Rep. James Clyburn (D., S.C.) described Mitt Romney and Bain Capital’s record as one of “raping companies” in a Tuesday interview with MSNBC.
ANCHOR: But, congressman, what about the counterargument to that? What about the counterargument that these attacks on Bain Capital — many see them as an attack on free enterprise as well.
CLYBURN: This is not an attack on free enterprise. I would say to you, [unclear] free enterprise–I don’t take contributions from payday lenders. I refuse to do that. That’s free enterprise. but there’s something about that enterprise that I have a problem with. And there’s something about raping companies and leaving them in debt and setting up Swiss bank accounts and corporate businesses in the Grand Caymans. I have a serious problem with that.
Despite Clyburn’s remarks, the congressman has previously taken money from private equity giant Blackstone Group. Blackstone announced Tuesday it will buy Motel 6 for $1.9 billion.

No ... not a "hate" crime ...
Rather a crime of Biblical Proportion (King James Version, NOT the Joseph Smith bastardized fiction) ...

I am getting really tired of that 25% of dull, uneducated, ignorant, incompetent "Democratic" members of Congress who not only don't know that they are stupid and ignorant, but also assume that the American electorate as a group are.
You know, those congresscritters with an average IQ of under 80, can't even speak the proper language, and whose grasp of economics hovers between non-existent and deficient?
What makes them think their constituency can understand things any better than they do? What makes them think that the "non-democrat" majority will ever take them seriously?
Ain't egalitarianism great?

The Republicans should print a list of all the Democrats that have received "Wall Street" money (and the amount they received).
And then tell the Democrats to "Shove it."

I don’t take contributions from payday lenders. I refuse to do that. Really now... perhaps you can explain the $13,250 you took from Fannie Mae in 2006... along with a lot of other rather questionable donors as well, including the far-left "Podesta Group" in 2012. Lawyers are also big fans of yours throughout your career... to the tune of $757,390.

I don’t take contributions from payday lenders. I refuse to do that. Unless of course it's been sanitized first by going thru a lobbyists bank account.
. For example, in the current cycle Clyburn accepted $1,500 from Joyce Rogers, a registered lobbyist for payday lender Cash America International.
