Mitt Romney has spent more than 20 years in private enterprise, making thousands of business decisions affecting hundreds of companies that led to more than 100,000 new jobs and billions of dollars for employees and investors. So you can see why the left despises him.
Among Romney's thousands of business decisions, the one I gather his opponents consider his absolute worst was the decision to close a paper plant in Marion, Ind. Which wasn't his decision at all.
It was labor trouble at the Marion plant of a Bain-acquired company, Ampad, that formed the basis of Teddy Kennedy's desperate 11th-hour attack on Romney in their 1994 Senate competition. Plant worker Randy Johnson was featured in Kennedy campaign commercials against Romney and disgruntled workers were lavished with Dickensian lachrymosity in The Boston Globe.
In the current presidential campaign, Democrats -- and some Republicans -- have returned to Ampad and the Marion plant as their case in chief against Romney.
The "King of Bain" movie that a pro-Newt Gingrich super-pac just bought with money donated by a gambling magnate cites only one company closed by Bain when Romney was even there.
Guess which one? That's right: Ampad.
The Democratic National Committee has retained Johnson to go on tour in order to more fulsomely describe the horrors perpetrated by Bain Capital on workers at that plant. As salt-of-the-earth Johnson explains, he lost his job at Ampad because Romney "didn't care about the worker."
It is beyond journalistic malpractice for media outlets showcasing the bitter and lying Johnson to neglect to mention that he was the union president who led the strike that forced Ampad to close the plant.
And yet The New York Times, MSNBC and others who have publicized Johnson's sob story regularly refuse to convey that crucial fact. This would be as if a judge excluded the fact that the defense's principal witness is the defendant's mother. Read More »

Hey Ann!
Why didn’t Romney run for reelection?
Maybe he wasn’t as good with other people’s money, as he was with his own money.

Good catch, the ream thingie from a different perspective.
I missed that completely, but it sure makes sense.
I also saw it as a play on one brick shy of a load, one flea shy of an OWSer, 1/2 a bubble off dumb, etc.

My, you sure do take the posting of facts personally.
I wish FR had the influence you give it, making it seem that a few posters here will decide elections.
Your hyperbole of hating and calling names is like a man made of straw.

Romney has been running for President for 7 years now. He still freezes like a deer in headlights during certain debate questions. He's not going to get any better. He should have all his answers down pat now, but he doesn't. He'll be a weak nominee if he becomes it.
By the way, who the heck is Ann's boyfriend? Hannity keeps threatening to out her. I'm sure it's some liberal. Possibly in the news business or entertainment.

That's why the dems love him.
The GOP want him in because they know he won't be pushing any of those pesky Constitutional Conservative programs.
Same as the blondes at Fox News. (they all fit that category at this point)

“Romney has been running for President for 7 years now. He still freezes like a deer in headlights during certain debate questions. He's not going to get any better. He should have all his answers down pat now, but he doesn't.”
I agree. You would think that, by now, he would be able to anticipate just about any question and have a well-prepared answer for it (even if we don't like his answer). But he seems nervous and lacking in confidence, maybe from a lack of conviction ...
