On-Topic BOSTON GLOBE: Mitt Romney Left Bain Capital Three Years After He Said He Did

[chrisrobin]

The lies in politics will never stop until truth in advertising can be applied to campaign ads.

Last election time here in Oregon, we checked out every ad aired between two candidates, and of the eight different ads, only one had its facts straight... turned out to be done by a group of Quakers.

Maybe we should put Quakers in charge of campaign ads.

Richard (I am not a crook) Nixon was a Quaker.

The right wingers here are getting pretty desperate. It's been proven true. He left three years later then he did. One can twist and distort all they want, but it appears Romney could (or at least should) be in some legal trouble.



That's a bad statement to make... because McCain went and won the nomination and beat Romney. What does Obama have to be desperate about? LOL.

Uh, no. Its actually been proven to be false by non-partisan analysts. These same people also ripped to shreds the president's claims that Romney outsourced jobs.

If he was dishonest and lied then the US Justice Department should file charges against him --- pronto.

Why aren't they? It's just more political posturing by the MSM who supports Obama.

The Boston Globe is saying "look at this shiny thing we have here" so the American public will not focus on the economy and the lack of jobs.

Not necessarily -- it depends on who he's lying to. If he actually lied to the SEC, he's in deep. If he's just lying to the American public... same-o, same-o.

Or its neither, as has been proven.

It was supposed to be a joke. Please refer to one of the frequent Republicon "debates." The $10,000 challenge was Romney's directed at Governor Rick Perry.

I remember it well

along with Perry's inability to remember departments he wanted to close down

you're funny - i got it - i laugh

This narrative by Obama has morphed from disingenuous and misleading to blatant lying

and I'd like you to address that

 

[Kulindahr]

Cute.

it depends on how you define "leave"

Cuter?

Me too. Better yet, let's watch or listen to former Gov. Romney tonight. He's going to be on the three big networks. He's got some 'splainin to do.

Have you ever seen the infamous Nixon "I am not a crook" speech? ...something about a third-rate burglary.

 

[White Eagle]

Do you suppose that he is trying to hide his involvement with a company that throws out fetuses?

Sorry, Mitt Romney, You Can't Be Chairman, CEO, And President Of A Company And Not Be Responsible For What It Does...

--snip--

And one of the things that Bain did after early 1999, as Dan Primack of Fortune points out, is invest in a company called Stericycle whose services included the disposal of aborted fetuses.

For obvious reasons, an investment in a company that performed this service might hurt Romney's standing with the right-to-life voters in the Republican party, even though Romney was pro-choice at the time the investment was made.

Given what's transpired in this case it's more about the bereft of character Pres. Obama that should be "splaining"

his latest "splain" is that he's doing a really good job but he's not splaining it properly - i will start a thread so u can see all the jubilee

You may have something here. Why don't you call the three networks and share your idea.

More jack off material for the libs.

If it's true --- prove it.

Well I hope it was a good one. Find something where we can wank together.

What is left to explain. SEC documents indicate Romney was the Chair.

So either he was and he lied OR he wasn't and illegally filed SEC documents. A felony offense BTW.

Chance you know that show you told me was top notch and has repubs and libs having a serious non-angry conversation? You know "Morning Joe" on MSNBC? The Republican on there Joe Scarborough said today he was easily able to knock down ignorant and petty arguments developed for political reason by the Obama campaign. He said there is nothing anyone can do to change this.

The SEC filing is an official document and there are HOURS of footage where Romney debates people or answers interviews and claims he left in 1998 or 99. So this won't go away till someone falls on their sword for Romney. Which a President can get because they can pardon them BUT Romney doesnt have the greatest chances to be President right now so who is gonna fall on their sword?

Someone is going to be prosecuted OR Romney is going to retract what he has said for years making him a liar forever. One of the two.

Regardless of how you feel about Obama and his administration this issue does not go away for Romney.

And Rome burns

While Pres. Obama dawdles

 

[White Eagle]

what's wrong with disposing of medical waste?

I don't see anything wrong with it. But the Right to Lifers will look way down on it. Romney don't want to be seen as a Choicer.

What if your mother decided to treat your body as "disposal waste"?
