I don’t like Romney, I won’t vote for him. Don’t waste your time pointing out his negatives...its lost on me. Only Ron Paul is further down my list.
I’m just relaying what I am hearing here.
That’s it.
...Looks like Todd wasn’t exactly going rogue.
He merely jumped the gun.”
Was he a little premature? lol
I agree with what you said..I also think when she said for some to “take one for the team” that she wants the candidates with less of a chance of winning(Santorum and Perry) to join forces with Newt to take out Romney. She hates Romney, I just saw the interview posted online, she doesn’t even like saying his name, just keeps on calling him “moderate” which to her and most of us is another way of saying “Far leftist kook.”
Missed it ! “;^(
Looking forward to the video!
I got that, Hun, I just wanted to try and give you some ammo to convince your friends.
Thanks for your input. I will support our nominee against Obama but glad I still have until the 31st to decide whom I will vote for in our Florida Primary. Believe if I wre in SC today it would be Newt. Sure going to be interesting to see what happens on Saturday evening!
I thought that Governor Palin might do this before the primary. I was hoping for an endorsement, but this just as good. It is so nice to see influential politicians getting behind Newt Gingrich, who is the Winston Churchill of our time. He would make a great president.
Hopefully he’ll keep his mouth shut and say nothing about the candidates....his past evidences when he speaks on important issues he majorly misses the mark.
Cains support for any candidate would not be such a good thing.
Receiving dividends while profitable does not necessarily equate to filing for bankruptcy years later, and Romney was out of Bain by 2000.
* Bain in 1993 invested $60 million when buying GS Industries, and received $65 million from dividends. GS filed for bankruptcy in 2001.
Similar story; Bain received in dividends $5M more than it invested. How does this equate to bankruptcy, and Romney was out of Bain by 2001.
* Bain in 1997 invested $46 million when buying Details, and made $93 million from stock offerings. The company filed for bankruptcy in 2003.
There were probably many other people who made money from the stock offering, which the market obviously viewed favorably at the time, and this doesn't describe the cause for the bankruptcy. And again, Romney left Bain in '99, well before 2003.
If anything perhaps Romney's absence was an indirect cause of these companies filing for bankruptcy??
Desperate??? Hardly...the man showed us all otherwise when he came up thru the rank and file...and that without a full staff or the backing he once had....this man is on a roll and IN the game rolling his dice as he sees fit...when and how.
Go Newt Go!!
Go Mo-joe Go!!!!!
Such a great shot!
Go Newt Go!
hat tip thanks
yes u know who I lifted it from...a quick way to give credit here
You are exactly right. She mostly wants Romney to tank and open the Florida primary to the conservatives, who will be Newt and Perry. I don’t Santorum has the where withall to hold on much longer and I don’t think he will play especially well in Florida.
The only thing Ron Paul wants at this point is to hold delegates hostage at the GOP convention to push his agenda.
“When did Romney become a moderate and stop being a liberal? I’ve noticed that even Newt calls him a moderate”
I think it’s a backhanded slap down. John Kerry called himself a “Massachusetts Moderate”. So that’s why Newt picked that phrase, IMO. Pubbie pundits are not ever going to call a Republican a liberal, but they might call them a Rockefellar Republican.
It gets really good at the 2;30 mark.....Newt nails it.
Y’all might have noticed, too, that the first words out of Sarah’s mouth tonight on Hannity’s show were high praise for the debate performance of Rick Perry.
DTogo, I’m giving you a few quotes, if you want the full story, go to the links and read the articles, I can’t paste everything in here. Bain borrowed money on these companies and paid it to themselves as dividends. This double-dipped the companies into debt and made them vulnerable to bankruptcy since they couldn’t weather any storm. This shows 22% of Bain’s invested companies by size that’ve been shown to have gone bankrupt so far, not a great business record to run on. You’re making a huge stretch saying because Romney left, one or two years later they suddenly went bankrupt. He also didn’t “leave,” he retained a controlling interest and I believe still gets a paycheck from Bain today.
The conditions for the bankruptcy were set because they over-leveraged the companies in order to take the money as fees and dividends and run. Money which then they got to keep even after the bankruptcy since Bain was a separate company. I call that gaming the system and as one creditor that threatened to sue them called it, “unjust enrichment.”
4 out of 10 of their biggest acquisitions went bankrupt and they nevertheless netted profits on 3 of them. One company also received a bailout from government insurance on its pension fund, even though Bain profited off that company and kept the money instead of contributing to the fund. So Bain profited off of the backs of the taxpayer in at least one case.
I know. It was SO obvious and SO hilarious!!!!
