Rush’s position on this is looking more and more moronic with each passing day.

Romney left Bain in 1999, but he's technically still on their payroll.

Yes they are. And we are the Goths outside. For now.

It’s called ‘hedging your bets.’

The problem is the donations only seem to be going one way. Maybe they know something we don't.

I might say you’d discovered a pattern. Is Willard at Bain now? Does he have any say in what they do now? I despise Willard - but also think it’s utterly ridiculous to hold him accountable for what Bain does today if he’s not there to say yes or no to what they do.

Error 404 - page not found :(

But, if you're talking about the "bail out" Bain received, I'd like to know (or read) more about that.

[Is Willard at Bain now?]

He STILL earns money from their ventures and always will.

What I find interesting is the contribution pattern in the last election, where Romney and Obama were both in the cycle:

http://influenceexplorer.com/organization/bain-capital/b4c7ee21345c459d9a2b14dec2f52122?cycle=2008

Yes, they contributed more to Romney... but it isn’t an overwhelming slam-dunk for Romney.

This is why I maintain that the GOP is stupid to go so easy on financial firms. The GOP gets little to nothing from them in appreciation, and the GOP gets tarred with the reputation of being in the pockets of Wall Street.... when the DNC is really the one who is in Wall Street’s pocket(s).

The GOP should go after Wall Street with sword and fire in retribution for what they’ve done.

Yeah, they turned 180 just after Romney left and started donating mostly to Democrats of the most liberal ilk. /s

Try this link: http://www.salon.com/topic/bain_capital/

Scroll down, it should be the 2nd article.

It details multiple bail outs Bain received, as well as bail outs Romney procured when he was running the Olympics.

Does your 401k have any I vestments with Bain? Then you are equally to blame for Banis political contributions as Willard is today.

Oh, Willard’s company donates mostly to DemoRATS? Why aren’t I surprised?
