Rush Limbaugh gonna get you. You can’t attack crony captialist, they are his BUDDDIES. They wouldn’t buy votes in Congress, they wouldn’t dare suck that “ol gumament tit”.

[Psalm 144]

You are going to get called an OWS Stalinist Trotskyite Alinskyite saboteur and wrecker for posting that.

Just saying.

[driftdiver]

Well Mittens is a leftists, so why wouldnt they?

[Logical me]

[freespirited]

Would be interesting to see how this compares to other firms on the Boston financial scene.

Rush Limbaugh is soft as butter

The emporer’s clothes are off.

Long live Mark Levin.

Twice the balls in half the sized man.

[Utmost Certainty]

Good find. Looks like Bain Capital's been a big lobbyist too. Not sure what the details of all this mean yet, but let's rummage and find out.

Folks, the links in the first post don’t work (I was on gov’t time when I did that). However, the links in my second post (which I created while working at my private sector job) do work.

[Izzy Dunne]

Romney machine is to huge.

Too big to fail ???

[cotton1706]

Well, golly gee, this may be the reason for all the panic. Hope this spreads far and wide. Feeding the gravy train trough. Might as well elect a president who was head of Goldman Sachs.

Imagine the nerve of Gingrich criticizing the likes of this!

I coulda smacked him upside the head for some of his comments, but on balance ... Gingrich's attacks on ROMNEY and Romney's version of "capitalism" via Bain -- which SENDT MONEY to the likes of Al Franken already this year -- should be PRAISED, not knocked -- for Pete's sake, have a little PERSPECTIVE!!! Romney, not Gingrich, is the far greater threat. Romney needs to be taken out.

Attention Rush Limbaugh (and Happy Birthday, Rush!) -- If you're too squeamish for the way Gingrich is doing battle against the enemy that is Romney, at least remember who you're AIDING when you criticize Newt, and please consider just shutting up and letting the chips fall where they may. Thomas Sowell and I think it's pretty obvious that Newt is OBVIOUSLY preferable over Romney. Rush, however, is too chicken-hearted to state the obvious.

Is Willard at Bain now? When was he there last... and what was Bain & Bain-connected’s giving records for the time Willard was there? That’s more important than stuff they did when Willard wasn’t even there.

It is a shakedown, BTW.

Private Equity companies have a sweet deal in the tax code. Shummer wants to take it away, unless the Private Equity firms pay up.

Look at the donations to the Democratic groups. In 2012, $100,000 was donated to the DCCC and $200,000 to the Democratic party.

[Reagan69]

They’re all in the big Roman spa together.

[Utmost Certainty]

Romney relied on corporate welfare

[dfwgator]

It’s called ‘hedging your bets.’

[vbmoneyspender]

So if I dig up the records for the 1990’s and they show a similar donation pattern, what will you say then?
