Yo, Rubes...

...this is your guy?

From Mother Jones:
The Stericycle deal—the abortion connection aside—is relevant because of questions regarding the timing of Romney's departure from the private equity firm he founded. Responding to a recent Washington Post story reporting that Bain-acquired companies outsourced jobs, the Romney campaign insisted that Romney exited Bain in February 1999, a month or more before Bain took over two of the companies named in the Post's article. The SEC documents undercut that defense, indicating that Romney still played a role in Bain investments until at least the end of 1999.
So let's see some of what we got here:

  • Romney made a boatload of dough disposing of "humans" (ie: living, fertilized embryos).
  • Romney, as MA Gov outsourced a consumer call center in India to the tune of $160k/month
  • Romney scratched tens of thousands of jobs as he and his partners pocketed millions of dollars - a lot of which came from the pension funds of the people who'd spent their entire adult lives working for and building those companies.

This ain't the guy, Repubs.  His foreign policy team is almost all NeoCon retreads, and his economic guys are all the boneheads who got us into this mess to start with.  Pick somebody else.
