Romney's Bain Lie

[Lakhota]

You know...............it's not really an attack if what you say is true, so Mittens needs to sack the **** up and take it like a man.

BTW...............speaking of Mittens bitching this morning about being constantly attacked by Obama, HE's the ****** that's been doing nothing but attacking Obama and not even giving us a hint of what he'd replace Obama's policies with.

Obama campaign blasts Romney New Hampshire ad as 'deceitful, dishonest' - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room

Actually, that particular ad WAS dishonest because it cherry picked the phrase that they are trying to portray as Obama's.

What Obama ACTUALLY said was "John McCain has said that if we keep talking about the economy, were going to lose".

Interestingly enough, McCain kept talking about the economy, and Obama became president.

I still can believe that a so-called religious man approved such a dishonorable campaign ad. Disgusting...

The ownership structure had changed since the inception of the company...

That the structure has changed is not in question. WHats in question is WHEN. The paper trail does not support Romneys version.

There was a tangential discussion going on here...





The paper trail is the SEC filings which list Mitt as owner up to early 2002 which is a matter of public record and which Mitt did not ever "lie" about.


Mitt, as the sole stock holder and CEO in 1999, took an official leave-of-absence and handed over the Chief Executive Officer position to someone else. After the Olympics, he decided to run for Governor and officially retired retroactively to 1999 and began the process of transferring ownership of his holdings, never returning to his CEO position again.

At that time, in 2002 his political opponents posed a charge about some particular Bain decision which occurred while he was away and he claimed those were not his Executive decisions, and they weren't. Mitt won that election after much scrutiny.


Now in 2012 Dems take all this info as he lied, he must be hiding something, yada, yada...

Who did he turn over the CEO position to?

Your post illustrates the problem, Mitt said whatever was politically expedient. He's been denying he had anything to do with Bain after 1999 yet the record does not support this.

 

[candycorn]

Romney could clear this all up simply by releasing his tax records and showing that he received no salary from Bain during those years.

Think how embarassed Obama would be

Nobody ever claimed that he didn't receive any salary from Bain. The claim was that from 1999 to 2002 Romney was not in charge of the day-to-day operations of Bain.

Stop trying to move the ******* goalposts, winger.

So Romney received compensation for doing absolutely nothing...

Gee, if it were a black woman doing that; she'd be a welfare queen according to those who support Governor Romney.

White Obamney adviser Ed Gillespie got hisself on TV, and darned if he didn't completely explain this ******! Turns out, Meat, trying to get elected, to something RETIRED, from Bain Capital, "RETROACTIVELY."

Anybody remember what Archie Bunker used to say, to Mr. Michael Stivic, his daughter Gloria's hubby, played by Rob Reiner? Yeah, yeah, and Archie called his daughter "little girl" and his wife "the dingbat."

Archie: "I'd say that the MEATHEAD got magnesia and forgot where his mouth is."

"Don't talk like an ignarosis."

"After once or twice a thing like this gets vulgarious."

"I told him no. N, O, W, NO!"

"Gonna take all of my thinking and all of my consecration."

"This is only a little mispensation."

"You made a certain referential remark there."

"He was able to keep things in the proper suspective."

"If he don't go calling the cops 'pigs' or one of those other epilets, he'll be alright."

DOINK, dudes:

MEAT +

ED = meat-*******-head, ED!

Just because you keep repeating a claim does not mean the claim is being repeated...



He began the process of transferring ownership of his shares and once the Olympics were over he decided to run for public office while he was in the spotlight. He hid from nothing and he filed the SEC forms entirely properly. In 2002 Mitt did not just say what was "politically expedient", he spoke the facts of the matter as they had occurred at that time. None of this is inconsistent with the truth, ie a LIE, just because most Dems are just now finding out about it...

Mitt Romney-Helmed Olympics Outsourced Uniforms To Burma


Mitt Romney-Helmed Olympics Outsourced Uniforms To Burma


Mitt Romney was noticeably unwilling Friday to engage in a controversy around the manufacturing of U.S. Olympic uniforms in China, despite criticism from Republican and Democratic lawmakers alike.

For the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, who has repeatedly promised on the trail to "get tough" on China, opposing the manufacturing seemed a likely stance, except that while at the helm of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Romney outsourced the production of torchbearer uniforms to Burma.

For Romney, the 2002 Olympics anecdote represents another instance of outsourcing under his stewardship, as President Barack Obama's reelection team continues to assail him for shipping jobs overseas while at private equity firm Bain Capital. It also exposes an embarrassing oversight in allowing the uniforms to be manufactured in Burma, which until just last year was controlled by a brutal military regime.

he wasn't at Bain but that did not keep Mittens from outsourcing the 2002 Olympic uniforms to a military dictatorship in Burma .... good old Mittens - Outsourcing for America, the 2002 Olympics.

So charge him. Otherwise the President and the DOJ are just playing games and going for a smear job.

Hold your President and Holder to a higher standard. Come on Sallow, why waste time playing bullshit on a message board.

Why don't you get out front and make sure Mitt Romney is charged with something, anything?

You beleive he is guilty of a felony. Well hell's bells, don't preach to the other libs on the board that believe the same.

Come on, get out there and demand the President charge Romney with something, anything.

It's called "Chicago Politics". Obama cannot run on his own record, he HAS to smear the opponent, and of course, the media just eats it up.

Romney is as much a felon as Sallow is a chick.

So, Bush was practicing 'Chicago politics' when he swiftboated John Kerry, instead of running on his record?

Can you produce any links making that accusation against Bush, by Rightwingers?

Please give a link to where "Bush"....I said "BUSH" swiftboated Kerry.
Yes, in 2004, Bush could run on his own record, Synth. It wasn't until the dems took the Congress in 2006 where things went downhill for him.

 

[B. Kidd]

Keep it going! Glad they're doubling-down with it. Obie's campaign has spent almost $100 million in attack ads and it has barely moved the polls in his favor.
Chicago thug politics isn't playing too well on the national level.
Is Obama's real estate buddy, Tony Resko, secretly running his campaign from prison?

Sorry but that is false. The SEC filings list Romney as CEO as well. ( I posted a link to those documents earlier in this thread. ) Therefore, the "story" that he handed over the CEO position to someone else is not supported by the paperwork.

 

[LilOlLady]

They suggest that he is a liar. A large one at that.

Comprehension is not your friend, apparently.

Tell me how Romney retires "retroactively". Statements such as this should disqualify him for being an idiot.

Romney knows what is in those documents. He has made the judgement that disclosing them will bring more damage than hiding them.

If he had nothing to hide...............................

Romney; “It depends on what your definition of “CEO” is.”
And "retroactively" means.

Clinton; “It depends on what your definition of “is” is.”

Obama killed Osama Bin Laden, Romney killed jobs.

 

[Vidi]

You know...................after McCain lost in 2008, Mittens KNEW he was going to be one of the candidates.

Why the **** didn't he start to clean things up 4 years ago? He could have whitewashed it good enough to stay under the radar, but, he didn't.

Gonna be great comedy fodder for the next 4 months though. Can't wait to see what Jon Stewart and Colbert have to say about the past 2 weeks on their shows tonight.

He didnt have the forsight to see it being used against him in the next election cycle...even though it was used against him in the past.

Another reason he should NOT be President.

Maybe Bain misrepresented Romney's involvement. Romney should sue them.

 

[GoneBezerk]

It's strange Democrats that work/worked for Obamination said Romney left Bain when he said he left Bain and that he was on the books because of SEC legal matters until his replacement finally got on the books.

Strange....you dumbfucks can't follow along very well.
