    Romney Supervised Medical Testing Company Guilty Of Massive Medicare Fraud
    « on: January 24, 2012, 01:43:58 PM »

    In 1989, Bain Capital purchased controlling interest in Damon Corp., a medical testing company located in Needham, Massachusetts.

    During the time that Bain held its ownership of the company, Mitt Romney personally sat on the Board of Directors. And during that same period, Damon Corp. was busy submitting fraudulent reimbursement claims to Medicare to the tune of millions of dollars charged for unnecessary blood tests.

    According to federal government prosecutors, Damon was misleading physicians into ordering unnecessary blood tests, assuring the doctors that the testing would be covered by Medicare.

    By the time Damon Corp. pleaded guilty to defrauding the United States Government of $25 million—and paid a total of $119 million in what was, at that time, the largest penalty of its kind in Massachusetts history—Bain was long gone having sold the company in 1993 to Corning, Inc.

    Inasmuch as neither Romney nor Bain was ever implicated in the fraud, it would be reasonable to conclude that while the illegal activity was going on under Mr. Romney’s nose, Romney would, himself, bear only some responsibility for perhaps not being as on top of things as one might hope for a company’s director to be.

    But, according to Romney, such a conclusion would be wrong.

    When Mitt Romney was confronted with the matter during his campaign to become the Governor of Massachusetts, Romney acknowledged that he did have some awareness of the funky things going on at Damon.

    According to The Deseret News-

    “More than a decade later, when Romney was in pursuit of the Massachusetts governorship, his Democratic opponent Shannon O’Brien accused him of lax oversight at Damon and failing to report the fraud.

    Romney replied that he had helped uncover the illegal activity at Damon, asking the board’s lawyers to investigate. As a result, he said, the board took “corrective action” before selling the company in 1993 to Corning Inc.

    So, then, the future Governor and candidate for his party’s nomination to run for the presidency, did fulfill his obligation as a great American and did report the fraud to the proper authorities, right?

    Apparently not.

    According to the court records, “…the Damon executives’ scheme continued throughout Bain’s ownership, and prosecutors credited Corning, not Romney, with cleaning up the situation.”

    But there is an explanation – it turns out that the Damon experience was a foreshadowing of the Mitt Romney to come as he engaged in one of his now infamous episodes of flip-flopping.

    You see, before Romney indicated that he was involved in conducting an investigation while he was on the board of directors, he said that he was completely unaware of any investigation.

    Here’s another shocker. While the company eventually went bankrupt, with thousands losing their jobs, Bain Capital walked away with a $12 million profit—a little over $400,000 of that money ending up in Mitt’s pocket.

    Expect to hear a lot more about this in the coming days as AFSCME has spent close to one million dollars in advertising buys throughout the state of Florida to highlight this misadventure.

    CNN Poll Shows Ron Paul Most Likely Beats Obama In November, Newt Does Not

    Submitted by Doug Eberhardt on Sun, 01/22/2012 - 15:42 in

    The message that needs to be spread is...a vote for Newt is a vote for defeat in November...a vote for Ron Paul is a vote for Victory over Obama.
    A CNN Poll shows Ron Paul in statistical tie with Barack Obama if they were to face each other in the Presidential election this November.
    CNN Poll: Obama tied with Romney & Paul in November showdowns – CNN Political Ticker - CNN.com Blogs
    Newt Gingrich is 9% behind Obama and doesn't stand a chance against Obama come November.

    Democrats know this and want Gingrich or Romney to be the Republican candidate as they know the 99% won't go for either of them. That's why the MSNBC shows with Matthews, Schulz and Maddow always try to promote either of them over Ron Paul.

    Here are the facts...

    Ron Paul can beat Obama on Peace, not war. Obama said he would get us out of the wars "the first thing in office, and he failed.

    Ron Paul can beat Obama on civil liberties as he is against the Patriot Act and Obama extended the Patriot Act.

    Ron Paul wants to close Guantanamo and Obama said he would, but failed again.

    Ron Paul will cut $1 trillion from the budget the first year in office and Obama is increasing our debt by trillions enslaving our youth for decades to come.

    Most of our youth are voting for Ron Paul this time around instead of Obama because they are tired of being lied to and are concerned about their future. They also don't want to be drafted, which is probably a given should Gingrich, Romney or Santorum become President as all they want to do is bomb, bomb bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.

    If you are Evangelical and fall for the Fox News propaganda...
