Romney is making it real hard for me to pull the lever for him.
Pretty clear he has surrounded himself with morons... birds of a feather so to speak
Don’t think of it as voting for Mittens; think of it as voting against the Marxist usurper.
“Political terrorism”
There’s a powerful phrase if I’ve ever heard one.
I know, but it's not like mitt said: "I like being able to give women cancer." Even mitt is almost not quite. as far as we know, that stupid.
What Rush could have added to that story is that Bain Capital pumped $100 Million into that company. Some slash and burn act, eh? And that without the investment by Bain, Joe would have lost his job years before. And then there is the responsibility of Joe’s union for making GS so unprofitable that when the steel industry tanked, their company was the least profitable.
That phenomenon is not unknown ~ doesn't mean he killed her though, just that women must learn to be more assertive when it comes to going to the doctor about pains in the abdominal area (or, maybe HE KNEW, eh!).
Then, there's Rush Limbaugh who is still behind on the Mitt-news. Sure, Mitt officially left Bain at some point in time but between his temporary leave and his official leave there was a period where, in his words he retained "an ownership interests" and he "could have made decisions".
That's why the hapless FCC and the State Corporation Commission wanted his name on the annual filing as an OWNER BTW. Wasn't an accident, and yet it didn't mean a whole lot, and at the same time it still meant something.
Rush has been minimizing this for quite some time and now it's taken on the same sort of life Hannity has given to the claim that "47% pay no taxes at all" ~ which is just contrary to what we know about modern America. While somebody might miss a tax here or there, no one misses paying all his taxes.
Harry Reid has followed that up with a claim that Romney paid no taxes for 10 years ~ again, that's just impossible. Romney paid gasoline taxes if nothing else, and a lot of them ~ guy owns some cars eh!
Anytime someone says a guy with his name on the papers has nothing to do with a company, best to checkout why that name is on there ~ usually means he has something to do with the company. And when somebody says somebody never pays taxes, check that out too because you cannot escape taxes in America. Just doesn't happen.
My question here is why is Limbaugh making his falicious claims, and the same from Hannity. Are these guys dipping again, or what? Or, did they fire their fact checkers to improve profits ~ bad move when you're a top TALKER.
Old reflexes die hard, I guess. ;-)

They then took a bath and the company tanked anyway!
This had very little to do with the residual workforce ~ something less than 1000 workers ~ and they used to have over 10,000 I believe.
The world steel market was beating on America's doors selling cheaper steel and these companies were going under left and right ~ over 30 big ones in this period of time.
Two things about the deal ~ wouldn't have mattered if Bain had continued to pay for their former employee's medical insurance, Joe's wife was going to die because she simply didn't not call any doctor's attention to her problem in time.
Second, Bain made a mighty stupid management decision in acquiring this company. Although there are people who imagine Romney made $30,000,000 on the deal, I think he didn't make much at all ~ probably nothing. This company was to Bain what General Motors has been to the Obama Regime ~ A LOSER.
The lesson is that there are no easy profits in heavy manufacturing enterprises. People who tell you there are don't know what they're talking about.
They need a Bain to fix their problem, so yeah, they are speaking up on behalf of Bain, and companies like Bain, and even their former executives like Romney.
I doubt it will CNN will survive domestically. Cable TV in the USA itself is having troubles ~ and is opening up to "Internet only" options! Just did that myself.
Would be hilarious if Bain were to come in and take over CNN...
The republicans wanted obama to win in 2008. And they want him to win again in 2012. That’s the only answer. They can’t be THAT dumb.
Not dumb. They just want to be allowed access to the treasury.
Of course, neither is Obama.
Mark Twain was RIGHT. "If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it"
Just when I had resigned myself to begrudgingly “trust” that Mittens would do what he said about repealing 0BowMaocare .. now I am even more unsure than I was 4 months ago. It’s real hard for a Conservative like me to “pull the lever” again for a RINO in the same mold as GHW Bush, Dole, GWB, and Juan McCain!
Keep it up, Mittens. I just might stay home on election day.
yes the Republicans ARE that dumb.
