Disgruntled employees. That is unheard of.

>>Why not the current Bain CEO who is one of 0bama’s biggest bundlers?

{crickets crickets crickets crickets}

That would probably detract too much from Myth’s Democratic base.

How’bout a nice game of NyLon sheeple-pong for The Party chair?

That’s right, and stories of Bain doing some tough cost-cutting at acquired companies could actually backfire on the democrats because the vast majority of Americans know we need a President who will make some tough decisions and do some serious budget-cutting now. All Americans, except delusional ultra-liberal lunatics, know that we cannot continue running trillion dollar deficits and we have to start cutting federal spending substantially starting next year. The stories from these former Bain employees could actually help Romney and at worst (for us) they’ll have no impact on the election results.

“A knowledgeable source told Fox News that possible speakers could include Steve Pagliuca — managing partner at Bain Capital, considered the unofficial head of the firm. Pagliuca is a co-owner of the Boston Celtics who ran for the Massachusetts Senate seat formerly held by the late Ted Kennedy and lost in the Democratic primary to Martha Coakley in 2010.”

“Another possible speaker is Jon Lavine, an Obama campaign bundler and very senior member of the firm. Matt Levin, also a partner at Bain, is said to be very active in Democratic politics as well and could be included in the program.”

My only question is: if Bain is so evil, why do these Dems still work there?

Will one of them be the top bundler for Obama, who was CEO of Bain when all those GST Steel layoffs occurred?

Heck. I’d testify against the company that laid me off, not the one that took it over a few months later. (The layoff was done solely to increase the value of the place.)

A very good question.. problem is most American voters don`t exercise that type of critical thinking.

Bain has how many employees throughout the years..thousands? Yet all they could find were TWO who have some kind of grudge..BIG DEAL..anyone with a small business sitting at home watching that nonsense will understand that in their own business they have fired people, everyone who has had a business has let someone go or fired them for one reason or another. So this garbage won’t work

How many Ceo’s from Solyndra will be there? How many former employees from the green energy revolution? How about the guy that owns the sign company that got stimulus dollars to make signs for signs for the ARRA worksites? Wonder how much work he has these days?

I love that they’re focused on Romney. Hope the entire convention is about him.

It's hard to imagine how two Bain executives can badmouth Romney without tainting themselves, Bain and the shareholders. But they've probably got it figured out.

Bain Capital is one of Mitt Romney’s weaknesses.

Not according to Bill Clinton.

From Politico:

On Thursday evening (back in May), Clinton had called Romney’s business record “sterling.”

“I don’t think that we ought to get into the position where we say ‘This is bad work. This is good work,’” Clinton said on CNN Thursday. “The man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold.”

This is about providing meat to the ravenous media. Nothing more. The DNC knows (and likely will arrange a priori) that the media will run hard with the stories of Bain discontent and Romney-is-bad-ism’s from the leftist Bain-istas. It will be 24 hours of effective negativity, and, yes, Romney-Ryan better be ready with a counterattack.

You should change your moniker to the Most Nattery Naboob of negativity. You are the most negative human being I have read online.
