Mitt Romney's Signature Appears On Bain SEC Filings During Time He Said He Left Bain

From the article, Bainer:
The geniuses at Team Obama are showing their complete ignorance of private enterprise, the law, and the one well vetted part of Mitt Romney’s career — his tenure at Bain Capital.
It is well established that Mitt Romney left Bain to go salvage the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. It is also well established that his name remained on some SEC do ents. This stems from winding down his partnership interest in Bain Capital. It is a quirk in the law. It has been well vetted. Even FactCheck.org and the Washington Post are unpersuaded by Team Obama’s hyperbole.
What's the point of your quote? Why would you think this pertains to me if I'm just pasting an article?
Pasting the article indicated, to me, agreement with the premise there is something wrong with Romney's signature being on SEC filings after he left the day-to-day operation of his company and went to the Olympics.
If not, what was your point in pasting the article?
to share news?
I merely responded to the posted article with a quote from an article I had just posted demonstrating there was nothing to his signature being on SEC filings after he had left Bain.
Why?
He's a politician.
Everybody knows that the definition of politician is professional liar.
see whay I call him ShazBot?@ Boutox.
ing idiot...
Have you watched the Mork and Mindy clip in my sig?
are you saying that sworn filings disclosing Mitt Romney as CEO of Bain mean nothing, and Romney is not responsible for them or for the activities of Bain when he was on file officially as their CEO?
$100,000 a year for three years to do nothing? Really?
Well, that is chump change for the job he was doing before.
Maybe some people wanted to see his name still.
That's actually only operative when its Democrats lying.
Catch a Democrat in a lie; meh, all politicians are liars.
Catch a Republican in a lie; IT'S BRINGING HIM DOWN!
But, since Romney hasn't lied about his relationship with Bain Capital, I don't see the big deal.
ing Bainers.
If he was not really doing any work with Bain, was he not at least misrepresenting to potential clients that he was involved by being listed as CEO and President.
Gecko's getting his self-proclaimed main qualification for Prez trashed, A VERY BIG DEAL, by his own lies, with the Dems simply pointing them out.
Business associates have said Gecko's word at Bain was worthless.
His own campaign guy said they could Etch-a-Sketch (erase, forget) all the Gecko pandering to the extreme right wing and "Christian" assholes in the primaries and become more moderate in the main campaign.
The guy stands for nothing, is an empty man, just like dubya, both born wealthy with silver spoons up their privileged asses.
Whether you like them or not, these lines of attack are proving extremely effective. Obama is now increasing his lead in Ohio and Virginia. If he wins those two states, it is over. The gap should shorten once American Crossroads and the other Republican super PACS unleash their barrage of attacks. I suspect they are waiting til closer to the election, hoping Obama's current momentum is peaking to early.
It's July and the Bainers keep getting their asses handed to them rather quickly.
A fair take, I think.
The Democrats are attempting to do a couple of other things with the Bain attack, one obvious and one less obvious. The obvious gambit is to define Mitt Romney before he can define himself. That’s an age-old tactic in bents use against challengers, particularly against challengers who worry them. Romney should and does worry Obama: He united the GOP far faster than anyone expected, he is running a much more aggressive and disciplined campaign than expected, and he is already raising more money than the Obama machine. That Obama is launching such a cynical attack now exposes him to charges that despite his hope and change rhetoric, he is in fact just another gutter politician. The Romney ad that hit today (embedded above) does a good job of opening that response by using Obama’s own lofty rhetoric against him. It’s a pretty devastating ad. The president does risk this entire attack blowing back on him, but he has calculated that it’s a risk worth taking. That leads to the second reason the Obama campaign is attacking Romney’s pre-political life.
Barack Obama is in a position where he must take risks in order to win. No McCain 2008 states are in play, while several Obama 2008 states are in play. Demographics and therefore electoral votes have shifted toward the GOP states. The economy is in the tank and Obama has no idea for changing that. His signature health care law is unpopular. His job approval rating is consistently underwater. Add to that, it’s simply an objective fact that Mitt Romney’s resume is far stronger than that of Barack Obama. Romney build a very successful company, then left that company to save face for America by rescuing the SLC Olympics from corruption and disaster. The whole narrative here is profoundly strong for Romney: He left a thriving business, one that fixed broken companies, at the height of success to serve his country. Through his competence and leadership, Romney averted national humiliation in the eyes of the world. To this day there exists no credible criticism of Romney’s Olympics success. After the Olympics job was done, Romney decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and get into public service full time. This part of Romney’s story is stronger than his four years as governor of Massachusetts, which is the part of his resume that most conservatives would prefer not to discuss, but which is not by itself a deal breaker with the right. Obama is attacking the strongest part of Romney’s story in order to crack it and weaken the rest of it. He is hoping to disqualify Romney in the minds of the voters by destroying the best things he has done in his professional life: Succeed in business and serve his country, both of which carry the subtext that Romney is able to solve very difficult problems. Barack Obama never succeeded in business, and never really fixed anything. Obama simply cannot compete or offer a story of his own that is as compelling as Romney’s. So he must destroy it if possible by turning Bain Capital into villainous Bane Capital in the minds of the voters, before Romney’s success story really sets in.
I consider that pretty fair, yes. But Obama's getting more traction with his Bain attacks, regardless. This is particularly devastating:
I guess if you like liars, it works...for a while.
Say, didn't the US send 29 billion of stimulus green money, offshore?
If for once if you tried to consider how this is viewed by people other than yourself then you will finally have some political insight. Most everything I read from you is a pat on your back and reaffirmation of your GOP fanboiism.
Try and consider what independents might think or borderline party supporters. Its pretty obvious that anything short of child rape isn't going to be enough to get you off the GOP bandwagon. As such they do not campaign to you, either side.
Stop thinking of what you think of the message and rather to what other people think.
Alabama’s GOP Governor Calls On Romney To Release More Tax Returns: ‘Release Everything To The American People’
Pressure was building on Romney from within his own party to be more forthcoming with his finances, a day after he declared he would not release past income tax returns beyond his 2010 tax records and, before the November election, his 2011 taxes.
On the sidelines of the National Governors Association meeting in Williamsburg, Alabama’s Republican governor, Robert Bentley, called on Romney to release all the do ents requested of him.
“If you have things to hide, then maybe you’re doing things wrong,” Bentley said. “I think you ought to be willing to release everything to the American people.“

Come on, Gecko, you know as one of the 0.01%, you can "settle" with the IRS for tax evasion. That old lesbian Senator from The Great Racist Red-State of South Carolina said this week tax evasion is The American Thing To Do.
