Why can’t Bain Capital invest $12 million in Edgar Online? A college friend of mine bought shares in that in a private offering 10 years ago. Is he evil too? Newt is disgusting for unleashing a torrent of ignorance of venture capitalism among conservatives. And Romney isn’t even with Bain any longer. WTF?
Is this possibly the answer and I really don’t know: They didn’t invest in it, they bought it... that seems to be a difference. And Bain currently give millions and millions of dollars to democrats... in very large amounts..
Plus the fact, let’s say Newt did let loose this torrent of ignorance, and I am not sure I agree he did, then why wasn’t the republican party’s response - and all the conservative media’s response - a measured, enlightening, teaching response - along the lines that capitalism, like any human endeavor, can be a vehicle for human failings, but on the whole it has been the greatest enterprise system for freedom liberty yada yada...
A lot of people supporting Newt and voting for Newt in their first election, could have learned a lot from that.. including me..
Instead it was oh don’t attack the beloved republican party and their capitalist principles - a lot of that coming from people who spend 90% of their professional lives badmouthing the party..
Nicki Haley - who betrayed the Tea Party in SC, out there saying, that she wanted to defend the republican party because they stood for principles of capitalism...
There was not one single word from the establishment said that was negative about rogue capitalism and they missed a real opportunity in my estimation to teach and not to look so out of touch..
Newt per norm was taken totally out of context... this whole thing, especially rush, has got me so upset, I cried myself to sleep last night... Newt didn’t do anything wrong.. everybody jumped all over him and NOT ONE PERSON defended him in the conservative media...
INSTEAD what did they do: you now have people
Dang that Newt, Obama and his Chicago political machine were probably not going to say a thing about Bain Capital since he's not there any more. Much like Haliburton would never be an issue for Dick Cheney since he had left there years before becoming Vice President.
Oh, and Occupy Wall Street is just a coincidence.
I dont’ know what happened to my post... it just sort of cut off in midsentence... sorry. I was actually just rambling on, so no big loss..
