Doesn't matter if Romney managed/ran Bain between 1999-2002 because he took the money.

Everyone's focused on whether Romney was involved in running Bain during their "outsourcing" period.
Politically it doesn't matter, and I don't care if he personally oversaw these moves or not.
What does matter is that he made money off it.
He profited off people's pain and if he didn't do it, he stood by and let it happen.
I think this is just as bad if not actually worse.
Business decisions can be rationalized but business apathy can't.

so they can attend stockholders meetings and speak up for ordinary people and the environment.

And yet he can own millions of dollars worth of a company that profits from aborted fetuses, and no one on the right has uttered a peep.

so it doesn't matter what Mitt really stands for.
They use the Christians anyway and hate the fact that they are finally taking over the party.
Can't they just let themselves be used as pawns like the last 30 years?
