Why not launch an official investigation into Romney's "departure" from Bain?

We know damned well the rethugs would do it if the situation were reversed. Why not go ahead and appoint a special prosecutor to look into whether or not Romney committed a felony when he claimed that he had left Bain, when records indicate otherwise?

They don't have the mechanism to push it like the R's do. Most MSM shows have 3 conservatives to every 1 liberal.

Even if Obama wins reelection, we're living in the same country as these assholes. The hate will march onward...

Kept him tied up in manufactured scandal. It was a shame to waste resources that could have been directed elsewhere. Just like this 50 million dollar vote in the house to take away the health insurance changes.

They love frivolous legal entanglement. They do it for fun. Bet it was Koch money that kept the monica thing alive.

Rmoney is dirty. His finances are like a nocturnal filthy old kitchen in a hot, slummy, New York, tenement building, teeming with hissing cockroaches. Flip on a light and you'll see some action.
