Romney Led Bain's Investment in Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses

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.

Here’s a hint, getting staggering drunk in Moms basement, puking on yourself, and then posting hateful lies on FR doesn’t make you cool. It just makes you look like a fool.

Another reason NOT to vote for the RINO.

I would not know anything about that.

I'll take your word for it. As a cowering, craven apologist and pom pom girl for Mittler, you should know!!!

You are SUCH a clever and eloquent example of a pro- Mittler debater. I haven't seen a single refutation of what you hallucinate to be "hateful lies" against Mittler out of you or any other Mittler pom pom girl. Just sniveling, sniffling, cowering fear and terror that Obozo is ten feet tall and comes in millions and the customary willful blindness and hypocrisy that somehow St. Mittler (aka Gov. Etch-a-Sketch is soooooo much better. If he actually was better on anything but Muffy's trust fund, we would have heard it by now. We haven't and Mittler isn't.

Since you haven't got the spine to do the obviously conservative thing and reject Mittler as well as Obozo, you resent those who call you out for your hypocrisy in posing as a "conservative" while supporting an enemy of civilization.

When you are a Mittler pom pom girl, as clearly you are, the truth sure must hurt badly.

I declare you guilty of murder because you spend money and pay taxes.

Good one. Your post should have ended the discussion. :)

Give ‘em hell, BlackElk. I’m enjoying every one of your stinging rebukes to Mittster’s pom pom girls. Keep ‘em coming!

True conservatives must choose between being slaves to the government slowly voting our REPUBLIC out of existence or being a free people and remaining a REPUBLIC. The time of choosing is at hand, we have reached the tipping point by constantly drinking the gop koolaid of voting in the lesser of 2 evils is better than the d evil...evil is evil no matter it's color or PARTY!
