Mitt Romney's Bain Capital Exit Date Called Into Question By Filings

First thing first....Kudos to the Huffington Post for one of the greatest headlines of all time!

Secondly....The content of the amazing list of lies by Mitt about his company, should lead to some quality discussion. Apparently he lied to everyone about how long he stayed there, how he outsourced, and even the one 'victory' by bain as a job creator (Staples) doesn't jive with Mitts claim that he was no longer at Bain during that time....

but above all else....

"Bain Fart" is perfect.

This comes on the heels of Willard handlers saying this about Obama... oops he forgot, let the spin and tap dancing begin.

Mittens mentor. And i don't post this as a joke the man lies threw his teeth constantly. Every time he moves his lips hes lying. Now i like mitt at one time, i thought he did a good job with the olympics, when he was the gov. i thought he was an OK guy, he didn't do anything but occupy the office but he wasn't harmful. But now the man has proven to be a real ass, he has Zero, and i mean ZERO integrity. He say anything to anybody to get elected, change his opinion day to day. Hes a coward because if he had any balls he'd say what he really believed and let the chips fall where they may.



Yeah thats the ticket

Even with his warts I'll take Obama and hope his 4 years of experience makes him greater going forward. I don't agree with everything he's done but Romney's distortions and lies frighten me. Even more I shudder to think of who will be in his cabinet which could be worse than Romney himself.

Our tailspin as we have mentioned in another thread goes back to @2000 ... can't blame Obama for that or the current world economic mess. In any case I'll take Obama and hope for the best ...

Gee Romney wasn't running (rescuing) the Salt Lake City Olympics in 200 wow someone should tell the press about this.

Predictable, change the topic commentary.

Were the actual documents linked? should be readily available.

I'm surprised by the one that supposedly claims he owned 100% of Bain Capital -- that doesn't sound right, at any time.

My guess is that there's been some stretching of the truth by the Romney campaign (like the claims re job creation -- which are countering stretching of the truth by the Obama campaign re Romney's alleged job destruction and job offshoring), but that these "revelations" don't really say much that is new.

ummm...didn't the taxpayer bail out Salt Lake City?

Obama campaign: ‘Severe consequences’ if Romney committed felony with Bain lies | The Raw Story

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney may be guilty of federal felony if he lied to the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) about when he ceded control of Bain Capital, President Barack Obama’s campaign suggested on Thursday.

The Boston Globe reported on Thursday that SEC documents showed that Romney continued to serve as Bain’s “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president” until 2002 — even though he has repeatedly claimed that he left the company in 1999.





wow....


to be fair...from the same article:

“The article is not accurate,” Romney press secretary Andrea Saul said on Thursday. “As Bain Capital has said, as Governor Romney has said, and as has been confirmed by independent fact checkers multiple times, Governor Romney left Bain Capital in February of 1999 to run the Olympics and had no input on investments or management of companies after that point.”

And Romney adviser Matt McDonald told Politico that the FactCheck.org analysis had been misunderstood.



I think he should release those financial records...ESPECIALLY the ones from 1999-2002.

This stuff initially surfaced when it was discovered that Willard's name was on the filings after the acquisition of Stericycle, the company that disposed of aborted fetuses....

There will be more to this picture when it is all said and done, one might think that the right would more effectively vette their candidate...
