ROMNEY ON TRACK TO LOSE ELECTION

ROMNEY ON TRACK TO LOSE ELECTION

Romney’s financial manipulations have, in the last 48 hours, exploded from mysterious shouldering embers into a political bonfire that could consume his entire campaign.

Romney is calling President Obama a liar and Obama is continuing his call for Romney to release full information about his financial manipulations and more than one year of tax returns.

Articles in the Washington Post and Boston Globe have probed and continue to probe into Romney’s convoluted finances and his years as CEO and owner of Bain Capital. Romney has called for retraction of these widely quoted articles without success.

Either Mitt Romney was "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" of Bain Capital from 1999-2002, when all sorts of ugly outsourcing and vulture fund activities were taking place, or he was just listed as "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" on the company's documents, which means he was simply a figurehead collecting cash generated by said ugly outsourcing and vulture fund activities.

There appears to be more than ample multiple evidence that Romney is not telling the truth about completely leaving Bain after 1999. If you want to read all the details:

And these articles on Romney/Bain only scratch the surface. After the Boston Globe article on Thursday the Internet lit up like a Christmas tree as everyone with access seemed to have something to report.

Of course the Obama campaign wasted no time getting out TV ads on the subject. One of the most recent has Romney singing “God Bless America” while the graphics pound him for his financial manipulations. Click here:http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/14... . Voters in the swing states are getting their first glimpse behind the mask of Romney’s polished campaign performance.

This all brings back Richard Nixon’s famous statement,“I am not a crook.”
The problem for Romney is that it is impossible for him to win an election campaign based on whether or not he is a potential criminal who has lied on legally required reports. Every day the media probes deeper into the Romney financial paper trail and reveals more and more conflicts between Romney’s personally signed reports and his recorded campaign statements is a day closer to his political defeat. If the present political bonfire doesn’t die down soon the GOP may decide at its late August convention to throw Romney under the bus.

It wasn't just Obama, though, pushing the presumptive Republican nominee to put the issue of his tax returns and wealth to rest.

"There is no whining in politics," chided John Weaver, a veteran Republican strategist. "Stop demanding an apology, release your tax returns."

1. Willard -- the great American liar and fraud

2. I don't agree, never underestimate the stupidity of the American people. In a recent poll, 30% of

the people polled believe the President is a Muslim, and 50% do not know what his religion is.

I could provide more evidence for how inept many are in this country, but I suspect we are all aware of them.

If the pressure starts to build agains on romney's tax returns, I suspect he will announce his vp choice, and the media will turn its 5 minute attention span to that

We have to be very vigilant which I know everyone here is aware, and take nothing for granted

The fact is, no amount of well-researched facts will change most people's minds.

Gotta get out the vote.

3. "Shouldering embers"?

Sometimes spellcheck just does whatever the he'll it wants.

5. Yes, it's let me down sometimes. I've found I must READ what I wrote. That's for you guys.

Hey, it's off off and away. I'm beat.

Anyway, he did a great job with all of those links. I asked him on another thread to make an OP of that information.

Still, we must be vigilant against the creeping stupid that is the American voting pool. Because there is no lifeguard at the gene pool, nor should there be...

6. ...as you can see it decided "hell" needed contraction.
