So YOU like Romney because he is a partner with Soros
in JET Blue.
Yup.

And that he screwed company after company through
VULTURE CORPORATISM.
Yup. That should work this year. /s

Office Depot is the result of vulture capitalism? That term was coined by Newt Gingrich, you know, the one who sat on a couch with Nancy Pelosi and has never run a business in his life....

With respect to Jet Blue...if you have a 401k and invest in mid cap stocks, chances are you are investing in a company that Soros, Romney, or CALPERS (Californian’s unionized state employees) invests in. Businesses don’t discriminate when it comes to borrowing money to grow the entity...as it should be....

So Romney lent money to someone who started a successful business with it, and this somehow makes him a genius qualified to be president? No, it makes him a rich boy who used money to make money. He's not a complete idiot, but with the kind of money he had access to, you only need to be of average intelligence at best to profit off of it. Besides there were a tiny handful of companies Bain actually was involved in starting. Almost all of their work was taking failing businesses, getting the owners to sign contracts under duress that put almost no risk on Bain, and to rig up the financial mechanisms so that even if the businesses went bankrupt, which they did a huge amount of times, Bain would still profit. Bain is the story of how big money privatizes the gains and socializes the losses. It's crony capitalism and corporatism at its finest, run by the kind of heartless vultures that give capitalism a bad name.
