All they had to do was find a couple of democrats. Those bastards will say / do anything to further the cause. We’ve seen it many times. Liars and bastards, all of them.
this is why you NEVER hire liberals / progressives
and if ou identify one in your company ... fire them
This will come off as the peevish maneuver it obviously is.
I’m assuming they are going to extol Obama and his plans to tax the rich.
If these are people who work FOR bain, not companies bain took over, what are they going to say?
All of us at bain are a bunch of capitalist running dogs, we stink?
I don’t think so.
I also rather doubt they are going to personally slam Romney, that would be extremely bad form and I doubt it would be worth it just to help the dis-loyal and term-limited Obama.
So, I’m pretty sure it will be along the lines of Obama is great, tax the rich, even though I’m rich, tax me, tax me tax ME (by which they’ll mean you, of course, but never mind).
I don’t think this is any more exciting than Artur Davis speaking at the R. convention or Charlie Christ speaking in Charlotte.
I suppose I could be wrong. We’ll see.

Democrats ignore this inconvenient truth: Bain’s private-equity executives have enriched dozens of organizations and millions of individuals in the Democratic base — including some who scream most loudly for President Obama’s re-election.

They will accuse Republican nominee Mitt Romney and Bain’s other “greedy” co-founders of stealing their winnings, evading taxes and lighting cigars with $100 bills on their yachts.

Google Obama and Bain
They can’t let this stuff go, can they?
Just a stupid thought here. It seems to me Romney could put the whole rich man thing to bed if he did something noble and declared he would only take a Dollar a year in salary as President, no benefits and no retirement.
I’m not on the tack of declaring who does and does not need what but if it were me and I were so successful to have the opportunity to take on such a job in public service it would be just that, in public service. Not expecting anything but costs to be covered and that would be enough.
These super greedy company officials have figured out that they can sell out themselves for access to taxpayer money and special government waivers and contracts. The dems are cheap dates.
This is personal. Romney/Ryan should reciprocate.
Well, one thing is for sure, Romney’s people will NOT find a disgruntled, former employee from Obama’s past. Guess there are no skeletons in his “never” been a boss or had a real job closet!

Pagliuca joined Bain Capital in 1989 from Bain & Company where he focused on the information services and healthcare industries and developed Bain & Company’s turnaround practice.
Pagliuca started his career as a senior accountant and international tax specialist at Peat Marwick Mitchell & Company in the Netherlands (Peat Marwick is today KPMG).
Pagliuca, a Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for Senate in 2010, told CNN: “Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in February 1999 to run the Olympics and has had absolutely no involvement with the management or investment activities of the firm or with any of its portfolio companies since the day of his departure.”
In explaining the SEC documents filed in 2000 and 2001, Pagliuca said, “Due to the sudden nature of Mr. Romney’s departure, he remained the sole stockholder for a time while formal ownership was being documented and transferred to the group of partners who took over management of the firm in 1999. Accordingly, Mr. Romney was reported in various capacities on SEC filings during this period.”
Steve Pagliuca is rich. Very rich. Two hundred and sixty million dollars to $400 million rich.
