Great Collection of Nine Arguments Against Rmoney and Bain Capital

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0512/76608.html

Mitt Romney’s record at Bain Capital has been slammed from all sides since the former Massachusetts governor entered the presidential race, including by President Barack Obama on Monday. Here are the 9 harshest attacks:

1. “… Mitt Romney and Bain Capital were involved with what I call vulture capitalism.” — Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Jan. 10, 2012

I thought it was a home office, but maybe just regional. I knew several people who lost their jobs when Mitt shut them down. Not a one of them said "it's okay, at least Bain made money...it's what they do!"
