Romney Led Bain's Investment in Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses
The Atlantic Wire ^ | July 2, 2012 | Elspeth Reeve

Posted on 07/02/2012 10:59:19 AM PDT by van_erwin

David Corn has a report out this morning that pushes the continuing attacks on Mitt Romney's tenure at Bain Capital forward not just because of the business it involves — disposing of aborted fetuses — but because it extends the length of time he worked at Bain. According to Securities and Exchange Commission documents, Romney was involved in Bain's investment in a company called Stericycle in late 1999. What did Stericycle do? Well, it was a fast-growing, profitable medical waste company. But it also had some problems, such as getting fined for keeping body parts and dead animals in unmarked containers or exposing workers to tuberculosis. And then there were the fetuses. Romney now describes himself as "adamantly pro-life" now but embraced pro-choice positions on abortion in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Back when Bain was involved with Stericycle, anti-abortion activists have waged a campaign against the company.

But that revelation may not be the most significant part of Corn's report (conservatives who aren't wild about Romney's conservative credentials aren't making much noise now that Romney is the Republican nominee). The most damaging part may be the dates.

A fool in Paradise:

It was a verrrry bad idea to ally with Stalin and we still did not make him POTUS as you are so eager to do with Robamney or Mittler as one of his sycophants here calls him to try and make us believe that his enthusiasm is after soul searching and minute calculations to determine that Mittler is somehow a smidgeon better than Obamao. They are BOTH enemies of Western Civilization, morality and the American way of life. With Stalin and Hitler as with Obamao and Mittler, a different strategy was called for.

In WWII, we should have invaded Western Europe early and then held the territory, leaving Stalin and Hitler to waste their forces on each other. When that preliminary contest was decided, we then move our forces in to conquer the victor. That would also have had the obvious side benefit of NO UNITED NATIONS.

By analogy, we should have destroyed Romney in the GOP primaries and then destroyed Obozo with a worthy candidate. Instead, we are about to nominate Obozo's ideological twin. Therefore: Celebrate the destruction of ONE of the twin PsOS on election night and immediately RESIST the "winner" in every way imaginable until the "winner" is destroyed. No honeymoon, no cooperation, no cowardly accommodationism, no "compromise" (bureaucratese for surrender on the installment plan) of any sort. No increases in the debt limit. No judges approved. No cabinet members approved, etc., etc.

Romneycare originally provided for absolute abortion on demand for $50 no matter how complicated. (This was TWO YEARS AFTER Mittler CLAIMED to have become "pro-life.")His successor Governor Coupe DeValle has cancelled the $50 charge. Certainly Romneycare is AT LEAST as comfy with mass slaughter of innocent babies as is Obozocare. Therefore Romneycare also kills at least as much and, as someone put it, REGARDLESS of whether Obozo or Mittler is elected, "we will ALL be paying for infanticide." The ongoing death toll of the surgical form of the American Holocaust is scheduled to reach 60 million under the next major party babykiller to be elected.

You are what and whom you vote for. That means that Mittler's and Obozo's supporters must ALL be pro-aborts if their actions define them otherwise they would not vote for militant pro-abort POTUS candidates even when such a candidate as Mittler lies. No one really cares whom Mittler's worshipers and voters voted for in GOP primaries. Voting for Mittler OR Obamao means being a pro-abort. There is no meaningful difference unless you want to believe Mittler's Etch-a-Sketch lies about an issue as vital as baby-killing en masse.

At least you are accurate in your choice of screen names.

At least you got the "Mittler" part right. Thank you. When Mittler eats a live baby on TV, be sure to put the video on Youtube and post it here as well. "Republican" legislators have some advantage over Demonrats when Obozo is in the White House. Most "Republicans" and especially McConnell, Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy, as their "leaders" are monarchist cowards, liars and spaghetti spines when serving during a "Republican" POTUS administration.

We need Ted Cruz to replace that GOP-E witch Hutchison and do NOT need a Dewhurst. We need fewer Lindsay Grahams, John McCains, Susan Collins, Saxby Chamblisses, Johnny Isaksons, Thad Cochranes, Lamar Alexanders, Bob Corkers and Nancyboy Kirks, to name a few. We need a LOT more Marco Rubios, Ron Johnsons, Mike Lees, Debbie Fischers, Mark Neumans, Richard Mourdocks, Sarah Steelmans, to name a few. IF we elect EVERY anti-GOP-E Senate candidate, we still have NO possibility of controlling Mittler. If they are elected and stiffen the spine of the GOP caucuses, MAYBE we can destroy Comrade Obozo.

Conservatives (we who oppose Mittler) don't really care how you vote since it does not really matter which of these major party barbarians is elected. We still have to destroy the "winner" immediately thereafter, no matter whom.

You seem awfully anxious to DEMAND that we violate our consciences and principles and vote for your POS buddy Mittler. AND, you try to comfort yourself by imagining that those who refuse to support GOP-E Mittler are somehow pro-Obama. That is your rationale for selling your soul if you imagine yourself to be conservative. My soul is not for sale. Nor will it be.

Driftdiver:

Obama is not meaningfully better or worse. Obama cannot destroy the GOP as a meaningful opposition party to the Demonrats you would claim to hate and who deserve that hatred. Mittler can and will destroy the GOP.

Claim to hate? Blackelk, Go piss yourself and stop pretending you are an adult. You are no better then one of the communists who attack everyone who doesn’t parrot their party line.

If you are voting for Mittler, he's your boy and you are his. Nobody cares how you voted in the primary. It's Mittler vs. Obamao as major party candidates. You are what and whom you vote for. I'm voting for Tom Hoefling whether the quisling wing of the GOP likes it or not. If Tom is not on the ballot, then it will be Virgil Goode.

As to how either will do, I am God's servant and not God's bookie or His race track tout. We are about to be in His hands alone since neither major party deserves even minimal tolerance.

I respect your civil right to vote for whomever you please. If your choice is either of the baby-killers, faggot coddlers, religion persecutors, Mittler or Obamao, then I expect you to respect my right and that of actual conservatives to despise you and shun you for your choice.

These are the circumstances that separate the wheat from the chaff. You are what and whom you vote for.

There are people here who lament Catholic voting patterns as overly liberal. The statistics they use are from elections when churchgoing conservative Catholics have been rather uniformly Republican. That ain’t happening for Mittler the baby-killer, faggot coddler, and church persecutor any more than for Obamao who share all three qualities.

I’m sure Barack Obama will send you a love letter for your help in his re-election.

Mittler may be YOUR presumptive nominee. He will NEVER be mine and I will NEVER have a baby-butchering, faggot coddling, gun grabbing, church persecuting, serial lying, death panel creating, Obozo/Robamneycare pushing POS, whether Mittler or Obamao, on my conscience or my soul which is NOT for sale.

In each and every POTUS election since and including 1968, I have voted Republican (often as a party official) including such crap as Gerald Ford, Bob Dole and John McCain for three examples. NEVER AGAIN. If the GOP wants my vote, it will have to earn it the old-fashioned way by nominating ideologically acceptable candidates. Further, I will not EVER forgive much less reward Mittler's despicable use of Wall Street $$$ to crush each and every decent candidate under a mountain of well-funded lies, libels and slanders.

Just because we will not sell our souls as you apparently have, does NOT make us Obozo "supporters" any more than we are Mittler supporters. You are voting for one of them. I and actual conservatives will vote for neither. Your boy Mittler would be proud of your adoption of his dishonest tactics. I do not owe Mittler, you or the GOP-E my vote nor does anyone else and, at least as to my vote, Mittler will NEVER get it.

You are whom and what you vote for.

Stop kidding yourself. Look at Romneycare (adopted two YEARS AFTER Mittler claimed to become "pro-life") which provided abortion on demand, paid for by taxpayers and policyholders for no more than $50 AND made Planned Barrenhood a permanebnt fixture on the board of Romneycare.

Under EITHER Mittler OR Obamao, we are ALL PERSONALLY ABORTIONISTS. They are EQUALLY evil on the subject of abortion, faggot coddling and church persecuting. As Casey Stengel used to say: You can look it up!

You are whom and what you vote for.

Artcore:

The difference is that if you vote for Mittler, you ARE a Romneybot, a RINO and at least an enabler of the GOP-E. Lady Lucky is an actual conservative unlike you. You are whom and what you vote for.

Well-funded ad hominem attacks in the nature of lies, libel and slander are the absolute hallmark of Mittler's despicable campaign. You have proven a worthy worshiper of Mittler. Maybe he will give you a job IF he wins. Maybe you are on his campaign payroll. You lie and slander and libel almost as well as Myth Romney's advertising people. Neither Lady Lucky nor I nor the actual conservatives here have any more use for Obamao than we have for Mittler. They are two of a kind. You make three.

Thank you for identifying yourself for what you are so that we may remember forever.

I wonder how much Mittler gets per corpse? Does it go into his campaign treasury?

I am a Catholic. I am a pro-lifer. I oppose redefining marriage as including and subsidizing rump-rangers and the like. I am absolutely pro-gun and pro-RTKBA. I oppose taxes on folks of modest means. I believe in the appointment of only those judges with a potential to make Scalia look liberal. I oppose death panels and each and every provision of Obozocare and its daddy Romneycare. Friedrich von Hayek and Ludwig von Mises have defined economics for me. My idea of diployak is sending whatever general most resembles Stonewall Jackson, George S. Patton, Jr., Chesty Puller, or Curtis (Bombs away with Curt) LeMay to have full authority to resolve any "crisis" their way.

I would imprison Mittler and Obozo gladly for life at least. America has many liars and too many for you to get any meaningful reward for emulating your liemaster object of worship. Caligula = Nero = Diocletian = Obamao = Mittler = Moloch.

Bottom line: Mittler and Obamao NEVER get my vote. They BOTH need to be destroyed. I don't owe my vote to either of them, to the GOP, or to you who snivel and whimper in the corner in fear and terror.

I want to thank you for your obvious expression of delusions which justify and guarantee that, like your liemaster object of worship (Mittler), you be ever despised and shunned by actual conservatives. Even Gerald Ford had advantages over your little wannabe god Mittler.

Your eloquence in trying to obfuscate the truth is overwhelming. I thought you were the one on your knees worshiping Mittler. Isn't Mittler your party candidate and your party line? Since you admire Mittler so much, it is natural and reasonable to conclude that you support Mittler and are no better than he is. I am a lot better since I have been at movement conservatism for more than forty years. I have also been a Reagan state chairman when he challenged Ford among many other qualifications you lack.

You CLAIM to hate Demonrats while accepting and pimping a candidate who agrees with them on each and every issue worth noticing (i.e. NOT the wellbeing of Muffy's trust fund or taxes on Mittler's class). You may hallucinate that you hate Demonrats but the evidence seems quite to the contrary. You vote for your Demonrat in GOP drag. I won't. I owe you nothing. I owe Mittler nothing. I owe the GOP nothing unless it nominates acceptable candidates.

Your pathetic and desperate need to elect that "GOP" POS Mittler says all that needs to be said of you.

Go take a permanent dive in the Sahara. You won't be missed.

driftdiver:

I am aware of no such truce so it cannot very well have failed. Any truce based upon acceptance of the persistent habits of Mittler and his love slaves in slandering, libeling and lying about actual conservatives who would naturally not be caught dead or alive supporting your POS leftist, baby-killer, church-persecutor, gun grabber, faggot coddler sorry excuse for a candidate and hallucinating that ANY of us would actually support Obamao who is but a smidgeon to Mittler's left on a few inconsequential issues is not likely to have attracted my voluntary assent.

As to my "hyperbolic charges" that you claim to be "incorrect" it is time for you to put up or shut up. See #137. Hey, tell us about yourself in response to the following questions.

1. Do you support Mittler for POTUS in 2012? Or is that an incorrect charge?

2. Is it or is it not the "GOP-E" party line that we must ALL support Mittler for whatever imbecilic excuse for a reason(s)? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

3. Do you admire the babykilling, church persecuting, gun grabbing, etc., Mittler? If not, tell us where you differ from it (Mittler). Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

4. See #1 above. Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

5. Are you better than or no better than Mittler? If better, describe in what ways? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

6. Do you CLAIM to hate Demonrats or not? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

7. Do you accept Mittler as your POTUS candidate or not? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

8. Are you pimping for Mittler here? If not, how can we tell? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

9. Do you deny that Mittler agrees with Obamao on the important issues (i.e. other than the care and feeding of Muffy's trust fund and the coddling of those in his privileged class? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

10. Is Mittler a Demonrat in GOP drag? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

11. Are you hallucinating that I will not refuse to vote for Mittler? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

12. Do I owe you or Mittler my vote in November? Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

13. I owe the GOP nothing unless it nominates acceptable candidates. Or is that an "incorrect charge?"

14. Mittler is a POS. Or is that an "incorrect charge?" If your answer is that it is incorrect, prove it.

Everything I need to know about you is evident from your participation here and what you post.

To the deepest drifts of the Sahara: GO! And dive as deeply and permanently as you can.

Put up or shut up!
