That's not "capitalism"... That's obscene wealth-creation, and jobs-be-damned.....
Except for the facts that Romney was in charge when trying to save the company, and wasn't in charge when the company went under, that was a pretty good outrage post. Capitalized words and everything! Homeagain would be proud.

And you think the fact that he wasn't "at the helm" after the wheels were already in motion is relevant how?__________________________
That was Bain's M.O., from the start, whether Romney was at the helm at that point in time or not.
Romney is not a "job-creator"...He's a "wealth-creator" (for the partners, himself, and any of his buddy-shareholders)... And the thought of that little two-faced flip-flopping animatronics/robot in the White House scares me to death.

Guess what? All businesses are created to make profits. They aren't created to benefit communities or workers.

Nope, still didn't change how I'm gonna vote. Keep smearin' and spinnin' though, you might be able to change one or two of the weak minded with this kinda ranting and raving.

So, thank you for admitting that Romney is not a "job-creator" but a "wealth-creator"...You make my point. :woo hoo:

And you're not going to change MY vote... And you guys keep pushing that slimey greaseball-with-a-mean-streak...I'm sure you're going to change someone's mind about voting for him.

What makes Romney mean?
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Romeny gives a lot more money to charity than Joe Biden does. Who is more mean? In fact, Romney gives more in a year than Biden has given in a lifetime.

I wouldn't dream of trying to change your vote. I realized a long time ago that if you ever changed your mind about something it appears to cause you physical pain. I'm not that mean.
Just keep attacking. Stay in rant and rave mode. No, really, you don't look silly or anything. You're very convincing.
