Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital

[Gary and Alla 3,694]

I think I'll stick with the community organizer thank you very much.

Big surprise.

So here is a challenge for you for the next post you make. Give us reasons to vote FOR Obama, rather than against Romney. Tell us WHY we need Obama for 4 more years.

GO!!!

Because the poor illegal immigrants need a friend in a high office?

You can't "save jobs" if the company is broke. That's what people like you don't understand.

Profits *are* important. Unprofitable businesses eventually go bankrupt and then ALL jobs are lost.

From the article:

By making debt the centerpiece of his campaign, Romney was making a calculated bluff of historic dimensions – placing a massive all-in bet on the rank incompetence of the American press corps. The result has been a brilliant comedy: A man makes a $250 million fortune loading up companies with debt and then extracting million-dollar fees from those same companies, in exchange for the generous service of telling them who needs to be fired in order to finance the debt payments he saddled them with in the first place. That same man then runs for president riding an image of children roasting on flames of debt, choosing as his running mate perhaps the only politician in America more pompous and self-righteous on the subject of the evils of borrowed money than the candidate himself. If Romney pulls off this whopper, you'll have to tip your hat to him: No one in history has ever successfully run for president riding this big of a lie. It's almost enough to make you think he really is qualified for the White House.

Pretty obvious to thinking people. Romney has been good at what he does.

Yup, making himself rich and screwing over other people. Not the type of person that I can trust.

See the democratic national convention for details.

We will see how that works for him. The illegal immigrant ought to put him over the top. D'ya think?

Funny. I've asked people what's so positive about Romney countless times. I've yet to receive a response.

Not a single one.

Other than "he's not Obama", anyway.

He is the opposite of Romney and Ron Paul.

And I am not going to be the one to start, but I am not a Republican anyway. I see that you have not mentioned anything good about Obama either. Hmm

I've mentioned why I'd choose Obama over Romney many times.

This Obama guy, he sure is a good speaker. I listened to his speech the other day and was, like, "Damn! I want to vote for this guy!"

Then I woke up and remembered that he's full of shіt. He always talks a good talk, he just never walks the big walk.

I believe, at the end of the day, they're all full of ####.

I like Obama. I find him easy to relate to. Does he fulfill all of his promises? No. Unfortunately, nobody does. So I can't dislike him for that reason alone. So I have to go on something else and that something else is that Obama's ideal America matches closely with MY ideal America. What he wants for this country, I want for this country. I don't necessarily always agree with the way he goes about it, nor do I always agree with how long it takes to get things done, but I won't put that squarely on his shoulders. Running this country is not a one-man show.

Romney's ideals and Romney's America don't match what I want out of the country I live in. I have seen nothing and heard nothing that convinces me that Romney's way of going about his goals are any better than anything Obama has done to achieve his.

I basically want to live in a country where people take care of themselves, but they also don't disagree with taking care of each other in times of need. I want to live in an America where the middle class doesn't pay more than they should, and where the richer pay as much as they should. I want to live in an America where people do not have to worry about healthcare. I want to live in an America where the government doesn't rule over a woman's body or her healthcare choices. I want to live in an America where two consenting adults can marry each other and have the same benefits other married couples get. I want to live in an America where the "dream" is still attainable and you won't spend the rest of your life in debt to attain it.

Those ideals don't match up with Romney, nor do they match up with most Republicans.

That basically sums up why I'd vote for Obama if I could, and why I support another 4 years out of him.

funny, I don't remember starting a 'why do you like/hate Barack Obama' thread.

This is true. You can, of course, break a company by overloading it with debt for no other reason than to extract the cash. Which is what companies like Bain Capital do.
