Oh Bain...

[nathanm]

Apparently Sensata was profitable, but not profitable enough for Bain:

Yeah, Romney left. He still makes money off of this stuff due to his existing investment in Bain.

I think it is fairly relevant.

If Romney says "China is a cheater in the global economy", then how come he personally invests in Chinese companies?

The answer is that Mitt's brain separates actions and words into things he says and business things.

This is one of them bidness things.

That horse ain't dead yet, friend. It's being killed right before our eyes. God forbid someone step in and stop it, that would be the soshulism.

Still, as it has been for over 100 years...to Democrats, low wages are the problem.  To Republicans, low wages are the answer.

Yes, but it fools most the people most the time and that's scary.

Go to Kolob, Guido!

Oh noes, the Romneybot is going to get me!

Wow, so pointing out the 'shortfalls' of Bain's business model is now beating a dead horse?  This video puts a real face on what Bain is doing, and the Rs are going batshit crazy over it.

Not a surprising comeback however, from the Gweed.  When he has none, he resorts to graphics and videos.

What is kind of surprising, is how those "non-comeback" comebacks are from someone who would supposedly be very good at 'debate', being a lawyer and all - going to court should actually hone those skills shouldn't it?

Bain is just boring to me and just screams desperation. This "story" began at least three months ago, while I also read that the sale that resulted in this outsource took place in 2010. Where was the outrage back then? Nowhere because it wasn't close enough to the election for people to try to blow it up. So get over yourselves. Second, if the concern is layoffs and lost jobs, please direct me to your outrage over the green job losses caused by this president--who actually was in charge when those jobs went Dodo (as opposed to Romney).

I am definitely as outraged by that as I am those caused by Romney, Bush, and the others.  We are talking outrage over 2 (green) versus outrage over 100.

"2 green"? What does that mean? Solyndra was 1100 jobs and millions of dollars lost by itself. Also, not really concerned about 170 jobs in Freeport, IL, a town I dare say many in this forum never heard of until they got their DailyKos memo. In fact, no one would give a crap about these workers if it had zero connection to Romney. So please folks, don't give me this BS outrage about people you normally would not give two liquid bummers about if this were any other day.

I don't disagree that most Americans wouldn't know about Bain and their history of outsourcing jobs and closing companies for management fees. But we should care.

Your disdain for anyone who posts negatives about Romney belittles your status. I think you are a strong poster who backs up your opinions with well thought out reasons. But then you cancel that with your contempt for anyone who disagrees with you. Just because Romney's business history is boring to you doesn't make it any less important to me.

Bain Capital helps define Romney. He has made his business experience a backbone of his campaign. It is logical that it would also be a backbone of those who don't like him. You critized me for bringing up his abuse of his dog and his bully tactics as a young man. You argued against the discussion of his securing bailouts of the Olympics. Now you say we bore you when we talk about his business career.

Get over it. You are supporting a deeply flawed candidate. Your boredom expresses your attitude toward others who don't agree with you, not the topic they are discussing.
