The problem with this whole thing is the right wing just doesn't care what Mitt has done in his past. Their hatred for Obama is so strong, they'd give the presidency to Manson if they could.

And in the last election Manson would have been given the nod by the left as long as he had a D next to his name. Anyone was better than another repub in office. So what's your point?

I have a hard time figuring it out, and the Romney campaign sure isn't being forthcoming. Since he earned a salary as an executive with Bain Capital in 2001 and 2002, it hardly looks like he no longer worked for them.

Romney's statement "In Romney’s 2002 race for governor, he testified before the state Ballot Law Commission that his separation from Bain in 1999 had been a “leave of absence” and not a final departure" might be an explanation. In that case, he would have earned a salary for essentially being on the books as an officer while doing nothing. That sure won't help fight the image of a fat-cat plutocrat who earned fat checks while the workers got canned. But note that a Romney campaign official claimed that "Romney’s signature on some documents after his exit does not indicate active involvement in the firm. " Um, good luck with that one, fella. If he was empowered to enter into legal decisions on the firm's behalf, he's VERY involved.

I have no clue why he would claim to have left Bain's employment while SEC filings and his signature as a Bain officer proved otherwise. Dumbass.

I'm glad that we agree BushII was a disastrous tragedy for the USA. I guess the lesson is not to elect another Right wing walking disaster, who this election year is called Romney. .

If, following the unlikely event of a Mittens victory, Romney lives up to my expectations about him, BushII will have some extra competition for the title of the worst President ever.

"Government documents filed by Mitt Romney and Bain Capital say Romney remained chief executive and chairman of the firm three years beyond the date he said he ceded control, even creating five new investment partnerships during that time.

Romney has said he left Bain in 1999 to lead the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, ending his role in the company. But public Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed later by Bain Capital state he remained the firm’s “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president.”

Also, a Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002. And Romney’s state financial disclosure forms indicate he earned at least $100,000 as a Bain “executive” in 2001 and 2002, separate from investment earnings.

The timing of Romney’s departure from Bain is a key point of contention because he has said his resignation in February 1999 meant he was not responsible for Bain Capital companies that went bankrupt or laid off workers after that date."

I don't own a business, but I sure do care.

I care that the jobs lost were good paying jobs and the jobs Willard created, through Domino's Pizza, Staples, etc., are mostly minimum wage jobs.

I care that Willard has been claiming no responsibility in a company for which he was signing SEC documents and earning a pay check.

And I care that in 1998, long before Willard supposed left Bain, he invested in a company in China that relied solely on the outsourcing of jobs from the US.

I care because eliminating good paying jobs and replacing them with minimum wage jobs does not exactly make one a "job creator" in my book.

I care because by saying he had no involvement in Bain while we have his for those same years on SEC makes Willard a liar at the least, possibly a felon.

I care because what happened in 1998 does show Willard to be the pioneer in outsourcing and I really don't want the next president to be the "out sourcer in chief". Willard can not claim "I had no involvement in that" on this one.

Not at all.  Leveraging the shit out of companies and dropping them in it, and cutting the shit out of them instead of building them and all the while saying what a great builder he was is the fucking issue.  I deal in a mans word to the tune of  ....lol, never mind.... a year, so greasy fucking shiteating dishonesty is a big dirty gamboo in my book. 

Goddammit, if he said look, I made millions and fucked all sorts of people to get it, and will do the same with you, I would admire that,  but he didnt.
