More 'Evolving': Obama Won't Return Bain Capital Donations...

Obama's trying to walk one helluva fine line here, saying that private equity is fine but the practices of one guy were not. Holy crap, is he sure he really wants to do this? Especially since so many Dems are cozy with Wall Street contributors?

If only money didn't play such a role in politics. Ah, to dream...

.

Actually no.

What he's saying is that Romney didn't create jobs, quite the opposite.

Ever hear of.... oh, say.... Staples?

Yes, we've all heard of Staples...where you can get an $8 an hour job you can't live off of. Great!

Bain has a history of taking over companies, robbing employees pensions, loading the company up with debt and then cashing out. How about their practice of firing all the employees and then hiring them back with less salary and no benefits? Great company eh?

Why does it have to be a dream?

Because the people who would be responsible for taking money out of politics are the same people who benefit from that money.

You get them to fix that and I'm buying you a beer.

Russ Feingold and John McCain made a good try at it.

Don't forget. You get good healthcare from Staples. Oh wait. Nevermind.

Congress shall make no such laws.

Sorry about yer luck, commie.

You notice, even after you point out that Obama received money from three guys who work at Bain and not Bain itself, Republicans still keep repeating the same tired bullshit?

Well, I'm one of those happy clappy liberals that believes Americans can do anything we put our minds to. If enough of us want to do something about it, something will get done. The real problem is that we, Americans, are too easily distracted by celebrities eating bugs on TV...

90,000 people make their careers at Staples.

Are you saying that they all make $8 an hour with no benefits?

You are about as dumb as swallow.

But ewwwww, eating bugs is so GROSS, ewwwwww, how can you not LOVE that!



Not sure how this can be done. Politicians spending so much of their time in office raising money, making decisions based on who paid them off the most, their sheep defending the money, etc., etc.

Can we do anything we set our minds to? Yeah. But dang, when it comes to cleaning up our politics, I just don't know how we get from here to there.

But to your claim that Romney creating jobs being the 'opposite of true,' are you not a lying asshole?

Sheesh..can't give up the gay life style for a moment..even here.

Why the heck would you want to "swallow" the jiz of a 51 year old, anonymous, internet poster?

Wouldn't you like dinner and a movie first? At least?

In any case..answer's still no..my young gay friend.

Although I support your right to marry.

You are still a flaming faggot.

Sorry about yer luck, commie.

You know what snipper, the only reason you rethugs suppport the idea that "corporations are people to" is that you rethugs absolutely need all the money you can get to spread the message of hate and division that is the Rethug party now. Without the money to buy the bullshit adds that are being run, you rethugs would have nothing to say. No ideas, no solutions, nothing but hate and division.

What a fuked up party you rethugs represent.

But you digress.

Shall Congress make laws limiting the free exercise of speech, or not?

Do you really want to put the New York Times Corporation out of business?

MSNBC?

One day the adults will resume control and we'll have two decent parties. Not good, but at least decent. The loons the GOP will bring it down to the point where the party will need to be repaired. Until then, it will be Rush's lips to this forum.

The country needs two strong parties. We'll get there.

You won't / can't address the facts I present, and you fall back to your normal bucolic wet-dreaming which has never and will never will exist.

Actually no.

What he's saying is that Romney didn't create jobs, quite the opposite..jobs were lost due the the actions of his company. Romney's trying to state that what he learned at Bain should be applied to government.

Which would be disastrous in the minds of some.

Of course..some people think Bush was a good President.

Not to put too fine a point on this, but Romney was working for Bain, not for the companies they invested in. The question is not how the companies that were in trouble when purchased by Bain did, but how did Bain do?

Regarding Bush, he lost sight of what his job was. His job was us, as in U.S., and he thought his job was to grow freedom abroad. A fundamental misunderstanding of mission.

We can all admire his idealism in this and still understand that his goals were inappropriate and unrealistic based on a misunderstanding of the world. It's obvious now that the stone age world view of the Muslim cursed Middle Easterners will not allow democratic rule. Those poor bastards are just plain screwed.

Anyway, Romney knows his stuff and Obama does not. Obama's recent claim that under his guidance our debt has risen more slowly than under any president for 60 years is just plain dishonest and deceiving.

This falls under the general heading of "Stop pissing on my hat. I know it ain't raining."

You're both gay and delusional. Hopefully you're not fat. Because gay, fat and delusional is no way to go through life..
