He’s not my candidate—way too liberal and I was totally disillusioned with him when he was guv and I was in MA—but this is a worthy story. It shows him with the right priorities, taking heroic leadership and initiating action.
No, you don’t vote for him for president because of it, but credit given where it’s due.
Well, that's not something I would attach to abortion and homosexual agendas.
Ross Perot rescued a bunch of hostages.
How’d he work out for the Republican party?
Sorry, but Mitt Romney is still just a lying small politician with a lot of money.
He still supports the individual insurance mandate.
He still supports his RomneyCare with it’s $50 abortions.
He still refuses to back re-instating DADT.
In short, he is still the same crappy liberal GOP-E candidate he was yesterday.
He is still lying his fool head off.
Not interested.
>>>No, you don’t vote for him for president because of it, but credit given where it’s due.
This is pure, shameless PR FLACK. I give Willard NO credit because of this, or anything else. None. Zip. Nada.
If I recall correctly, Ross Perot never ran as a Republican.
He started his own party.
He ran as an Independent.
Hmmm that’s what Romney ran as in Massachusetts isn’t it?
How dare you make a rational statement?! During the political season this is not allow. Admin!
He was worried that his partner could lose a very important tax deduction.
True story of a selfless man of action. Contrast Romney’s determined search with the actions of another Mass senator, one Teddy Kennedy, who drove Mary Jo Kopechne off a bridge as a drunken driver and then left her to drown while he swam away to save his own sorry political a$$.
I'm guessing you're not familiar with corporate law and the rights of officers. He wasn't within his rights to do this - if this PR email is remotely a description of what he did.
And what does it have to do with anything that the girl was related to a partner?
That she was a daughter of a partner in Bain? Probably a lot. But I suspect the fact that this girl was the daughter of a General Authority of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints had everything to do with Romney's actions. Don't you?
Hum? If you do a simple search, there are dozens of stories about this issue. This particular one is greatly enhanced.
It was a fine thing to orchestrate, there was no reason to enhance the event.
Yes, some loser establishment Republicans have come out to unleash vitriol against Newt. But there is a difference between Newt and Romney. Newt found Christ, and has repented and been redeemed. Willard is still the same loathsome snake he’s always been. It’s all right there in the open-—its in his words, his voice, his face, his eyes.
And he still can’t stop lying and flopping.
No good deed goes unpunished.
I am familiar with corporate law.
And if I could get the hours of my life back that I spent on silly CEO-mandated company functions, seminars, “leadership training”, and “team building” over the years I would have many fewer grey hairs.
Management is infatuated with this sort of thing; what Romney did is no more of an imposition on his crew, and way more interesting/useful than what goes on every day.
As for the Mormon angle- what of it ? Its his social circle, they are his people. You have your people, I have my people. If one of them has a problem it is more directly my problem than the troubles of some stranger.
No. I don't think so. Huntsman, Jr.'s (the ex-Presidental candidate) father is a name partner in Huntsman Gay Global Capital. Gay is Robert Gay, LDS General Authority (an Area Seventy and former Mission President over part of Africa) and former Bain Capital founder.
And Bain just bought a $600 million stake in The Huntsman Corporation. And there are more links.
But neither Huntsman (Sr. or Jr.) owns Bain Capital.
Anybody know something I'm missing?
I have no need to “do a simple search.” I have known of Romney’s successful rescue efforts for years. Many don’t know the story, though, so posting this account is an appropriate way to educate the public.
“Do I hear a second out there?”
I second it! Plus... IBTZ.
My point is that there was no need to enhance the event, which is what this particular story does.
It was a generous effort, there should have been no enhancement.
