Club for Growth President Chris Chocola, a key free-market voice, Thursday warned that Mitt Romney hasn't made the case that he is a 'pro-growth' candidate and that his positions on free trade and other issues have given conservatives pause this year.Good Lord, they actually want more? I suppose Mitt could call for re-institutionalizing slavery (we'll start out small, just allowing it in the outlying territories, then work our way back up), but short of that I'm not sure what other pro-big-business panders he can offer. It is interesting that even the Club For Growth isn't keen on Mitt's China-bashing, though:
'I think he has the potential to exceed expectation. But it's a mixed bag with Romney, that's his problem. People don't really know,' Chocola explained, noting that his recent attacks on the nation's trading relationship with China 'gives us cause for concern. He knows better [but] he says what he says.'Poor Mitt. I don't think there's anything that will get "true conservatives" on board, at this point.
