Story that will end the election for Romney if proven true

[Vietnameravet]

IF this story is proven true, its all over for Romney..even the Evangelicals will disown him....maybe

He invested in a company that profited off medical waste including aborted fetuses..

1. His response will be: He doesn't know where his money was invested.

[Mr.Bill]

3. The question the Democrats need to ask:

Is there anything this man has done that he will take responsibility for, other than make money and dodge paying taxes?

[redwitch]

31. He has a blind trust, dontcha know.

And expects the American people to blindly trust him.

I've got a little under 500 posts to go until I reach 10,000. I am saving my 10,000th post to say Thank God that moron lost.

[dballance]

2. Good Grief. This Story has been kicking around the net for weeks

No media have picked it up.

Also, why would it end Romney's campaign? The company didn't perform the abortions it just disposed of them. Which is why I think no media have picked it up. It's silly to think this would affect the race.

[Vietnameravet]

4. What?

Are you seriously suggesting that profiting from aborted fetuses would not serious influence voters? I disagree.
The story has been kicking around for a while but if it gets proper attention and is proven true I dont see how it could not have an impact....I mean buying and selling aborted fetuses is like something out of a sci fi horror movie..giving them as donations for research is one thing but making a PROFIT OFF THEM?!!

although I have to admit the hard core right seem willing to ignore just about anything that doesnt fit into their world view

[TreasonousBastard]

10. Bain's throwing aborted fetuses in the trash happened AFTER Romney left...

to run the Olympics. There's no "there" there.

Unless, of course, you want to lie about it...

[knitter4democracy]

11. According to his own legal documents, he was still there then.

He was doing both, managing the Olympics and working for Bain.

[TreasonousBastard]

14. Yeah, yeah, yeah...

you ought to know by now that the date thing doesn't work-- we try to hang him on something and he simply wiggles out talking about the dates. Then we come up with some slightly complicates reasoning why the dates are really something else and everyone falls asleep. Besides, it was a tiny part of a small subsidiary he hardly knew about.

But, constantly shouting from the rooftops that "Romney throws dead babies in dumpsters" might work. They would do that to Obama. They are doing that to Obama, but not so much with aborted fetuses. Yet.

[knitter4democracy]

20. He signed legal documents for the SEC saying he was in charge.

It's really that simple. He was in charge (just like he wants to be president), and this was going on with his knowledge and permission. Unless he wants to tell us he was such an incompetent leader that he didn't know and didn't know he'd given permission...

[TreasonousBastard]

22. So? And how does this get anyone's interest? I don't mean...

OUR interest, but anyone whose mind might be changed?

The left feigns aghastitude hoping the right will be also aghast.

The wild-eyed right isn't as aghast as hoped and certainly going to suddenly vote for Obama because of some feti in garbage can.

The "undecided" in the middle just doesn't seem to care.

[knitter4democracy]

30. I've been talking to some in the middle. They don't like it.

He runs on being a businessman, and then info comes out on how poorly he did that. People remember this stuff from Bush, and I've heard many say they're just not okay with all the lies, the coverups, and now this.

[Vietnameravet]

18. Wrong

This is not about Bain throwing aborted fetuses in the trash after Romney left..but about Romney investing in a company that made money on body parts including dead fetuses..



How disgusting is that? Especially to the Evangelicals?? Is there nothing this bastard will not do for a profit?

[TreasonousBastard]

23. Apparently not very disgusting at all. The story just has no legs.

[jeff47]

15. Here, lemme highlight the key word you're missing:

Are you seriously suggesting that profiting from aborted fetuses would not serious influence voters?

Republicans will be just fine with this.

[John Frum]

24. Weve seen this song and dance before

Republican does something that would END a Democrat's career....the Republicans just ignore it or make up some illogical explanation on why it's ok. They only care about deficits and morality when it applies to liberals. Here is a list of excuses I just made up right now, any of which will be used by Republican voters to make this a non-story in their minds.

1. Romney wasnt head of Bain Capital at the time.
2. It was some subsidiary group and he was in charge of the day-to-day stuff, the pres of a company cant be responsible for what on employee does
3. His subordinates did not tell him about it.
4. The medical company started doing this after Romeny invested.
5. The company didnt inform Romney
6. This is a lie by Obama and the Lame-stream liberal media
7. They will turn it around and say "Oh, so you liberals should love that then.'

There are 7 excuses I made up in three minutes. All fox news and hate radio has to do is say them enough and it will be gospel truth. I even heard Hannity blame Larry Craigs ordeal on liberals. Anything is possible when you are dealing with those who shun critical thinking.

8. David Pakman

It's been on David Pakman's show, but of course that is a progressive show, and not well-known outside of MA.

It needs to get into the mainstream media.

[renie408]

9. I have seen stories that banged around here for MONTHS without being noticed by the MSM

'suddenly' become big news 'overnight'. When something gets talked about by enough people, it eventually floats to the top and gets noticed. So I just posted this article on Facebook where hopefully it will get shared by a few of my friends. If a hundred DUers share this story and they all only have 100 friends each, that means that 10,000 people see it today. If just a few of those people share it with their 100 friends, then it spreads more...and more....and more.

[Vietnameravet]

32. Good

Very good idea..lets push this

[meow2u3]

5. A pro-Obama superPAC ought to pick this up and run with it

Some well-timed ads would make the evangelicals and Catholic conservatives and traditionalists think twice before backing Rmoney.

The ad ought to read something like this:

Mitt Romney is trying to sell you his pro-life views. He doesn't bother to mention that back when he was running Bain Capital, he invested in a company that was involved in disposal of dead unborn babies. Does that sound pro-life to you?
(I used the conservative wording as a means to try to reach conservatives).

[Vietnameravet]

6. snopes

i just contacted snopes.com and they had no knowledge of this but they are going to check..if true we would be damned fools not to run with it..

[meow2u3]

7. Snopes, schmopes

Who needs the facts when we can beat repukes instead? We can't win with the cold, hard facts.

[John Frum]

25. I have a hardcore Repub friend

who posted some clear lies about Obama. I showed him the snopes article that proves it was false. The article even had sources. He brushed it off and said snopes was a Soros/liberal funded site designed to spread Dem propaganda. Seriously??!?! The conspiracy theory never ends with them.

So somehow Snopes.com is part of a liberal conspiracy. It shows, with sources, if urban legends are true or false to fool people into thinking it is a credible site. Then, it anticipates future democratic talking points or republican tomfoolery and makes snopes pages for them to prove validity.....before the event even happens. The gullible then go to the website and believe the liberal version of the truth without realizing they've been duped by the liberal elite.

^^^This is completely factual in their eyes. However believing we invaded a country to capture their oil....well that's just downright silly.

[Live and Learn]

28. Well everyone knows that facts belong to liberals

so I guess that does make Snopes a liberal organization.

[crimson77]

12. ewwwww I used to have to deal with stericycle when I worked for Greyhound.

I used to have to handle all their shipping.

[ailsagirl]

13. I first heard about this on Lawrence's show, but it's been a number of weeks

Haven't heard anything since but, who knows? There may be some action behind the scenes. Hope so.

[Vietnameravet]

16. OK SO

So whats wrong with raising questions about this?? I do think there is reason to raise questions about this...and demand answers...

[Enrique]

27. one downside

it advances the idea that abortion is illicit. It is not, it is a medical service and disposal is part of it.

[Vietnameravet]

33. Good point but

the real point is that this will..hopefully...undermine him with the evangelicals.. and show him to be a total hypocrite.

[Vietnameravet]

17. Perfect example..

This is a perfect example of why we need to build our own talk radio net ...if this were Obama the message would be hammered home every damn day..but as it is..its hardly mentioned..

Romney is hiding Bain abortion profits in his tax returns, says Tampa foe

August 22, 2012
MMD Newswire

TAMPA, FL (MMD Newswire) August 16, 2012 — Republican spokesmen for a rising "DUMP ROMNEY" rebellion today charged that Mitt Romney is "hiding Bain abortion profits in his tax returns" from investments that "would make Herod blush."

Steve Baldwin, former Republican Whip of the California State Assembly, said recent journalism about the actual date of Romney's departure from Bain Capital "has almost certainly revealed the real reason Romney refuses to release any more than two years of personal IRS data: Bain's craven investment in Stericycle corporation — a vendor to Planned Parenthood — lined Romney's pockets with profits from the incineration of aborted human fetuses. Mitt, it's time to disclose your tax returns and everything else about Stericycle."

26. Romney could eat the aborted fetuses himself and it wouldn't sway his base.

They hate Obama that much. They hate us that much. They hate freedom that much.

[bowens43]

29. even if true, the republicon base wont care.

he's not obama and not a democrat. that is all that matters.
