That is utter bullshit. VC firms lose on deals all the time. You are simply spouting off nonsense. You have no clue how a VC firm is run or what transpires. Again, if a VC firm consistently stuck its clients with losses that itself never shared in... why would people invest with them??? The VC firms typically have the larger positions with their own money. They are side by side with their investors. But you don't care to actually learn the truth do you? You just want to spout off hate filled nonsense in an attempt to paint a candidate you don't like as 'evil'.

Here is one where you were corrected.

As I stated, VC firms are not going to be perfect. But for every Ampad, you are going to have a Staples, Sports Authority, Warner music etc...

When you take over struggling firms, some are not going to make it.

An analogy for you... twenty gun shot victims end up on the same surgeons table. Are you going to call the surgeon a butcher/killer if he isn't able to save every patient? Should the surgeon not try?

Here is another correction that you ignored. Try answering that question I bolded.

I have never heard of the situation with Ampad. There are thousands of VC deals every year. If you wish to discuss ONE, then post a link to what you want to discuss. It is not 'my homework'. You made a statement, either back it up or shut the fuck up about it.

I am not the one biased, you are. You have bought into the bullshit Obama is feeding you. You have no clue what VC firms do. You just want to parrot one talking point after another. I linked up to the Soros speculating and you ignore it. I try to explain to you how VC firms work and you stick your hands over your ears and shout 'la la la I can't hear you'.

I'm not biased about any of this. I don't work in venture capitalism, I'm not a Democrat and I didn't vote for Obama.

I just read. That's how I knew about Ampad and Bain Capital. I suggest you do the same before you make a further ass of yourself on this subject.

LOL... you are biased. You continue parroting talking points that are not factual in nature. You continue to tell people to read up on Ampad, but refuse to link us to that which you want us to read. LINK IT UP. I will gladly read it.

You are the only one making an ass out of yourself. I have said repeatedly that not all VC deals work. So you choose one that in your mind failed due to Bain. Yet you ignore the ones that were successful. Why is that? The only explanation to ignore the good and highlight only what you perceive as the failures is that you are biased.

You quite obviously do not read. You can't point to one thing that I have stated that is incorrect. Hell, you won't even comment on them. You just keep shouting AMPAD and then telling the rest of the board we have to go find what it is you are referring to.

So again... link it up if you wish to discuss that one specific case.

Tell me what about the above is incorrect? You refuse to actually discuss anything. Why is that?

Go learn about Bain and Ampad. Report back here after you've done that, then we'll talk. :D
