Yeah - in China and India.

Link, newby?Get your facts strait. First, Bain Capital has saved hundreds of thousands of jobs. How many companies like AMC Entertainment, Benntag, Burlington Coat, Toys R Us, Dunkin Brand, HD supply and Outback would have survived without the money Bain invested into those companies. They did not break up those companies, they changed leadership in those companies and bring them back to life. No other candidate in the history of presidential politics has created more jobs.
Link?Romney did an excellent job at Bain. 70% of the companies taken over went on to grow and become successful.
Sure they can. But the American people do not like every type of capitalism. Buying distressed companies, firing all the American workers, and sending those jobs to China while collecting big bonuses for doing so is not the capitalism that Americans support.Except of course that Bain Capital is a private investment firm that invests in businesses and creates jobs.

Can you imagine. A PRIVATE firm being able to invest or not invest. Capitalism? What is this world coming to?
You betcha!Perry weighed in on this too and I think it's a mistake for these guys to take this approach. They are supposed to be supporting the free market and they are attacking it at the same time. They are swinging to the left with this argument and it is going to come back and haunt them if they ever want to get back into office after this race.
When I heard his and Newt's comments, I thought I was in the Twilight Zone. I couldn't imagine them positioning themselves to the left of Mitt! It was like they were making Obama campaign spots!!!

That's a small part of the story and it is being made into the entire story. Every business that Bain wound down was dead man walking. Those employees were gone and likely received a far better package under Bain's takeover than would have happened eventually. The proceeds from saving what little could be save then went into creating successful companies with more jobs being created. A story that takes more than a soundbite and a bit more comprehension. The true facts of the matter usually do.

Bain sent them to China and the patient recovered. Meanwhile, Americans were left without jobs.
This attack, like every other attack against Romney, will fall flat. Voters want someone that can beat Obama. Newt is not that guy. He'd make a good cabinet member, or even VEEP....
About HALF the voters want someone who can beat Obama.
That doesn't necessarily mean they want to choose Mitt "I like to be able to fire people" Romney.
If the Republicans don't broach this issue now, Obama will in the fall.
I said back in 2008, you don't win over an electorate afraid of losing their jobs with a guy who made his money by firing people from their jobs. This, along with his crazy religion, makes Romney unelectable, but you clowns keep insisting on nominating him anyway.
Yeah oldstyle I agree. If you are a repub and you don't like what a rePub does either Stfu. Disagreement will not be tolerated. Are you pro-repub or pro-socialism?

It has nothing to do with "disagreement". It's about fairness. Taking something out of context to make it appear damning is sleazy behavior no matter who does it.
I have no problem with Republicans criticising other Republicans. I want someone nominated that can stand up to the heat that Obama, the Progressives and the Main Stream Media are going to come at them with. It's going to be a nasty campaign because this Administration wants nothing to do with running on it's record. The only alternative is to attack the opposition.

I'm curious, Joe. Why would you do the Progressives work by attributing a remark to Romney that was taken TOTALLY out of context? Romney wasn't talking about liking to fire people from their jobs when he made the comment that he like to be able to fire people...he was talking about liking to be able to fire any insurance company that wasn't providing good service. If you don't like Romney...and it's quite obvious that you don't...then rip the man for what he HAS done or said...not some bullshit quote taken out of context to give it a different meaning. That's the kind of silly crap that has made MSNBC a laughingstock. Why would you want to emulate what they do?

One more time, guy, Romney made his fortune firing people, the world is littered with the bodies. So him saying "I like to be able to fire people" is kind of like Michael Jackson saying "I like playing with children". No matter what the context, that's still pretty effed up.
This was his Macaca Moment.
No he didn't, it's simply a lie. A small fraction of their business was in liquidating companies that were failing, a very small part. Something we actually need to take place in the Federal government btw. Most of their business was investing in start ups.

The list goes on and on. Just because you don't have a clue about PE and VC companies doesn't give you the right to smear the good work, the necessary and valuable work that Bain capital and the other 2300 PE/VC firms provide to our economic system. You simply don't have a clue. Just attack him for being a Mormon and leave it at that.
Newt is a piece of shit. He lived off lobbyist money for decades and now has the ego to attack a Republican banker for growing and sometimes downsizing inefficient companies for long term growth.
Newt is nothing but a Govt leach whining that everyone isn't buying his bullshit. Sure he did some good things in the 90s, but then went off the reservation.
He could've been picked for a Cabinet job under Romney, but now he'll just be picking his ass in Jawja the rest of his life.
