Did Bain and Romney Breaking the Law?

[Yurt]

why did you lie howey?

It's hard to figure what he's contorting himself to cover up.. but the contortion indicates he is covering for something.. The irony of course is after 3 years we're still hearing how Obama was never vetted, while the same mouths are saying all this information on Mitt is irrelevant.. well no, it's not. He's using his record and experience as a reason why he's right for the job.. but so far we've learned that not only does he not have control of his money, he doesn't have anything to do with the company he was CEO,Chairman,managing director...etc of... and thru all of this, we're told to ask questions about his experience and record is just unfair opposition research..

it's so insane that the (R)ight is demanding Obama's college application from 20+ years ago.. while saying we don't need to see Romney's tax returns from a 3-4 years ago?

I don't get it.

Has Romney even presented a long form birth certificate?

why did you lie howey?

.

[Superfreak]

That would be you.




Poor Howey, the above could be a rhetorical question, however... you ANSWERED it in your post. You stated, 'according to the SEC... YES'

Poor Howey, he groaned me for pointing out how silly he looked.

[Jarod]

Was Romney the CEO of Bain in 2000 and 2001 and 2002.

If not he lied to the SEC.

If so he lied to the American people.

LOL

This has been covered and explained, yet liberals still do not want to believe it. I guess when Obama is your president and is a failure at everything he touches, all you have left to go on are lies and exagerations.

Or you could say "it's so insane that the (L)eft is demanding Romney's tax returns..while saying we don't need to see Obama's college transcripts (when you demanded them of George Bush). Just saying.

Or I could just point out how you guys are happy to dredge up GWB when it suits you, yet whine "OMG Leave Bush alone already".. when any lib does..

as for Obama's transcripts.. that's a birther issue and I wouldn't entertain their batshit crazy either..

Has Romney even presented a long form birth certificate?

nope, he just released his '"Certificate of Live Birth."

according to three years of commentary from top conservative media and politicos, it's not enough. "There's a difference between a birth certificate, apparently, and a certificate of live birth," said Fox News host Jeanine Pirro in a segment last April on the President's supposedly missing paper trail. The President's certificate of live birth, reported Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy, "is not the exact birth certificate." Sarah Palin suggested that the certificate of live birth was insufficient proof of citizenship.
