you can fire workers and strip companies on the way up, and then if you are big and influential enough, demand taxpaying workers bail you out on the way down.

..and after Obama used Bain during the closing of GM car dealerships all over the US, tis all forgotten....and tax payers never saw 90 billion of so-called loans paid back

......."Among the insiders who received the no-strings-attached cash were Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Deutsche Bank AG, Merrill Lynch, Societe Generale, Calyon, Barclays Plc, Rabobank, Danske, HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland, Banco Santander, Morgan Stanley, Wachovia, Bank of America, and Lloyds Banking Group.

Not surprisingly, just a cursory examination of Federal Election Commission campaign finance reports shows Romney banked over $798,000 from employees of TARP recipients."....

“A previous story incorrectly reported that Mitt Romney’s former firm, Bain & Co., was part of a team of consulting companies that advised President Barack Obama on a decision to shutter car dealerships during the auto bailout.

Bain & Co. said it has no connection to the “Bain Consulting” firm referenced in government documents.”

Absolutely damming idictment of Romney and Bain from
Mr. Conservative Richard Viguerie. Now let one of the RINOs on Faux News say Viguerie is talking like a democrat. He’ll have them for lunch.

Thanks for posting.

Viguerie always has a way of getting to the key point and making it crystal clear.

-"Bain & Co. said it has no connection to the “Bain Consulting” firm referenced in government documents.” Two sides of the same coin.

BUMP!

The anti Capitalism charge from Rush, Hannity, Levin et al...no use mentioning Republican establishment figures who make no bones about their Romney tilt, nor the Wall Street Journal...is just as bogus as it can be.

They called out Gingrich and Perry for digging into the morass and critiquing certain practices, as though you can’t support Capitalism and look at bad practice at the same time...

Now, in effect, Viguerie is calling THEM out.

“Texas Gov. Rick Perry ... has money to spend and nothing left to lose. Former Sen. Rick Santorum lost some of the momentum he generated by tying Romney in Iowa, but he may get support from a group of influential conservative activists, including direct-mail maven Richard Viguerie, who are meeting in Texas.”

In January 2008, Viguerie launched http://www.ultimateronpaul.com, a website designed to promote the 2008 presidential candidacy of U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, whom Viguerie described as “truly a principled conservative in the grand tradition of Robert Taft, Barry Goldwater, and Ronald Reagan” and who “has differentiated himself from all the other candidates, whose allegiance is to Big Government Republicanism.”

Criticize him over his support of TARP -- that's perfectly legitimate. It still has nothing to do with Bain Capital. Why must everyone keep harping on that?

Is this saying that Viguerie, who supported Paul in 2008, is meeting with other Conservatives, to possibly help out Rick Perry?

They’re supposedly meeting to try to come up with one to back. I believe that is the idea.

More about Viguerie from Wikipedia...

“When Viguerie spoke at a conference of Libertarian Party state chairs in March 2007, he stated the following about the 2006 United States general elections: “Whenever conservatives are unhappy, bad things happen for the Republican Party.”

They are connected.

If you read carefully, the connection is there.

However, the central point is to demand that the talk show kingpins, etc. stop with their absurd claim that to criticize specific practices of a specific type of company or even a specific company is to ATTACK CAPITALISM.

No, it isn’t.

How stupid do they think their listeners are?

If Romney’s problem is hypocrisy, then he’s a shoo -in. Compared to Obama there ain’t no hypocrisy.

It’s obvious to everyone Romney is NOT wanted by a large majority of conservatives.

SO time for Plan B.
