Romney: Outsourcer in Chief....aka...Job Killer.....

[Too Tall]

It seems that the Republican who is running on "jobs, jobs jobs" is actually a job killer for the US.

Here's his record at Bain Capital.................

During Mitt Romney’s time running Bain Capital, the private equity firm invested in companies that were trailblazers in outsourcing jobs from the United States to call centers and factories making computer components in countries such as China and India, according to a report published late Thursday in the Washington Post.

The report could bring renewed examination to Romney’s career at the company he helped found, as well as scrutiny to one of the Republican nominee’s recurring campaign pledges. Throughout his presidential bid, Romney has insisted repeatedly that, as president, he will get tough on China and thwart the burgeoning economic power from siphoning jobs from the U.S. With his experience as a businessman serving as the cornerstone of his campaign, Romney has argued that he will use his professional experience to create jobs in America.

But according to filings with the Securities Exchange Commission unearthed by the Post, Bain’s involvement in outsourcing came at a time when a growing number of American companies were shipping jobs overseas, making Romney’s financial company an early player in the field.

From the Post’s report:

Bain’s foray into outsourcing began in 1993 when the private equity firm took a stake in Corporate Software Inc., or CSI, after helping to finance a $93 million buyout of the firm. CSI, which catered to technology companies like Microsoft, provided a range of services including outsourcing of customer support. Initially, CSI employed U.S. workers to provide these services but by the mid-1990s was setting up call centers outside the country.
Two years after Bain invested in the firm, CSI merged with another enterprise to form a new company called Stream International Inc. Stream immediately became active in the growing field of overseas calls centers. Bain was initially a minority shareholder in Stream and was active in running the company, providing “general executive and management services,” according to SEC filings.

By 1997, Stream was running three tech-support call centers in Europe and was part of a call center joint venture in Japan, an SEC filing shows. “The Company believes that the trend toward outsourcing technical support occurring in the U.S. is also occurring in international markets,” the SEC filing said.

Stream continued to expand its overseas call centers. And Bain’s role also grew with time. It ultimately became the majority shareholder in Stream in 1999 several months after Romney left Bain to run the Salt Lake City Olympics.

And then................there's his record of outsourcing MA jobs to India.

Yeah...............sure....................elect the sellout and watch this country be sold to the highest bidder.

That is ONE company. Got any more?

Well...............unfortunately, they're kinda right, because most people don't really bother enough to find out what the issues are really about.

BTW..........if you have cable and get the Science channel, check out their series called "Brain Games" sometime. One of them talks about perception and how easy it is to alter with a group dynamic.

All the GOP has is people yelling the same shit over and over, not bothering to check out if it's true or not.

One of the biggest lies is that Obama apologized for the United States.

He did no such thing, and I challenge ANY right wing idiot to link to actual proof that he did.

Yes, he did.

Like I said...................got REAL proof, because the Hertiage Foundation (a well known right wing blog and think tank) is about as reliable as FAUX Nooze.

Get me something from a LEGITIMATE news organization, because until then? Consider yourself without proof.

The first quote furnished by the Heritage Foundation is copied from the White House website. I suspect the rest of them are as well.

Now, shoot the messenger pissant!

In recent years we've allowed our Alliance to drift. I know that there have been honest disagreements over policy, but we also know that there's something more that has crept into our relationship. In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world. Instead of celebrating your dynamic union and seeking to partner with you to meet common challenges, there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.

Ah, the Heritage Foundation...yes, that's a terrific source.


:rolleyed:

All the Heritage Foundation did was copy the excerpts from the White House web site pissant. For the terminally illiterate, all of Obama's speeches are available there.

Why is that? Because they put out the truth. It would be a good idea if you started watching something other than MSNBC once in awhile. If you don't it could really get you brainwashed maybe even braindead.

Really? Because of the way that the ObamaCare bill went in the Supreme Court, you do realize that FAUX Nooze said it was defeated for around 1:00 min, and that CNN did it for around 7:00 min, while MSNBC was the only station to get it right?

The Heritage Foundation is legitimate. You just can't handle the truth about your idiot in chief.

Legitimate what? Language mangler?

None of their sourced statements had any apologies in them. In fact..there were no apologies whatsoever..implied or explicit.

This sort of conflation makes you guys look foolish.
