4. Devastating Commercial. PLAY IT AGAIN, SAM!

Devastating commercial, and I think it could sway a lot of independents.

Mitt-sie Rmoney is trying to run on the economy and on the basis of his business "experience." Oldies-but-goodies like this commercial could serve as excellent reminders of just what a great "job-creator" Rmoney proved to be while Governor of Massachusetts (47th out of 50 states while he was Governor of the Bay State) and how well he did by the people working for the firms Bain Capital took over.

Let's not forget that these Republicans, these Republicans who were chiefly responsible for setting up conditions for the 2008 crash, campaigned on "jobs, jobs, jobs." While in office they did anything BUT create jobs, jobs, jobs. They have a sorry record--ALL of them, including Rmoney. And lest we forget, didn't the feckless fellow who vacated the White House on January 20th, 2009 campaign on the basis that he, too, was a "bidnessman" and had an MBA (And from Harvard, too, although he didn't mention it!)?

That's exactly what he was. Bain Capital is a private equity corporation. It had zero interest in creating jobs and expanding the companies they bought. Their only interest was creating wealth for their shareholders and themselves. In a few short years, Bain bankrupted 5 companies that were profitable at the time Bain acquired them. They were a strip and flip organization. They stripped off whatever value the company had and sold it, then they borrowed money against what was left in order to pay dividends to Bain shareholders and buy back public shares to increase their capital gains.

The business practices they used should be illegal, and the very best thing you can say about them is that they are morally and ethically wrong.
