Oh and BTW, your boy Romney still owes quite a bit of stock in Bain and is still has quite a bit of sway with their Board. So why is Mittens allowing this to happen - What happened to Country First?? I guess the Almighty Dollar is King in the Romney household.

This is outrageous!

He is running for office, everything he owns is in a blind trust, he has no control over any companies, or any money.

And he left Bain in 2002.

Tit for tat and one upmanship.

We deserve everything that is coming to us.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel. It's too damn easy.

I tried to find the video, but don't have time now...

On Wednesday’s Jansing & Co., host Chris Jansing took a look back at 1994, when Mitt Romney shared his thought about blind trusts being, as he put, an “age-old ruse.” Jansing played a clip of Romney’s comments, which he had made during his senatorial run against Ted Kennedy.

“You can always tell the blind trust what it can and cannot do,” Romney had said. “You can give a blind trust rules.”

When you have lots of stock you get sway when it comes time for shareholder voting which is once per year.

Don't blame Romney for what the company is doing because he doesn't run that company.
Blame the Board of Directors and CEO, CFO, etc.

Let's talk about who Romney really is.

Romney is a draft-dodging coward who used his pappy's money and influence to stay out of Vietnam. Romney is an animal abuser. Romney is not a Christian, he is a high priest in the Mormon religion and is devoted to spreading the Mormon ideology. Romney hates gays and believes that women belong in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. Romney has announced that if elected he would end all funding for abortions and family planning. At a speech in front of the NAACP Romney defiantly boasted that he would end all government programs. (He was booed off the stage). Romney's speech at the NAACP would indicate that he is also a closet racist. Romney is responsible for hundreds of thousands of jobs being outsourced overseas. Romney made money for Bain through closing businesses and laying off thousands, foreclosures, and government subsidies. Most importantly Romney is a sneak, a liar, and a coward who will say anything for a vote.

If elected, Romney will involve the US in another unfunded useless war. While he and his family relax in the safety of the USA our children and grandchildren will be forced to fight and die. Romney will move to end Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid leaving seniors and the poor on the street to suffer and die. Romney is a profiteer who places money above all things. Romney is a greedy scum who has no right to even run for the presidency.

As a major stockholder he absolutely can influence how Bain conducts their business. It is the utmost in hypocrisy to continue to profit from outsourcing to China while condemning Chinese business practices.
And if anyone thinks he is not profiting, or maybe more aptly profiteering, well...

Mitt Romney still profiting handsomely from Bain, offshore tax havens: report* - NY Daily News

Shareholders do not run the business. The board of directors do and appoint a CEO to execute on their plans.
