Durbin doesn't understand that part.
Sure, Bain probably exported a job here or there, but they also imported some jobs. They're a major operator ~ and even if all they did was screw around with Canada or Mexico there'd been some job swaps.
Over on the Right To Life side, everybody has a problem with Romney's involvement in the cheap abortion business in Massachusetts with taxpayers forced to subsidize abortion. But the RTL side has noticed that Bain, after Romney left direct management, got involved with Stericycle ~ at that time one of the leading medical waste disposal companies ~ and turned it into THE LEADING medical waste disposal company AND America's premiere broker in dead babies! (gotta' be some polite way to say it but I"m busy here).
Romney said, in regard to that period when he was away from direct management that he retained an ownership interest, and more suspiciously, he said he could have stepped in at any time and made decisions ~ but he didn't.
So I"ve been wondering about what decisions he wishes he'd made ~ certainly not that petty stuff about exporting jobs ~ that is really chump change ~ Democrats export more jobs every minute than Bain did in 20 years I am sure ~ but what kind of decision does Romney REGRET NOT MAKING?
I'm guessing it has something to do with Stericycle. Talk about something ruining your options for running for President, being Stericycle's financial enabler ~ responsible for providing them the big bucks to expand ~ particularly into the new and exciting field of fetal brokerage ~ that'd sure be it.
With over 50% of the country now opposed to abortion on demand, this sort of activity looks less and less modern and progressive to more and more voters.
I have no doubt he wishes he'd had the common sense to tell the board 'drop those guys' ~ but maybe the money was too good.
Whatever, he's running a campaign without the social Conservatives available to do some ground pounding work for him.
Too bad. He could have been President but he clearly didn't want to. He had other things on his mind.
When he should have been giving it up to Jesus he gave it up to Obama!
Bain had nothing to do with the babies being killed by their mothers and the abortion business.
I suppose your solution was to just let them be thrown into a dumpster (which has happened on numerous occasions) or systematically dumped into a mass grave at the discretion of the clinic?
Who is to say the latter has also not happened?
Would you be the one to step up and take the remnants of all jumbled fetuses together and determine what belonged to what so they could be interred in a more humane way?
Reality is a b!t@h. Assailing the symptoms of a societal sickness will do nothing to eradicate the cause. Until we change the culture and attitudes of our society, you will be inundated with more and more symptoms while the cause goes on unabated.
Granted, I like most others here know that Romney is not the answer, but it is what it is or are you really just another plant pecking at the edges until we get Obama back for another 4 years. If Romney is elected, we can bounce him just as easily after 4 years as it appears Obama has a good chance of being. Maybe four years of half measures will enlighten a society to seek more than that and we know the Democrats do not have the answers.
Of course Barack Obama will never accuse Mitt of being too active in the abortion biz.
To all records, Mitt exercised a hands off policy towards Bain’s business decisions after 1999. With Stericycle being brought on board, he may have figured he did not need the radioactivity. But it has to have kicked some dough his way. Thankfully, abortion itself has been on a downward trend, though slowly, over the last decade or so. Maybe that’s why Stericycle was suffering and needed Bain?
