“Reuters reports in Special report: Romneys steel skeleton in the Bain closet that Romneys Bain Capital took a $44 million government bailout in 2002 from the federal U.S. Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp after they determined that Bain had underfunded its steel mills pension by $44 million.”
That’s not exactly what Reuters said. Here’ an exact quote: “What’s more, a federal government insurance agency had to pony up $44 million to bail out the company’s underfunded pension plan.”
Here’s the link:

You’ll note that Reuters only says the fund was underfunded and does not even imply that Bain caused this due to it’s failure to put money in the account. Based upon what Reuters actually said, it is impossible to say whether this was Bain’s fault or was the a condition that existed prior to Bain’s involvement.
Newt is a conservative. Bucked Bush 41 tax hikes; supported a balanced budget ammendment; welfare reform; contract with America. There are some noted shady dealings involved with Bain. Taken to court and Bain lost. Newt and all of his supporters are for free enterprise but never doubt there is corruption and the voters have a right to know about it and decide for themselves.
You seem to promote censorship? trying to silence the media in favor of whomever your candidate is? where were people like you when MITT bashed Newt for being a PRIVATE CONSULTANT working for a living honestly? lies and smears? okay if its from Mitt? socilized medicine in Mass...thanks to MITT. We are not giving RomObama a free pass despite what the msm, Rove, Coulter and folks like you say...GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT
I stand with Rush Limbaugh, 100%. We and millions of other American voters of all political stripes will do all that is within the law to see that Barack Hussein Obama is defeated and the Democrat Party destroyed politically in 2012!!! And.....I really do not care who our nominee is, as long as he is not Barack Hussein Muslim Brotherhood, Hate America Obama!!! Mitt Romney will do just fine for me, and....it seems that Mr. Limbaugh is of one and the same mind!!!
****
Go ahead. Stand by Mitt. And watch as the Dems come out with this SAME news in the fall. They will rip him to shreds.
And Rush knows this. He’s seen it before. Don’t tell me all these GOP establishment fakers haven’t seen it either.
Hannity, Rush, even Levin tonight was only offering a half hearted defense of Newt ...
Seems Newt has opened up a can of worms on all these hypocrites ... good thing!!
Wow, when Rush joins the choir singing the mittens coronation song, I’m done. I WILL not vote for Mittens under any circumstances.
I am very disheartened at these so-called non-mainstream conservatives paving the way for a complete j@ck@ss like Mittens.
If mittens is annointed by rove and friends. I’m staying home. I guess I can put my baseball cap on backwards and play Call of Duty.
Trumped by Bobo being UNREELECTABLE. No-Path-To-Victory. Which is why Perry didn't get out, why Gingrich is fighting so hard to get back in the race, and Palin really, really screwed the pooch by not getting in.
The GOP primaries are the Super Bowl this year. Whoever whenever ballots up 1144 delegates, it's over. And if it happens to be Mittens, Bain Capital will be smaller than Whitewater in the rear-view mirror once it's over. Same applies to Forstmann Little if it's Gingrich.
>> They do not understand Capitalism.
Really?
Trading shares is not the embodiment of Capitalism — that activity depends on Capitalism. Capitalism can exist without a public shares market, but not vice versa.
There’s this naive perception that one cannot be a Capitalist unless the practice of value manipulation is accepted as being a good thing.
Your adultery analogy is perfect for this issue. I was contemplating the same prior to reading your post of which is pretty much on target.
Rush (and all conservatives defending Willard for that matter) = blowhard useful idiot at best, and deliberately in the tank for Romney at worst.
Capitalism is a means of creating wealth. One does not necessarily attack capitalism by attacking abuses. Some capitalists are crooks, others are immoral persons. Others are honest,are noble,or saintly. saints. But men of all these differing characters have been successful in business. Ditto those who have failed. Socialism wrong says that they are all thieves, because socialism thinks that all property is theft, to quote Proudhon. Newt is saying that Mitt presents himself as a white knight, and he is saying that the armor is tarnished.
I respect your opinion, but disagree. I am no fan of Mitt Romney!!! But.....IMHO, Newt has done himself in!!! Whenever emotion, hate or envy rules, that’s when trouble begins. An old boss once told, me, “young man never pull out your gun unless you intend to fire to kill and......be 100% you are right, then fire”!!! Newt is not POTUS material and....he has proved it time and time again with his act with Nancy Pelosi, the NY Congresswoman, Global Warming, the individual mandate, etc. Mr. Gingrich is far from the “man for all seasons, IMHO!!!
However, if you and others choose to support him, that is your right and your business, I will not!!! I want one thing and one thing only, and that is to defeat POTUS Barack Hussein “Muslim Bortherhood” Obama!!!
