If a reporter wants to write a financial hit piece, the least he could do is to provide sources of his article. There is no verifiable proof here, that what is written is true. Most books have footnotes, this article doesnt even have a written reference.

Dave, Soptic is the guy who was featured in an ad that inferred that Romney was responsible for his wifes undiagnosed cancer. It was later disclosed that she had work and insurance for about six years after the mill closed. She was later laid off from her job and then later discovered the cancer. Stephanie Cutter of the Obama campaign LIED about haveing anything to do with the pac ad. A tape of a conference call was released, with cutter and soptic on the line.
But you want us to believe liars that Romney is responsible for the wifes death. Im not even sure that Romney was involved with Bain at the time. These are really old articles. The reserection of Barack Obama isnt possible.

I Do....and I love you.

Actually, Chuck, I think you're probably a good dude. I tend to not convey that sentiment apropriately. Dans and you are easy targets...but undoudtetly good guys.

I'm much nicer in person................

Steven Kaplan, a University of Chicago professor of entrepreneurship and finance, describes Bain's track record under Romney as "fantastic," even if some ventures ended in failure.

"You don't do this by just squeezing out costs. Those kinds of returns only come from growth," he said. "Yes, they had some bad investments, I guess in the same way presidents make some bad calls."



Bain showed a remarkable knack for turning a profit. A prospectus from the year 2000 obtained by the Los Angeles Times shows that the buyout firm delivered an average annual return on investment of 88 percent between its founding in 1984 and the end of 1999.



At its peak in 1970, the Kansas City plant, then owned by Armco Steel Corp, employed 4,500 people. Poor market conditions forced a wave of layoffs in the early 1980s and led the company to prune its product line


GS Industries declared bankruptcy on February 7, 2001, and said it would shut down the Kansas City plant, eliminating 750 jobs.


So 3750 jobs were lost in the 1980's but the 750 jobs lost in 2001 are a huge deal?

Turing a profit is not the same as being a good company especially if part of the profit cripples the business they are preying on.

Any job lost to increase the bottom line so that management can collect bonuses is unconscionable no matter the decade!

They still ran the pension fund into the ground and caused declines in income of the people who worked there, some for life.


Mitt may not be a bad guy, but with his elusive and cryptic financial dealings I do not trust him with our countries finances.

Ahh you got me on a mistake, early in the AM and not enough coffee.

Cute try though...

Fishy

I won't begin to explain my life to you, suffice to say that when I want to hit that early bite I sure can and yes it's great to be retired!

But you won't find me on here all day every day so have at it, got things to do....

Ryan in hot water for photo op at soup kitchen

Ryan and his wife put on aprons and washed several pans that already appeared to be clean, and then were off to the airport

“The photo op they did wasn’t even accurate. He did nothing. He just came in here to get his picture taken at the dining hall.”

Were they homeless people in a soup line working at a solar panel shop?


Fishy

Not at the time.

I'm sure Romney has a plan to put them all to work if we just the the "job creators" another tax break, course there has to be demand before those jobs can be created but he sure does sound good.


Fishy

Course if he was some liberal we would have seen it copied and pasted all over from some old guy with nothing better to do than believe his online persona is an absolute!



Fishy

The only thing that's funny is the amount of time you spend on here with your continuous diatribe and blather.

Most of the rest of us go outside and live life on a daily basis, you seem to live to be on here.

Pretty sad.

Fishy

Typical libby.......Was it AM that said something about the blackest utensil/spoon?

Very sad.

Look at the post count and the amount of time spent on here, that is what is very sad.

Fishy

Not talking about you at all, I was talking about Hank and how he seems to be able to irradiate people all the while blathering this or that on everything GOP.

I have no liberal fanaticism but only try and give another example to the constant diatribe given on here by the Repubs.

And as for being nasty that sure is the kettle calling the pot black. After almost every comment that may not coincide with yours there always seems to be a smarmy little comment, like we can't disagree without the name calling, finger pointing or childish behavior.

I've dealt with enough foolishness today, I'm out.

Fishy

Wrong, I have called for centrist ideals and have been struck down for those as well. I don't follow any one persons posts but I do take a little more effort with Hank as he is a self proclaimed "Irritant"

I could care less if you think I was addressing you, I find most of your posts mundane and snarky with little appeal than to call someone names and to create miasma.

And just because this is the dark side does not mean we should all step into the gutter.
