Devastating Anti-Romney Film Surfaces

Yes, that’s what you’ve heard because that’s what some people, particularly those as MSNBC or those who participate in Occupy Wall Street want you to believe.

But the facts are something else:

No, Bain Did Not Get a ‘Bailout’ -

http://www.nationalreview.com/exchequer/287927/no-bain-did-not-get-bailout

There a plenty of arguments against Romney but the one against his leadership at Bain is embarrassing and shockingly misinformed coming from Republicans and “conservatives”.

[Allon]

Yes, it’s 20 million from the casino boss.

No doubt you could find a lot of heart-tugging sob stories about how people's dreams of owning their own record store was shattered by the invasion of iTunes and iPods.

There's a difference between putting the horse and buggy out of business because of the invention of the automobile and buying small businesses with the intentions of loading it up with tons debt that can’t possibly be repaid so you can extract the capital.

Fact is, Bain Capital was behind a lot of success stories also

Then why does Romney fail to release proof of the jobs he's claimed he had created?

There are plenty of other ways to show Mitt Romney is unfit to be president

I agree with that. This video is a good example and only 5 minutes long and most likely what you're talking about. Romney flop flops so much that he makes John Kerry look decisive and stable.

[tsowellfan]

It’s not the greed part that’s the problem. Capitalism is not the enemy.

It’s how Romney made his money in the private sector and trying to use that as being a job creator. That’s the problem

[tsowellfan]

You could easily produce such a film against Steve Jobs and Apple Steve Jobs did not wake up in the morning and create a goal of intentionally putting those record stores out of business. In fact, he probably dreamed that someday they would be selling his IPODs in their stores.

this is very Michael Mooreish

I was wondering. Do you think Perry may have taken a look at all of Ron Paul's supporters and decided to try to siphon some of Paul's voters away?

[show]

Agreed. Romney is toast in the General Election.

The people in the film who have documented evidence how their lives were devastated when Romney took over will be available for multiple interviews going forward.

What Romney did isn’t Capitalism. Capitalism is about both turning a profit in a humane way. Caring more about the capital, ie the Commercial Washer and Dryers which were more profitable to Romney than the people who worked at the plant, shows how callous Romney is.

That is truly about Greed and this film exposing Romney as a job destroyer and liar.

Romney says he created 1000’s of jobs. That is a lie. That makes him a liar. In fact, he destroyed 1000’s of job for his own profit. Was it legal? Yes. Was it the smart thing to do if you wanted to run for President during a Recession, NO.

Romney lied about his Resume. And Newt is calling him out on it. That’s it in a nutshell.

[SamAdams76]

You are correct. That video you linked to is a perfect example of how we can show Romney is unfit to carry the GOP banner this election cycle. During the 1994 senate campaign (against Kennedy), Romney was clearly pandering to liberals. When the video got to the part where Romney said he was an Independent during the Reagan years and has no intention of "going back" to the Reagan years, I wanted to throw up.

Getting back to the Bain video, as I said before, conservatives should not put themselves in league with the marxist Michael Moore types just because we share the same enemy. If Romney did anything illegal at Bain Capital, then charge him and put him in jail with the Ken Lays and Ivan Boeskys of the world. Otherwise, we should defend capitalism even if it does sometimes have an ugly side. The alternative is the socialist, centrally planned economy that the liberals are dying to foist upon us.

[greeneyes]

Yeh and we hadn’t had years of really high unemployment. We are so screwed if he is the nominee in more ways than one.

I am glad that the issue is getting out there before mittens is the actual nominee. I just wish it wasn’t being portrayed as an attack on capitalism, and an excuse for GOP to beat Newt and Perry over the head with it.

[tsowellfan]

as I said before, conservatives should not put themselves in league with the marxist Michael Moore types just because we share the same enemy

I agree. Only because of lack of time. There's no time to explain the difference between what Romney was doing in comparisan to his claim of being a job creator. The typical American would need more time to get the facts and time is something we do not have.

It's not illegal what he did as far as I know. But to run for President claiming to be a job creator would be like Pall Mall adding vitamin C to their tobacco and calling their cigarette "Health Sticks".

[show]

From Conservatives perspective, this devastating attack isn't about Capitalism. Rather, it's about Romney's dishonesty.

The people in this film are real and are available for ongoing interviews which will all be Anti-Romney. And there are 100’s more where they cam from. These people are real and willing to put themselves out there to bash Romney.

This film isn't about Capitalism. It's about a person running for the President of the US LYING about his RESUME. Newt is calling Romney out for LYING about his Resume.

That is a good thing for us to do in order that this LIAR doesn't become our Nominee.... Because there are 100’s more just like those in this video who will accept to be interviewed on all the Talk Shows to bash Romney and his lies about Creating Jobs.

Romney has LIED about his Resume. And Professor Newt is calling him out on his lies.

[Antoninus]

There a plenty of arguments against Romney but the one against his leadership at Bain is embarrassing and shockingly misinformed coming from Republicans and “conservatives”.

No, it's not. Conservatives are all for capitalism. We are not for corporate raiders and people who make millions of dollars gaming the system and destroying the lives of ordinary Americans in the process. If you're for that, I don't know what you are. But you're not a conservative.

[Georgia Girl 2]

This is probably a little overblown but now Mitt knows what its like to get smeared. What he did to Gingrich in Iowa was 10 times worse than this.

[WorkingClassFilth]

Whores calling whores whores. What’s to see? It’s not my Party.

[sand lake bar]

I’m a conservative and I have no problem with what you call “corporate raiding.” Ask Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell what they think about it.

[show]

Sarah Palin is for Capitalism. But she also wasn’t afraid to expose those in her own Party who were gaming the system in oder to line their own pockets.

Newt is Anti-Crony Capitalism as is Sarah Palin who actually ran and won against the Crony Capitalists in Alaska.

Hope the same for Newt. Romney is a Crony Capitalist who lies about his resume.

Go NEWT !

[show]

Listing Corporate Raiding on a Resume does not equal creating 1000’s of jobs.

We are in a Recession. Anyone running for office is attempting to persuade the electorate that they can create jobs. One way to persuade others of ones ability to create future jobs, is to provide their resume that they have created jobs in the past.

That's what Romney is attempting to do. We are in a Recession and because a portion of the population is unemployed, he is attempting to persuade them to vote for him because he will create additional jobs. And Romney attempts to back his statements up with his control of BAIN. But when Bain is reviewed, it's obvious that it hasn't created jobs.

That's why Newt is calling him out. Romney has presented his background at Bain as a job creator which is False. It's basically that Romney has LIED on his own Resume.

[PAConservative1]

Privatize the profit and socialize the risk.

NOT true capitalism.

[Antoninus]

I’m a conservative and I have no problem with what you call “corporate raiding.”

Just so we're clear, you have no problem with a company that buys a distressed business, strips it down, removes the assets, lays off the employees, and walks away with a profit. You're ok with that?

I'm not. And very few people outside of the financial elite are either. I think Romney is about to find that out.

[PAConservative1]

Remember that infomercial Barry bought on the major networks before the 2008 election?

If Romney is the nominee, Obama’s campaign will blanket the media markets with this film in every swing state the week before election day. If that happens, expect Romney to lose by one of the biggest margins in American history.

Newt MUST stop Romney now!

[Antoninus]

That's why Newt is calling him out. Romney has presented his background at Bain as a job creator which is False. It's basically that Romney has LIED on his own Resume.

Yup. Romney is trying to spin his resume into something it's not. Bain was a predator and Romney was the predator-in-chief. If this comes back to bite him now, too d@mn bad.
