However, we have identified at least six filings that Romney did sign during this period: a April 13,, 1999 13D filing by Pirod Holdings regarding an investment in Rohn Industries; a Jan. 3, 2000 13D filing by VMM Merger Corp. regarding an investment in VDI MultiMedia; a Feb. 14, 2000 13G filing by Bain Capital Fund IV regarding Wesley Jessen Visioncare; a Feb. 13, 2001 13G filing by Bain Capital Fund VI regarding Integrated Circuit Systems; a Feb. 14, 2001 13G filing by Bain Capital Fund VI regarding ChipPAC; and a November 12, 1999 13G filing (first reported by Mother Jones) by Bain Capital Fund VI regarding Stericycle.That last filing listed concerns Stericycle, the company involved in the trafficking of aborted fetuses. The fact that Romney personally signed the Stericycle documents makes it a bit difficult for Romney to claim that he knew nothing about and had nothing to do with the transaction.
Of course, back then, he was openly supporting a "woman's right to choose." He may not have foreseen that he would now be running for president and forced to claim to be pro-life.
Mr. Romney is, in my opinion, a crook and a liar(a robust term for ‘flip flopper’. And the tabloid journalists at the Washington Post are a pathetic but prominent example of the failure of the American educational system , college journalism ,and ethics courses.
This is the money quote:
‘concluded that much of the language saying Romney was sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president was boilerplate that did not reveal whether he was actually managing Bain at the time. (For instance, there is no standard definition of a chief executive,
I will save and use the above as poor journalism and worse logic.
Mr. Romeny was not having sex with that Bain creature and there is no definition of what ‘is’ is. The Washington Post oozed into truly Clintonesque language and logic.
‘sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president
‘boilerplate’ my jolly ass. He ran the company, period.
