Romney's "Record of Success" at Bain Captial

THE RUDE PUNDIT​

Describing his successful business career at Bain & Company and Bain Capital last night after winning who the **heck** cares which primaries, Mitt Romney said, "I became successful by helping start a business that grew from 10 people to hundreds of people." That was actually Bain Capital, which he founded with other rich ****faces. After once again listing the few companies we've heard of that were successes once Bain came in, Romney continued, "I’d tell you that not every business made it and there were good days and bad days, but every day was a lesson."

"Huh," the Rude Pundit thought. "I wonder which day or which business he was talking about." Was it Georgetown Steel in South Carolina, which was gutted by Bain once it took over, with managers "replaced by people who knew nothing of steel," with equipment upgrades avoided, with union benefits cut, which was fine for making the quick buck Bain wanted it to make so it could look better on paper and be sold, but not so good for making, you know, steel products, and Georgetown was driven into bankruptcy.

Or was it a bad day when a Bain-run corporation bought a paper plant in Marion, Indiana, in 1994 and immediately fired everyone who worked there and forced them to reapply for their jobs "at lower wages and a 50 percent cut in health-care benefits"? When the workers striked, Bain closed it down and shipped the jobs to Mexico. Was that a bad day or a good day? It's hard to tell. Probably both, depending on where your paycheck was at the end of it.

Was it a bad day when Bain's management, specifically Romney's, created the financial situation that forced a Kansas City steel mill to close after 100 years in business, with 750 people losing their jobs and the pension fund shorted by $44 million? Or maybe ask the 1700 workers laid off from Dade International in Illinois after Bain took over?

The thing that President Obama needs to keep in mind about Mitt Romney is that he is a ruthless, amoral son of a **bleep. Like Bain Capital, he makes promises that are lies when they get in the way of his greater good or his bottom line. With his polished smile and primped hair, Romney is one of the most outright depraved and evil sociopaths ever to run for office, and that's including Richard Nixon and Pat Robertson.

Beware the man who presents himself as honorable when his actions have demonstrated nothing but disgrace.

Thank you Rude Pundit for always telling it like it is.

 

Romney thinks that parents should bankroll their kids businesses. OK, you fund their education(s), pay for their health coverage(s), save for your own retirement, AND then finance your kid(s) business(es). Could this idiot be more out of touch? I make enough money to be comfortable and I can't do all those things. Who is he talking to? What an IDIOT!

WESTERVILLE, Ohio -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney offered a group of college students this advice on Friday: If you want to start a business, borrow money from your parents.
Romney, a wealthy former investment banker who has struggled to soften his image as a member of America's super elite, was discussing ways of achieving the American dream at Otterbein University. He said, "We've always encouraged young people: Take a shot, go for it. Take a risk. Get the education. Borrow money if you have to from your parents. Start a business."
The presumptive GOP nominee focused his remarks to students in this important swing state on trying to show a more personal side. He talked at length about his work at Bain Capital on investment projects that fostered the creation of the Staples office-supply chain and other businesses. He also mentioned political supporter Jimmy John Liautaud, founder of the pizza business that bears his name, as an example of the American dream.
"He graduated from high school and he didn't want to go to college," Romney said. "And he said to his dad, 'Can I borrow some money? I want to start a business.' His dad said, 'You know what? I just don't think you've got the discipline to start a business and make it work.' And he said, 'I'll loan you the money, but if you can't pay it back, with interest, by the end of the year, I want you to go into the military, and sign up.' And he said, 'OK, I'll do that.'"
Today, Romney said, "He's got shops all over the country and thousands of people that work with him."

 

Ahhhh! The great flip-flipper in chief does it again...

Romney says he would have ordered bin Laden killed

"Look, just a few years ago, President Obama — then a candidate — said in a speech that if we had actionable intelligence of a high-value target in Pakistan, we'd go in and get that high value target," Gibbs said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Mitt Romney said that was foolish. He wouldn't do such a thing. That he wouldn't move heaven and earth to get Osama bin Laden."

Now he says of course he would have made the call to kill Bin Laden. It's just getting sad now!

 

This is the best the republicans can summon for a presidential candidate? This guy has flipped (on the issues) more than every pancake ever made. Maple syrup anyone?

His idea of a successful business is one that preys on smaller businesses. His business strategy is to plunder other businesses of their assets and then leave them to rot. His business model is to legally strip other businesses of their cash. That might be legal, but does anyone here think that is ethical in any way? By rights, he should be in prison... and not on a campaign for the presidency.

That's a real "winner" you righties have trotted out. Are you people trying to make Obama look like a saint? ...'cause, compared with Romney's bs, it's working lol

 

If you've ever watch the movie "Wall Street", it's not like Gordon Gekko was the good guy.

Well unless you're a Republican. Then he was Jesus frinkin' Christ.
