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.

Interesting that your first tactic was to leap instantly to an ad hominem on me ~ DEFEND YOUR BOY. He's living on the proceeds of processing the bodies of slaughtered human infants.

He has no soul.

At this point I don’t care if Romney eats live kittens tail first. The only thing that matters is the defeat of Obama.

Everthing else is secondary.

Defend the behavior.

He was way over the line of anything that's acceptable.

There go the Catholic voters. I think that drops his possible vote total down into the low 30 millions ~ maybe less.

“At this point, he could eat baby on live TV and I’d still vote for him just to get rid of that commie impostor sitting in the White House!”

Then, what’s the point of life?

If true, you claim that is not relevant?

BINGO!!! IF TRUE.

The media is now backtracking on the Romney outsourcing "scandal."

The left has got to be more desperate this election than they've ever been. Obomacare is a HUGE loser for them. I believe they're scrambling, and they'll be using every dirty, nasty trick they can find in their Satanic bibles this time.

I’m sick of RINOs hijacking the party by telling us we have to fall in line or we’re giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Sorry, I don’t know who David Corn is, but I don’t really care. Stericycle is in the business of murder, and Romney is as pro-death as Obama.

There is a pro-choice candidate running, Andre Barnett. http://www.ontheissues.org/Andre_Barnett.htm

And we're sick of unhinged kooks like you helping to hand Obama his second term.

You Obama supporters will stop at nothing to get your man elected!

He ain’t my boy. I didn’t vote for him in my state’s primary.

Name names or stop “talkin’ tough”.

Who is your candidate? Which state ballots is he on? How many will he win?

Breitbart has a message for you:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbycMtTUDfE&feature=player_detailpage#t=733s

Take it or leave it. I’m not here to convince anyone of how they should vote, and no one here is going to change my vote. I respect your right to vote how you wish; please respect mine.

Thank you.

For our presumptive nominee to catch a break around here is beyond possibility. But what do I expect from Obama supporters?

Or is your goal to keep me home and “boycotting” the election just like a Moby “dick”?

Punk the prez? - Moby’s anti-Bush tricks
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1074278/posts
New York Daily News ^ | 2/09/04 | Rush & Molloy

One of Sen. John Kerry’s celebrity supporters is ready to pull out all the stops to get him elected. Republicans are shrieking over a suggestion by rocker Moby that Democrats spread gossip about President Bush on the Internet. “No one’s talking about how to keep the other side home on Election Day,” Moby tells us. “It’s a lot easier than you think and it doesn’t cost that much. This election can be won by 200,000 votes.”

Moby suggests that it’s possible to seed doubt among Bush’s far-right supporters on the Web.

“You target his natural constituencies,” says the Grammy-nominated techno-wizard. “For example, you can go on all the pro-life chat rooms and say you’re an outraged right-wing voter and that you know that George Bush drove an ex-girlfriend to an abortion clinic and paid for her to get an abortion.

“Then you go to an anti-immigration Web site chat room and ask, ‘What’s all this about George Bush proposing amnesty for illegal aliens?’”

Moby didn’t claim that he believed the abortion story.

Last month, Bush did propose reforms to immigration policy. But he insisted, “I oppose amnesty, placing undocumented workers on the automatic path to citizenship [because it] perpetuates illegal immigration.”

Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson likened Moby’s proposal to “dirty campaign tactics we’re already seeing from John Kerry.”

“His campaign was willing to use these kinds of voter suppression tactics against members of his own party in Iowa and New Hampshire,” Iverson says. “John Kerry is a hypocrite. He pledged to run a clean campaign. Then he uses the lowest form of gutter politics to impugn his opponents, Democratic and Republican. It’s unfortunate but this is probably just the beginning of the kind of tactics we’re going to be seeing from John Kerry in the months to come.”

Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said, “I doubt that Moby was suggesting anybody suppress the vote. We did not use any dirty tactics against any candidate...”

Any article that starts out by saying effectively that “David Corn says...” can not possibly pass the ‘truthiness’ test, let alone the ‘stink test’.

Disposal of bodies is just a symptom. If you want a cure, you have to track down the disease. That would be Oboma.

Get rid of the disease, and the symptoms will disappear right along with it.

Coming from someone from the Class of 98, you should be ashamed of yourself for supporting the Re-election of Barrack Husein Obama. And Donna too. Whatever compensation you get can’t be worth it.

“The lesser of two evils” is still evil.

Yep. And it can be opposed.

For now, Romney holds no office.

The man in the oval office today is doing more evil things as POTUS than Mitt Romney ever has.

Gun running. Killing mexicans. Aiding Islamic jihad in the Middle East. Aiding global Communism and turning his back on US Allies.

Barack Obama has got to go.

If there is a name to replace Mitt Romney on the ballot, it had better be trumpeted now and loudly.

Saying "somebody else" is just farting around.

"Stericycle is in the business of murder"

No it's not. It's in the medical and biohazard waste handling and disposal business.

Under Obama we are the ones calling for the pickup.

I WILL TAKE THE LESSER OF TWO EVILS THAT DOES NOT MAKE ME FUND ABORTION.
