Another Republican says something...

...sensible. From an article in the Times this morning, "After Bailout of Auto Industry, Detroit Fallout Trails Romney" (my emphasis):

“I fully support an entrepreneurial, free-enterprise capitalist system that must include failure and the consequences of failure,” said Mike Jackson, chief executive and chairman of AutoNation, the largest auto retailer in the country. “I think the American people in principle agree with Mitt Romney. Unfortunately, we were in the midst of a historic, catastrophic, financial meltdown. And it was one of those moments where the reality trumped your principles. You had to hold your nose.”

Reality. That's a difficult concept for many of today's Republicans.
