Under Romney, Bain Made Money off of Disposed Fetuses

[OohPooPahDoo]

So what will you hypocrite libroids do with your new-found love of fetuses?

Why do Republicans think that pointing out hypocrisy make someone a hypocrite?

You'll have to ask one... I'm not a republican...

Be that as it may, that doesn't justify your new-found love of fetuses...

Can you explain YOUR hypocrisy of this "caring about fetuses" all of a sudden?

I never said I had a love of fetuses, I never said I cared about fetuses, I never said I didn't care. Is it too much trouble to ask that I be held accountable only to what I've actually said, or will you insist on putting words in my mouth at every juncture possible?

Is blatant mischaracterization of opponent's views the only thing the right wing has left?

This is another Lose/lose more/lose most for Romney.

Either Romney claims he thinks abortion is 1) wrong - or 2) not wrong.

If its 2) he loses his base.

If its 1), then either a) he knew bain was doing it, or b) he didn't.

If its 1a), he's a hypocrite.

If its 1b), then he's a bumbling idiot who can't keep a company he has a major interest in from committing moral wrongs, so how can we trust him with an entire country?


EDIT - There's also 3) don't even address the issue and act like an asshole when a reporter asks about it. That's the worse choice possible

Just like Obama with Operation: Fast & Furious? Obama and Wright? Obama and Ayres? So we hold Obama to the same standard as Romney?

You're not making any sense at all.

Is it too much trouble to ask that I be held accountable only to what I've actually said, or will you insist on putting words in my mouth at every juncture possible?

Is blatant mischaracterization of opponent's views the only thing the right wing has left?

like holding you accountable when you claimed Planned parenthood doesn't make a profit, repeatedly claimed it I should say... then ignored repeated posts showing you they DO make a profit, even though they are classified as non-profit?

Like that, dumb ass?

didn't think you'd have a response, Ooh. Dumb ass.

I don't even like Romney, but I don't see where he broke any laws, so I don't give a fuck about this non-issue...

So you don't care about fetuses, but care about republicans who care about fetuses and somehow think this article proves republicans no longer care about fetuses?

Your handlers must be proud....

Every lib who posted on this thread is a moron.

The point of the piece isn't about disposal. And infanticide fan Obama loses if its a battle of morals.

So before you pretend the others may not have known, it's not our job to make sure you're not stupid.

Soggy brain

... libs have yet to meet a baby they didn't want to suck out the womb and flush down the drain...

Why is it that jackass rw's just have to lie about things they know nothing about.

I hope you never have to experience the horror of losing a child.

I'll take honesty any day.

The rw's whine and whine about fetuses but what they really care about is controlling people. And, kids? Ask any despicable rw, pub, bagger and they'll tell you they are quite happy letting homeless children starve.

Why?

Its always about the control.

So Romney profits from abortion while supposedly being against it. He profits from firing people while supposedly being a job creator. He profits from corporate welfare while trying to be financially responsible. He made and imposed a tax mandate for those who do not have insurance while being against the same mandate.

Yet through none of this his supporters would ever admit he was wrong. It is not surprising, the right wing is not about doing the right thing, it is about allowing their side to do the wrong things.

you wouldn't know honesty if it bit your ass. You think Ooh was being honest when he claimed that Planned Parenthood doesn't make a profit? Do you think he was being honest when he ran away from the thread crying like a butt fucked little bitch when I proved Planned Parenthood DOES make a profit?

Is THAT the kind of honesty you'll take?

Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show | Mother Jones

Earlier this year, Mitt Romney nearly landed in a politically perilous controversy when the Huffington Post reported that in 1999 the GOP presidential candidate had been part of an investment group that invested $75 million in Stericycle, a medical-waste disposal firm that has been attacked by anti-abortion groups for disposing aborted fetuses collected from family planning clinics. Coming during the heat of the GOP primaries, as Romney tried to sell South Carolina Republicans on his pro-life bona fides, the revelation had the potential to damage the candidate's reputation among values voters already suspicious of his shifting position on abortion.

But Bain Capital, the private equity firm Romney founded, tamped down the controversy. The company said Romney left the firm in February 1999 to run the troubled 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and likely had nothing to with the deal. The matter never became a campaign issue. But documents filed by Bain and Stericycle with the Securities and Exchange Commission—and obtained by Mother Jones—list Romney as an active participant in the investment. And this deal helped Stericycle, a company with a poor safety record, grow, while yielding tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners. The documents—one of which was signed by Romney—also contradict the official account of Romney's exit from Bain.

The Stericycle deal—the abortion connection aside—is relevant because of questions regarding the timing of Romney's departure from the private equity firm he founded. Responding to a recent Washington Post story reporting that Bain-acquired companies outsourced jobs, the Romney campaign insisted that Romney exited Bain in February 1999, a month or more before Bain took over two of the companies named in the Post's article. The SEC documents undercut that defense, indicating that Romney still played a role in Bain investments until at least the end of 1999.

Here's what happened with Stericycle. In November 1999, Bain Capital and Madison Dearborn Partners, a Chicago-based private equity firm, filed with the SEC a Schedule 13D, which lists owners of publicly traded companies, noting that they had jointly purchased $75 million worth of shares in Stericycle, a fast-growing player in the medical-waste industry. (That April, Stericycle had announced plans to buy the medical-waste businesses of Browning Ferris Industries and Allied Waste Industries.) The SEC filing lists assorted Bain-related entities that were part of the deal, including Bain Capital (BCI), Bain Capital Partners VI (BCP VI), Sankaty High Yield Asset Investors (a Bermuda-based Bain affiliate), and Brookside Capital Investors (a Bain offshoot). And it notes that Romney was the "sole shareholder, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of BCI, BCP VI Inc., Brookside Inc. and Sankaty Ltd."
