Is it true that Mitt Romney closed down his firm, Bain Capital, and flew 30 workers to New York to look for the missing daughter of one of his colleagues?
The fact-finding groups PolitiFact.com, Snopes.com and Truthorfiction.com all rate this as true, and media reports of the day confirm much of the details of the viral email.

Sorry, honey, if everyone knows it IS NOT anonymous.
If it is anonymous, no one would know how to broadcast it.
Really, how many times have you given twelve or more blankets to the rescue mission at winter and no one knows - that is anonymous.
I guess you didn't get the memo: This week's line of attack against Romney is his recent comment about "binders." Get with the program!
There is a special class of sophomoric argument that is usually reserved for the more moronic high school kids to further atheism.
It goes: there cannot be a God, because he’d have to be able to create a stone so heavy he couldn’t lift it himself.
Your “comment” generally falls in the same class of mindlessness.
For your edification I will include the definition of anonymous: N. of unknown authorship or origin N. not named or identified
Having had to hire people, in the olden days and the new days, I just don’t get the logic of the “binder’ attack of 2012.
I have had binders, manilla folders, then the equivalent digitally.
Ok, that has little to do with your reply, just asking.
Getting with the program in 1 2 3 ........now.
Lol. Didn’t hear a word I said, did you? The din in your head drowning out just everything?
Go away. And join your Obama kohorts.
I didn't vote for Mitt during our state's primary (voted Newt) but I sure am voting the party ticket here in a few weeks, and you know, the more I learn from my own research and dig into stories like this, the more I like the guy.
the milk delivery man spilled the beans when he retired.
______________________________________
and didnt know if he was “delivering” to a large government owned VA hospiral or just a private shelter for veterans ???...
Theres a lot of difference between a multiple storied building and a probably 1 or s storied building ...
Why did the man suddenly tell ???
What was the occasion ???
a visit from the minions of the prospective POTUS candidate ???
Isnt the riming of certain events always interesting ???
Was this one of those cases where the milkman broke a promise never to tell ???
We were told earlier that that would make the man a liar...
Oh noez...
Interesting that you think because you can not explain why something can be anonymous when everybody knows, means I support obama, is just odd.
You do realize there is no logic in your assumption, right?
Same here, I also voted for Newt. I really didn't like Romney based on everything I had been reading here. Once he got the nomination, though, I figured there had to be something decent about him based on folks like Coulter backing him so strongly and folks like Jay Sekulow endorsing him way, way back in January. I started doing my own research and have been surprised and very happy at what I was finding.
I'll list some of it for you in a couple of posts with links you can research, if you want. Some really good stuff :-)

Great information in this. Here is the Club for Growth on Romney’s term as Governor regarding his history with cutting size of government, entitlement reform, tax reform.
“On balance, his record comes out more positive than negative, especially when one considers that average spending increased only 2.22% over his four years, well below the population plus inflation benchmark of nearly 3%.”
“Governor Romney receives credit for reducing actual spending unilaterally in Fiscal Year FY2003, even though he entered office halfway into the fiscal year, because of the tremendous spending cuts he forced down the Legislature’s throat in January of 2003. Facing a $650 million deficit he inherited from the previous administration, Romney convinced the unfriendly State Legislature to grant him unilateral power to make budget cuts and unveiled $343 million in cuts to cities, healthcare, and state agencies. This fiscal discipline continued in 2004, in which Romney continued to slash “nearly every part of state government” to close a $3 billion deficit.”
“To his credit, Romney attempted to cut down on government spending by streamlining many duplicative and wasteful elements of Beacon Hill. Some of his more ambitious proposals were rejected by his über-liberal Legislature. These include: his plans to overhaul the wasteful Boston Municipal Court and close underused courthouses; merge the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority with the Highway Department; decentralize management of the University of Massachusetts; streamline the Alcoholic Beverage Control Commission; and phase out the obsolete Worcester State Hospital where employees outnumber patients nearly 3 to 1.”
“Governor Romney successfully consolidated the social service and public health bureaucracy and restructured the Metropolitan District Commission. Romney even eliminated half of the executive branch’s press positions, saving $1.2 million. He also used his emergency fiscal powers to make $425 million worth of cuts in 2006, taking particular aim at local earmarks, instead of allowing the Legislature to dip into the state’s $1.2 billion rainy day fund. While there is no question that Governor Romney’s initial fiscal discipline slacked off in the second half of his term, on balance, he imposed some much-needed fiscal discipline on a very liberal Massachusetts Legislature.”
“Romney fought for legislation that would bring Massachusetts’ welfare system up to date with federal standards by increasing the number of hours each week recipients must work and establishing a five-year limit for receiving benefits. Much to his credit and to the dismay of many Massachusetts liberals, Romney successfully forced Medicaid recipients to make co-payments for some services and successfully pushed for legislative action forcing new state workers to contribute 25% of their health insurance costs, up from 15%. Governor Romney also deserves praise for proposing to revolutionize the Massachusetts state pension system by moving it from a defined benefit system to a defined contribution system.”
“In May of 2004, Mitt Romney proposed cutting the state’s income tax rate from 5.3% to 5.0%—a measure Massachusetts voters had approved in a 2000 referendum, but was blocked by the State Legislature in 2002. The proposed tax cut would have provided $675 million in relief over a year and a half. When the Massachusetts Legislature refused to budge, Romney proposed the same tax cut in 2005 and again in 2006 with no success. Romney was more successful when he took on the State Legislature for imposing a retroactive tax on capital gains earnings. After a bloody fight, Romney succeeded in passing a bill preventing the capital gains tax from being applied retroactively, resulting in a rebate of $275 million for capital gains taxes collected in 2002.”

On gun rights:
Romney endorsed by the NRA. Also backed by GOAL, the Gun Owners Action League in Massachusetts who states:
“During the Romney Administration, no anti-Second Amendment or anti-sportsmen legislation made its way to the Governor’s desk. Governor Romney did sign five pro-Second Amendment/pro-sportsmen bills into law. His administration also worked with Gun Owners’ Action League and the Democratic leadership of the Massachusetts House and Senate to remove any anti-Second Amendment language from the Gang Violence bill passed in 2006. A summary of this legislation follows.”
(The “assault weapons ban” that Romney signed as Governor was actually BACKED by the gun lobby there because it LOOSENED the existing restrictions.)

________________________________________
Part of Romney’s speech at the rally:
“Legislators so energized to protect the newly discovered gay right to marry had no compunction about trammeling the long established, constitutional right of the people to vote.
The issue now before us is not whether same sex couples should marry. The issue before us today is whether 109 legislators will follow the Constitution.
Tomorrow, I will send these 109 a copy of the Constitution and of their oath of office.
And this week, we will file an action before the courts, calling upon the judiciary to protect the constitutional rights of our citizens.
Let us not see this state, which first established constitutional democracy, become the first to abandon it.”

Well, well because you are unable to explain how something can be anonymous when everyone knows about it, you resort to cursing - tsk tsk sonny boy.
And to think you kiss your mother with that mouth.
You’re certifiable.
So is your little coterie of haters.
Now, excuse me - I’m going to make room for you bozos in our tables. Sad as it is.
