Mitt Romney Answers Tech Questions

Posted by kdawson on from the good-start dept.

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.

    The man's opinions on any matter are irrelevant, because he will consult opinion polls and follow them. That is not necessarily a bad thing. We'd be better off if Bush did that. It would make us closer to really being a "Democracy".

    he's a economic genius and an experienced leader.

    Bullshit. He's a venture capitalist. VCs risk other people's money, and make out big if they get a hit. I've seen no indication that Romney can actually run a business, or that he had a higher proportion of hits than an average VC.

    As for being a "leader", give me a break. He was the governor of Taxachusetts, and his "accomplishments" there include standing by and doing squat while the Big Dig pissed away an incredible quantity of tax dollars.
