18 different listings for Bain Capital, 5 of which are listed at over $1 million each, on page 34 of 47. I'm not going through the rest of it, that's proof enough for me and anyone else reading this thread.

This DOESN"T mean anything!!

However, believe what you are going to believe!!

I will just agree to disagree with you on this, and end it right here.

I'm more concerned with his stance against amnesty, and that of the viable GOP candidates, he is the only one who has taken a stand against pathway amnesty (along with Thompson) and is getting slammed for this by many of the beltway elites. And I will in no way vote for McCain, Giuliani or Huckabee.

By all accounts, Romney is a very intelligent and successful fellow. Some may not like him because of this or call him "inauthentic," but I respect him.

I agree!!! I think that he will not only help us to stop this illegal invasion----but also help to save our economy!!!

If you look at Schedule C on page 41 of Mitt's financial report, he fully explains in detail the Bain Capital issue.

I also checked out opensecrets to see how many donations he's received from Bain - $93,700. To me, this is a good sign because this means the people he worked with like him.

Also of note, one Bain donor gave $500 to Clinton and several Bain personnel donated to Obama.

Wow Bren,

You ask me for proof and then when I give you proof you tell me it doesn't prove anything. If you'd taken the time to follow the link you could see for yourself that Mitt still holds somewhere between $10 to $50 million in Bain Capital. Now that doesn't prove that they have his cell phone number on speed dial, but it does prove that he's still connected to the company that he FOUNDED that's representing a Chinese company in the buyout and takeover of an American defense contractor.

Doesn't it???

According to poncy David Brooks of the New York Times, all of the Republican candidates "hate Romney". I put another check mark by his name when I heard that.
