Romney Led Bain's Investment in Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses
The Atlantic Wire ^ | July 2, 2012 | Elspeth Reeve

Posted on 07/02/2012 10:59:19 AM PDT by van_erwin

David Corn has a report out this morning that pushes the continuing attacks on Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital forward not just because of the business it involves — disposing of aborted fetuses — but because it extends the length of time he worked at Bain. According to Securities and Exchange Commission documents, Romney was involved in Bain's investment in a company called Stericycle in late 1999. What did Stericycle do? Well, it was a fast-growing, profitable medical waste company. But it also had some problems, such as getting fined for keeping body parts and dead animals in unmarked containers or exposing workers to tuberculosis. And then there were the fetuses. Romney now describes himself as "adamantly pro-life" now but embraced pro-choice positions on abortion in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Back when Bain was involved with Stericycle, anti-abortion activists have waged a campaign against the company.

But that revelation may not be the most significant part of Corn's report (conservatives who aren't wild about Romney's conservative credentials aren't making much noise now that Romney is the Republican nominee). The most damaging part may be the dates.

If there is a name to replace Mitt Romney on the ballot, it had better be trumpeted now and loudly.

Virgil Goode, the good candidate. Now you have no excuse.

They have no other viable GOP candidate, that's why I conclude they are supporting Obama. It really isn't complicated.

Your ad hominem response is noted. Now, show us how you can defend Romney.

If you can't defend your boy to me how you going to defend him to others?

98 was when we all re signed up. I was here long before that ~ found out about FreeRepublic when I signed on to AOL ~ and found access to OTHER providers and lo and behold there were these people who didn't talk funny.

Newbie!

Constitution Party was on 37 ballots in 2008. Think they will win in 2012?

There go the Catholic voters.

They have a choice. Join those who murder the babies, or join those who bury the babies.
Decisions, decisions.

BTW, nothing says Romney was involved in this. He didn't spend his entire life at Bain Capital, you know. The left is already admitting.......well......they lied about Romney's outsourcing.

I'm sure the lies are going to keep coming. They're going to get so bad, people will think the left fell through a worm hole and landed in another dimension.

You should look up the company ~ quite interesting. They have their very own anti- group working to harrass the devil out of them. Other companies are named.

It's not like Corn just came up with this out of thin air ~ he's simply an opportunist with no morals or values.

‘scuse the language but ‘farting around’ is what a lot of people here do best.

How about if they made $$$$$ selling the land for the 911 Victory Mosque

Bain or Romney? Since Romney left Bain in 1999 and the sale was in 2009 did Romney profit?

“There is a pro-choice candidate running, Andre Barnett.”

Ahh.. so you purpose here is to carry water for pro-abort Andre. No sale.

Easy enough to say but let's see the dates again, and where your record differs from "theirs" maybe it'll show Bain, and Romney in particular, had no dealings whatsoever with folks who prospered by disposing of murdered infants.

This is not like they were a mortuary BTW.

Who provides phone service, trash service, electrical service, internet service to abortion providers?

Get over yourself!

It is impossible to avoid the abortion issue in the real world of business.

Tell us how much better Romney is. I fail to discern the difference and I’m usually pretty sharp on finding differences. They just aren’t there this time.

Only if you surrender and vote for a liberal.

My vote alone won’t win it for him.

Again, will he get enough votes in 37 states to take the election?

How much ad money does the Constitution Party have?

How many elected office holders?

“Republicans can step back from the precipice ~ there’s still time”

No there isn’t. The die has been cast.

And you have crossed the threshold into Obamabot territory. You may tell yourself that you are only a “conscientious objector”, for whatever reason you picked up from a blog, but just remember that traitors always claim the same thing.

What meds are you on, FRiend? You may want to get together with your doctors and/or pharmacists and check on dosage and compatibility. You’re usually not foaming at the mouth like this, so I have to assume there’s some underlying cause. I’m totally serious.

Better tell a friend then. Stop making excuses and get it done.
