It does not matter what Romney did so many years back it what he can do for us now that matters.

35 Questions Mitt Romney Must Answer About Bain Capital Before The Issue Can Go Away - Forbes (http://www.forbes.com/sites/tjwalker/2012/07/14/35-questions-mitt-romney-must-answer-about-bain-capital-before-the-issue-can-go-away/)

Unfortunately for the Romney Campaign, the slew of TV interviews did little to satisfy the media. In times of crisis, a strong candidate will come up with answers that satisfy the basic questions surrounding the controversy and will make people want to move on to another subject. Romney, however, could not seem to come up with basic messages that resolved the controversies. Many of his answers seemed evasive or overly legalistic. The biggest problem for Romney is that all of his interviews have only increased the questions that political observers, voters and the media have regarding the subject of Bain Capital.
Specifically, Romney is going to have to answer the following 35 questions before this issue subsides:

Why aswer the questions when fact check can answer the question?

All these questions have been answered in the WaPo link and FD's Politifact link. The Dems in MA tried the lame Bain attacks when Romney was vetted for Gov. Shall we revisit Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, etc.

We in Va are seeing a large number of these ads because we are a swing state and they are not going away.

Speaking of Obama. My daughter lost her first tooth while eating chunky strawberry Ice Cream. Figured she swallowed it so my wife wanting it for a scrap book has been going through her crap.

Help me understand all this stuff you keep posting...am I to understand that:


It is possible for someone to be 100% owner, chariman of the board, CEO and president and not be responsible for their company's actions but it is possible to build a company all on your own and take 100% responsibility for all of its success.

Man, she's pretty and smart which makes for a pretty deadly attack dog...scary.

Dem aide on Bain: If Romney wasn't in charge, who was? - CBS News (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-3460_162-57472580/dem-aide-on-bain-if-romney-wasnt-in-charge-who-was/?tag=showDoorLeadStoriesAreaMain;ftnLeadHero)


She clowned that guy...lol Romney better get on the phone and hire that woman ASAP.


I'll say this about the whole "Bain Captial" thing. Romney can't have it both ways, he can't claim to be in charge of Bain during the good years, and not in charge when they ship jobs overseas and other businesses go bankrupt. You can't have you cake and eat it to.

Fact of the matter is, if your name is on that SEC document saying you are in charge, you are in charge and are responsible whether you are making decisions or not. It's like she said, either you are lying to the American people or you are lying to the SEC.

I personally believe he was lying to the SEC. Was he running the ship during those 3 years? Most likely not, but had his company been a beacon of light during those years he's claiming to be absent, you can rest assure he would be saying he was in charge.

Sammy just answer one,

If it wasn't Mitt at the helm,who was it and why did Mitt sign the papers?Read the links FD and I posted, all the answers are there. If this is all the Ds have.....saden needs to get his checkbook out.

Since FD & I have answered questions (quite effectively), how about someone answer a question for me:

- What exactly was Obama's role in approving the Solyndra loan when their financial model was $hit and they had a failed IPO? $ 535M in TAXPAYER money stolen from the American people by Obama and his cronies. While you guys are trying to tie Romney to Bain (private corporation) to say he outsourced some jobs, you're OK with Obama funneling hundreds of millions to crooks that steal taxpayer money and cost over 1000 jobs.

Solyndra e-mails show Obama fundraiser discussed effort to win White House help - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/solyndra-e-mails-show-obama-fundraiser-discussed-lobbying-white-house/2011/11/09/gIQAqPsq5M_story.html)

Obama Fundraiser Pushed Solyndra Deal From Inside - ABC News (http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/obama-fundraiser-pushed-solyndra-deal-inside/story?id=14691618)

and Solyndra is just the tip of the iceberg:
Forget Bain — Obama’s public-equity record is the real scandal - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/forget-bain-obamas-public-equity-record-is-the-real-scandal/2012/05/24/gJQAXnXCnU_story.html)

from the above link: All that cronyism and corruption is catching up with the administration. According to Politico (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1111/67444.html), “The Energy Department’s inspector general has launched more than 100 criminal investigations” related to the department’s green-energy programs.

Answers?

and so NC Skins, 12th, and saden can't complain about "partisan" links....the links are from left-leaning media outlets.
