Hello, is that you Howard Dean? James Carville? Elizabeth Edwards? Sounds like it.

Anyway, I don't think Rush needs to look into it. The Romney campaign made it clear that the investments were made by the blind trust:

"Romney, by far the wealthiest of the presidential candidates, placed his assets in a blind trust after he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 2002. He stressed Wednesday that he is in the dark about the trust's holdings.

The trustee of the blind trust has said publicly that he will endeavor to make my investments conform to my positions and I have confidence that he will do that well," Romney told reporters during a campaign stop in Georgia.

The trustee for the Romney assets, R. Bradford Malt, said this week he has managed the blind trust without any direction from Romney. But he said he has tried to sell any stock in companies whose activities conflict with Romney's public stands. To that end, Malt said, he sold shares of stock in French and Italian energy companies that had business ties to Iran."

LOL. Yes it is me, all three of them. I raised a contrary point so I must be dem plant/troll.

Too funny.

Managing a trust since 2002, eh? That means there were investments already in place, right? I’m just asking the simple question, when did the stem cell company stock get purchased? Before or after the trust?

You’d think I accused him of traveling with his pet dog on the roof of his car or something.

You spewed this spin: "The Romney campaign made it clear that the investments were made by the blind trust:"

You try to dissemble and misdirect for your candidate. That's deceit, girl! The stocks were purchased prior to being dumped into a blind trust. Did the Romneys purchase the stocks they subsequently dumped into a blind trust? You are avoiding answering that question and instead you Mittbots try to trick people into thinking he had nothing to do with the stocks in ESC harvesting/sales companies. This is becoming a pattern with Romney political operatives!
