    That's LBJ's "Daisy" territory.

    The dates in the LA Times story show my why Mitt really wants people to think he left Bain in 1999.

    When Mexico, India and China send those jobs back unexpectedly in an October Surprise?

    Wake me up when they do an ad that shows that Romney did something illegal.

    The accusations can be easily turned to around to say that Mitt was exercising his free choice as an American citizen.

    No one says shipping the jobs overseas is illegal (although signing Federal documents that state you are not working for a company that is actually paying you $100,000 a year raises the specter..)

    ...but it does allow Americans to exercise their free choice not to vote for him as a result.

    Boom, it's the seriousness of the charges that is important.

    Like hell it is. Saw this, this morning, and laughed my ass off. It's pitch-perfect, and it's about time the Dems took this kind of battle as seriously as the GOP and their gutter toolbox (the Willie Horton gang, Karl Rove, etc.) have done for decades.

    If Mitzi wants to bitch, just let him recall what his thugs did to Gingrich, this spring.

    Sauce for the gander, Ken-Doll.

    I, for one, don't believe my fellow citizens wnt a tax-dodging, vulture capitalist bully as their president. Gutting and flipping companies just isn't something that creates net jobs. Sure, it's legal, like a lot of the tax dodging in which he engages, but I'd like to think we expect more than that from someone who seeks to be our leader.

    Yep, the American free enterprise system at work. Sending jobs to China and pocketing the money in Swiss bank accounts.

    How American of him.

    Unless Mitt thinks he has a Constitutional right to be elected President.

    I would think someone who wants to be President would strive to argue more than "It wasn't illegal" to describe his actions.

    I believe that the US Supreme Court, in a decision by Chief Justice Roberts, will find that for purposes of getting a Republican known as Mitt elected president, the term "work for Bain Capital" requires that he actually licked the stamps placed on the layoff letters. However, for purposes of getting that same Republican elected governor of Massachusetts and silly forms that are really just overly burdensome regulation by the federal government, "work for Bain Capital" means getting paid a lot of money for not doing anything and having no knowledge of the activities of that company you are getting paid to work for.

    On his ass-ass?

    Sounds serious.

    Almost serious enough you are reconsidering.

    I am concerned.
