Thanks to Ernest for the information on Mitt Romney and Bain Capital. I presume that’s where he made his millions...My husband and I were wondering how he had become so rich.

This from Democracy Now:

“During his campaign, Republican candidate Mitt Romney has preached the message of economic populism by vowing to fight to keep jobs in America. We take a look at Romney’s days heading up the buyout firm Bain Capital with Los Angeles Times reporter, Bob Drogin. He writes, “From 1984 until 1999, Romney led Bain capital, a Boston-based private equity group that earned jaw-dropping profits through leveraged buyouts, debt hedge funds, offshore tax havens and other financial strategies. In some cases, Romney’s team closed U.S. factories, causing hundreds of layoffs, or pocketed huge fees shortly before companies collapsed.”

The full interview of Bob Drogin is available at

Romney is good for the Dems but.....

Romney is good for the Democrats but Pelosi, Hoyer, Clinton, Feinstein, and every Dem who voted for the illegal war in Iraq, it’s continued funding, the Patriot Act, the Commissions Act, and illegal wiretapping are bad for the future of our country.
That’s not a liberal statement just common sense.
