The Florida Times-Union ^ | 4/29/12 | Carole Fader

Posted on 10/19/2012 6:52:01 PM PDT by sushiman

Is it true that Mitt Romney closed down his firm, Bain Capital, and flew 30 workers to New York to look for the missing daughter of one of his colleagues?

The fact-finding groups PolitiFact.com, Snopes.com and Truthorfiction.com all rate this as true, and media reports of the day confirm much of the details of the viral email.

Well, YOUR boy wee obama asks God nothing, too busy praying to Allah.

Do you pray to Allah, also? That would explain why you lie so unashamedly to further your agenda.

Speaking of lies, it was the Massachusetts Supreme Court that ruled blocking gays from marrying was unconstitutional. Romney had to either follow that ruling or overthrow the state supreme court.

Instead, he followed the state Constitution in submitting a Defense of Marriage ballot initiative and leading rallies to get it passed.

But you know all this... you just prefer to continue lying and trying to manipulate people here into believing otherwise.

“What a pitiful post, being nothing but a childish outburst and personal attack, there just isn’t anything to answer.”

Cute, but my quote doesn’t fit that post in any way, I pointed out that your post to me was irrelevant, and I added facts about Bishop Romney’s religious prominence and titles, facts.

How’s this picture... Romney = Friend asks Romney for help to find his missing daughter Result = Closes down his firm to help search for girl. Missing girl is found, alive.

That was no mere "friend", he was a man so powerful that he is in line to become Mitt's Holy Prophet, and to receive revelations from God, and who will one day be a God himself, as will Mitt.

There is nothing Beck could say that I would believe without additional sources.
He has been a lap dog for Romney from the beginning.

Go dig some up, before you continue this Slug Fest!

Yes. It is true that Romney helped a friend find his daughter, that is a good thing.
The story however, has been greatly exaggerated.

You got it, Ans
The original Boston Global story, is also a good read very different from whats reported now.
The story has taken a grain of truth and been expanded into a fairy tale.

Wrong, the father knew his daughter went to a rave.
The father waited three days before he told anyone because he thought she would come back.
The daughter returned on her own, she waited because she was afraid she was going to get in trouble.
Did Romney help a friend look for his daughter, yes.
That’s a good thing, the story has been spun into an exaggerated fairy tale.

March 10-14, 2006 Romney says laws require Catholic Charities not to discriminate against same-sex parents in its adoption placements [but there’s only an administrative regulation]. He says same-sex couples have “a legitimate interest” in adopting children.

Oct. 15, 2006 Romney addresses nationally broadcast “Liberty Sunday” (Family Research Council) event in Boston. Blames SJC for Mass. problems, says we need an outpouring of respect and tolerance for all people regardless of different choices they make, and as a nation we must reject discrimination and bigotry.

Interesting donta think.

It can’t be anonymous if people know about it.

"When the now Republican presidential (Romney) candidate toured a Veterans Administration hospital while in a political race against Ted Kennedy, he discovered an awful truth: The facility could not afford enough dairy products for the sick soldiers."

"After reviewing the medical center’s books and noting that the facility appears to be run well, he asked what they needed help with or might be lacking. The quickly uttered response consisted of one simple word: milk."

The GOP candidate had made a joke about learning how to milk a cow, he apologized later and donated milk.

Really, be realistic.

Did Romney do a good thing donating milk, sure.

However, realize he did AFTER making joke the warriors had no milk and said to learn to milk cows - hardly magnanimous.

I’ve seen false and distorted information from you before, sorry.

Please post a source to your comments if you are standing behind your claims.

It is amazing how many “anonymous” things Romney does that everyone knows about.
It is not that the Romney’s do not do good things, they are not alone in “good things”, some however, here (FR) who think that Romney good things are better than what millions of people do everyday, and never are “praised” for it.

Case in point... it was anonymous from Romney the entire time and he didn't make it public himself later, the milk delivery man spilled the beans when he retired.

You would know this if you actually were interested in the truth and looked at the link. But that is never the way with you guys, is it...

Maybe, but reading posts on FR these days they very well could be lab dogs, I mean really, some of the distortions would have to be from lab animals.

The bane of auto correct.....never type on a phone
