Thread: Fox news is really skewing Romney today

The thing that bothers me about Romney is that he comes across as wanting to help the average American, but his backers tell a different story. Somebody posted the list here somewhere and as I recall they are all big bankers and corporations. Sounds like another Bush Presidency to me. Label me skeptical,but I'm not ready to fall for all that smooth talk again. He may have done some things to correct illegal immigration in the past, but his flip flopping tells me that once in office he'll listen to his backers before listening to the American people. Of course, this is just my opinion on this candidate and is not meant to sway anyone's else's mind on their choice.

I just a quick word on Rudi , I think he is all but toast at this point,

If he was the "national" front runner with a strategy of waiting for
Florida , Wouldn't he have done a bit better in the first 4 states ?

I mean the guy is in the sewer and I don't know of any repubs
that would trust him as far as they could throw him

Same with McCain , The numbers coming from real repubs last night
were against him at over 2 to 1

I think he is toast also

I agree with the assesment of Ghoulani.. I have not heard or seen one ad from his campaign. And I live in FL. Steve Forbes is on radio show pimping Rudi quite a bit, but that is it! No Print, No TV, and No Radio spots.

He is running a few tv ads here in Vegas , but nothing really great
More of the Dems "change" thing coming from Rudi

I wouldn't entirely write off Giuliani yet. He may win Florida, some N/E states & others, and will get some delegates. And the media will push him big time after this.

Yes , If ol Rudi gets a win they will be pushing him big time

Bob
I respect your choice and questions

We don't really know for sure how any of them will act in office
but we do know who will push hard for amnesty , that one we know for sure

starting to come out.

Last night they purposed billions in givaways to minorities , now there is nothing wrong with minority American citizens getting fair and equal treatment but what about the rest of the country?

They talked like we didn't even exist last night , I just hope
middle America took note

I hope so too. I remember when Bill C ran in late 1991, early 1992 going around the country talking about "fighting for the forgotten middle class." Now Hillary has thrown this under the bus.

That is your opinion, and that is fine. But, can you please post "FACTS".

There is NO way that any business person today cannot be connected to the world market in some way------it is whether or not they are conducting FAIR trade/business which is the issue.

Even taking the auto industry for example-----if there was not a world market----our auto industry would NOT have a chance.

At this point Hillary only advocates for illegal aliens from
what I have seen

Romney did not spend a dime in Wyoming and won..so the charge that he buys elections is not true..He will do well in Nevada..

I am amending this post because this is about Fox Bias Not about candidates and it is breaking the rules to get into arguments about candidates and their relative merits..
Nuff Said..

Bain Capital LLC is a Boston, Massachusetts-based private equity firm founded in 1984 by Mitt Romney. Romney was the Governor of Massachusetts from 2003 to 2007. In addition to Romney, the firm was also founded by two other partners from the consulting firm Bain & Company: T. Coleman Andrews III and Eric Kriss. Bain Capital was originally conceived as a combined equity start-up and leveraged buyout fund, an innovative strategy at the time.

[edit] History
The original $37 million fund was raised entirely from private individuals in mid-1984, led by Ricardo Poma, a Salvadorean businessman. One of the fund's first start-up investments was Staples, Inc., the $15 billion office supply retailer. The funding enabled Staples to expand from one store in 1986 to nearly 1,700 in 2006. Bain Capital founded, acquired or invested in hundreds of companies including Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Brookstone, Domino's Pizza, Sealy, Guitar Center and The Sports Authority.

In addition to the three founding partners, the early Bain Capital team included Fraser Bullock, Robert F. White, Joshua Bekenstein, Adam Kirsch and Geoffrey S. Rehnert. Bullock joined Romney as the Chief Operating Officer for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games when Romney left Bain in 2001 to lead the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. [1][2]

Twenty years after its inception, Bain Capital currently manages $50 billion in assets, and holds positions in major companies including Toys R Us, Burger King and Unisource

[quote:14gepcin]On September 28, 2007, Bain and the Chinese networking company Huawei Technologies acquired 3Com for $2.2 billion in cash.

I wont go into a leverage buyout lesson, but they are NOT good for the average person and has contributed to the financial mess we are in today.. They were one of the first to do it.

Look where he got his Money to start the Company. Plus, Bain has a huge investment in various Chinese operations. Ths highlighted deal should be nixed on security concerns.

I am not making any judgements.. only putting this out there for info..[/quote:14gepcin]

This was brought up the other day, and cleared up the other day.

Really, you do not want me to start posting stuff under the threads about Ron Paul.

For example: What exactly is Ron Paul going to do to stop the NAU-----when he definitely does NOT want a fence, has no plans on going after employers who are hiring illegals, and made it clear that he does not think that there will be a problem with having our borders WIDE open----as long as the welfare system is not in place.

So, please quit posting all of the GARBAGE under the threads about Romney.
