Romney's Bain Lie

[Dante]

yeah Romney went on 5 networks to whine!!!


Mitt Romney’s campaign asked for a correction on Thursday’s Globe story, but did not dispute any facts in the article (file/The Boston Globe)

Obama campaign accuses Mitt Romney of lying about Bain tenure - The Boston Globe

 

[GoneBezerk]

Romney's "retirement" package from Bain lists the date he left to run the Olympics.

So Democraps tried to prevent Romney from claiming being a citizen of MA when he returned after running the Olympics, but now Democraps are claiming Romney was really running Bain when he was running the Olympics.

You ******* scumbags can't even get your lies together.

 

[Lakhota]

Flail away libs !
No one cares but you assholes that are voting for Obama anyway.

No one cares but you assholes that are voting for Romney anyway.

See how that works...

 

[hortysir]

Dumbfuck, they kept Romney's name on documents per SEC rules since they weren't able to get his replacement on the books.

You do realize Democraps in MA tried to prove Romney didn't live in MA and didn't work in MA for 3 or so years during the Olympics, so that he couldn't run for office in MA.

Now you ******* idiots are now claiming he was working for Bain when he was living in Utah and working for the US Olympics. You are ******* insane.

Mitt Romney stayed at Bain three years longer than he claimed: As we’ve previously noted, Mitt Romney twice told the Government Ethics Office that he left Bain Capital in February 1999, but there has been plenty of evidence suggesting otherwise. When he left Bain is a critical question, both because a different date than the one he claimed could mean he lied on official forms, and also because Romney has used the early departure date to insulate himself from attacks on Bain’s practices during the early 2000s.

But the Boston Globe reports today that Romney stayed on a full three years longer at Bain than he has claimed. Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed the in the years after 1999 list Romney as the “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president” of Bain. And a Massachusetts financial disclosure form Romney filed in 2003 states that he still owned 100 percent of Bain Capital in 2002.

[Jerikus]

As David reported on July 2, a press release issued on Bain's behalf in 1999 describes Romney as the CEO of Bain and says he's on a "a part-time leave of absence to head the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee."
...
Romney told the Globe in 1999 that he would "stay on as a part-timer with Bain, providing input on investment and key personnel decisions." As Slate's Dave Weigel points out, this article was cited in an email the Romney campaign sent out to rebut claims that Romney remained involved with Bain after 1999.

This is proof of something?



No one knowing at the time that Romney's 1999 leave from Bain would wind up being permanent doesn't mean anything.

News reports from during Romney's 2002 run for governor refer to his affiliation with Bain during the 1999-2002 period as a "leave of absence," not a full departure. As Politicker reported Friday, Romney retained a "very active role" with Bain during a previous leave of absence, when he ran for Senate in 1994.

I love lieberal logic, if he was active with Bain during his '94 leave then gosh darn it he must've been active with them during his '99 leave as well. It's not like he was involved in an insanely large time consuming project during his last leave or something, he must be lying!

 

[GoneBezerk]

This entire story shows what scum liberals are and how they are dangerous to this country and this planet.

First, they tried to prevent Romney from being able to serve in MA when he returned because he was serving the nation in charge of the Olympic games. Now, they've twisted that story into Romney really lied about not working at Bain.

These scumbags also tried to prevent John McCain from being on the POTUS ballot because he was born in Panama as the son of a military man. So the sons and daughters of US servicemen born in another country shouldn't be able to run for office if they are a Republican.

These scumbags need to be kicked out of this country.

I am sorry, I surrender to approx. 30 pages of posts, so, if this was posted, ignorance is not an excuse, so, my bad.



CNN reported last night that the accusations from Team Obama of felonious conduct are sheer nonsense and lies — and got that message from four executives at Bain, two of whom are “active” supporters of Barack Obama. John King spoke to all four, three of whom are Democrats, and all four said that Mitt Romney left Bain in a big hurry in 1999 in order to work full time on rescuing the Salt Lake City Olympics. The rushed departure created a lot of paperwork headaches as Bain tried to unwind Romney from leadership, which required a significant amount of time. That’s why the company had Romney’s name on their SEC paperwork the next two years, as King reports:

It matters not, the OWS crowd thinks they smell blood.

You'd think they'd recognize the odor of shit, as much of it as they fling...

You ******* scumbags can't even get your lies together.

All this could be cleared up if he released his tax returns and Bain released its corporate minutes. It's hard to believe that corporate minutes from 12 years ago really have any confidential information in them.

If there was confusion about Romney's residency in 2002, it was because he was considering running from Utah to expand his political career. Then he realized that would be like buying a big neon sign that read "MORMON" if he ran from Utah.

 

[Quantum Windbag]

The Globe story just came out today.

Fackcheck will have to change their tune.

The Globe story came out on 31 Oct 2002, which was 10 years ago, want to try again?

And then came out again Thursday with what they didn't have on Rmoney 10 years ago.

Catch yourself up here, it's a good read.

Read it, and listened to sane people on CNN totally debunk the whole story. Believing this makes you a birther.

[Quantum Windbag]

Factcheck.org must be telling the truth, because they also say Clinton balanced the budget THREE years in a row.

Why don't you point out exactly what they got wrong?

What exactly did the Boston Globe story get wrong? Was Romney identified as the CEO and single owner of Bain placed on SEC filings from 1999 to 2002? Were five different corporations set up, that were owned by Bain, which had Mitt's signature?

Just about everything. This is as stupid as saying Obama was born in Kenya.

 

[GoneBezerk]

The media digs up this bullshit story and they dug up Buuuuuuuuuush's DUI, but they can't seem to find Bill Ayers, Obamination's cocaine buddies, etc......

Of course, the "Fairness Doctrine" needs to make sure FOXNews and talk radio like Rush shouldn't exist to counter the left-wing bogus media that is the Nazi PR machine for the Democraps.

Why do you have such a hard-on for private information, while for 3 1/2 years now there's no sign of Obama's college transcripts?

Tit-for-Tat.

Deal with it.

 

[JoeB131]

I find this whole thing amusing.

It's kind of like Romney is claiming that he left Bain before they went all crazy and started offshoring and shutting down companies...

Like he had nothing to do with the corporate culture that had been established up until that point, much less the point he was "officially" out of the company.

And this is the real problem with Romney. He only wants to talk about the good stuff. Talk about Bain. Don't talk about Massachusetts. Talk about Staples, not AmPad.

Romney's "Bane" experienice is like John Kerry's Swiftboat thing. The official story looks nice, but the nitty gritty is kind of ugly.

 

[JoeB131]

No, just annoyed me with their profound stupidity and generall douchebaggery....

The very fact we let this destructive and evil cult have so much wealth and power is kind of sad. No other country would tolerate it.

Perry Joins Rivals in Attacking Romney on Bain​

Mitt Romney‘s Bain Capital “looted” a company in Gaffney, S.C., and got “rich off failures and sticking it to someone else,” Gov. Rick Perry of Texas charged this morning as he began a swing through South Carolina.

Signaling that he will join Newt Gingrich and other Republican presidential rivals in sharply criticizing Mr. Romney’s earlier career as a corporate takeover artist, Mr. Perry mocked Mr. Romney’s recent statement that there were times he had worried about losing his job, pointing out that Mr. Romney had grown up wealthy and privileged.

“I mean, he actually said this,” Mr. Perry told more than 100 diners at a breakfast gathering here.

In recent days, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Gov. Rick Perry have been sharply criticizing Romney's actions while heading Bain Capital, a private equity firm that bought and sold companies to turn a profit. In many cases, workers lost jobs after Bain purchased their companies.

In the days leading up to the Jan. 21 GOP primary in South Carolina, Perry has been describing Romney as a "vulture capitalist." In a state where unemployment has exceeded 9 percent for more than three years, Perry has been calling attention to closed factories, saying Bain cut jobs during Romney's years there.

Tit-for-Tat.

Deal with it.

If Obama were running on the premise he was a totally awesome guy in college, and the smartest guy in class, you might have a point. But he isn't. He's running on his accomplishments as President and Senator.

Romney is running on his accomplishments in Bain Capital. He can run a business, so he can run a government. Okay, I guess. Not that the two things are comparable. Hoover and Bush-43 were good businessmen, but horrible presidents.

If he is offering that as the top thing on his resume (not even talking about his years as a governor, probably his most relevent experience) then we should have some transparency about what he did there, should we not.

It would be like if you applied to a job, and said, "Hey, look at the work I did 10 years ago, but don't talk to any of my co-workers or check out any of my references or examine in any detail what I actually did there. Ignore the fact I haven't done anything in the last six years and the four years before that I don't want to talk about at all."

I think most hiring managers would be suspicious of that.
