Running for office in 1994, Romney called blind trusts "an age old ruse."
There's loser mccain, pushing for Romney.

They played this last night on FOX and lumped into the “negative advertisment” meme they are using against Newt....Thereby justifying Willard’s negative advertising lies.

I hope this is played non stop everywhere in the FL market!
Mitt is such a sleeze! He will not will if he gets the nomination. All of his lying will give the MSM total glee!
I said extra prayers in church today. I even considered (for half a second) filling out the prayer card from the bulletin for Newt to win FL. :)

Fred Thompson: Newt backlash ‘old score-settling’ [VIDEO]

Great add on youtube!
“Romney has long had a close relationship with Goldman Sachs. In 1999 Romney purchased initial IPO shares in Goldman that netted him $1.1 million in profits when he sold them in 2010. And The New York Times recently reported that “many of the assets in Romney’s blind trust” are managed by Goldman.
Today, Goldman is Romney’s largest donor. And nine of Romney’s top 20 campaign contributors are big Wall Street Banks like Goldman. But Goldman leads all Romney contributors, having donated $357,200 to his campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. And six of those nine top contributors received over $161 billion in taxpayer bailouts, reports ProPublica, the independent, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative organization.
Goldman doesn’t contribute directly to candidates like Romney, but does so through its employees.
Romney’s ties to Goldman have already become a campaign issue. During Thursday’s CNN debate, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich stated that Romney profited from millions he invested in a Goldman Sachs fund that relied heavily on investments in the mortgage-backed securities linked to the 2008 implosion on Wall Street. Romney said he personally didn’t direct the investment, which he said was made through his trust.
Still, Romney’s close ties with Goldman will continue to nag his campaign.
ProPublica says that the The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., received over $782 million in emergency lending from the Federal Reserve. On Jan. 17, the investigative site reported that the total of taxpayer bailouts received by Goldman tallied a whopping $10 billion.”

It's a 17 minute interview.
Why would Romney, who is not currently holding a public office, put his investments in a blind trust? It makes no sense.
It's been posted here that it's only a blind trust in a literal sense. His Attorney is the trustee. So the notion Mitt has little say so is laughable. And why? Maybe when is a better question, he's been campaigning for the nomination for a loooooong time.
