"
i. "I think you’d find that the economy would be impacted by this more than anything we’ve done negatively in the past 25 years. I consider this as an attack on American entrepreneurialism, on the American workplace and on the American worker."
Conclusion: If Romney flips on card check in 2012, he's doomed.
