“The deal was finalized in 2008. Today, Bain Capital is still one of the primary owners of Clear Channel. “

This is 2012.

Romney left Bain in 1992.

I think everyone can do the math.

Neither Bain nor Clear Channel own FreeRepublic.....Another reason for folks to contribute.

Doing the math is good.

Doing the political "math" is also good. Who do you think is going to be more inclined to grease the skids in terms of tax codes and financial regulation in favor of Bain -- Romney or Gingrich?

There's a reason Bain sends so much more money to liberal politicians than conservative ones.

Romney left Bain in 1992.

Ahhh, you make joke!
