"Now Mitt Romney has taken that a step further, offering Americans a gated candidacy, with whole areas walled off to keep “you people” from knowing about them."

Deceptive New Romney Ad Is Key Test For Media

7/19/12: "The new ad actually edits together snippets of words and sentences to make it sound as if President Obama said something he did not say, and then attacks him for saying it." http://ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2012072919/new-romney-ad-key-test-media
7/23/12: "Apparently the press is not calling the Romney campaign out for using a fabricated quote in their new ad. Seeing this, at least one other campaign has launched an ad that also fabricates a quote.Got Away With It -- So Doubled Down On Deception
The Romney campaign got away with running an ad last November that claimed President Obama had said something he did not say. They were caught using a quote in an ad portraying Obama as saying, "If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose," when Obama had really said (four years previously), "Senator McCain's campaign actually said, and I quote, 'If we keep talking about the economy, we're going to lose."

Mitt Romney's Bain Capital TIMELINE

http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2012/07/mitt-romney-bain-capital-timeline
2003:
"Romney files a financial disclosure form claiming 100 percent ownership in Bain Capital for the previous years, and six-figure compensation from the company in 2001 and 2002."

BLOOMBERG: "Romney’s Bain Yielded Private Gains, Socialized Losses"

"What’s clear from a review of the public record during his management of the private-equity firm Bain Capital from 1985 to 1999 is that Romney was fabulously successful in generating high returns for its investors. He did so, in large part, through heavy use of tax-deductible debt, usually to finance outsized dividends for the firm’s partners and investors. When some of the investments went bad, workers and creditors felt most of the pain. Romney privatized the gains and socialized the losses."
 http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-07-15/romney-s-bain-yielded-private-gains-socialized-losses.html
"While Bain Capital wasn’t alone in using financial engineering to turbo-charge its returns, it was among the most aggressive under Romney’s leadership. Enriching investors by taking leveraged bets isn’t a qualification for a job requiring long-term vision and concern for public welfare. It is appropriate to point that out to voters."

Soros! Yes, He’s Rich — But That Doesn’t Excuse GOP’s Dark Millions

http://www.nationalmemo.com/soros-yes-hes-rich-but-that-doesnt-excuse-gops-dark-millions/
"So next time a Republican flack starts carping about Soros, remember that it’s just another phony talking point. Their team likes this tilted playing field just the way it is, which is why their stooges on the Supreme Court and in Congress have created a system that encourages unlimited influence for corporate wealth in an atmosphere of secrecy – and why they will block every Democratic initiative toward disclosure and balance. It’s the only way they can elect an unpopular candidate whose policies repel most Americans."

It's ROMNEY's OWN Voter Fraud!!!!

"... is the likelihood that those tax returns would reveal indisputable evidence that this year's GOP standard-bearer is an actual voter fraud felon himself..."

CPAC's boy wonder swings left

"..a lot of what I said was ideological blather that really wasn’t meaningful. It wasn’t me thinking. It was just me saying things I had heard so long from people I thought were interesting and just came to believe for some reason, without really understanding it. I understood it enough to talk about it but not really enough to have a conversation about it.”

Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show

"But documents filed by Bain and Stericycle with the Securities and Exchange Commission—and obtained by Mother Jones—list Romney as an active participant in the investment. And this deal helped Stericycle, a company with a poor safety record, grow, while yielding tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners. The documents—one of which was signed by Romney—also contradict the official account of Romney's exit from Bain."
