"I see that you've just arrived and are having a private moment.

16. Excellent. But there's lots of dems who got rich the same way.

[ProSense]

18. Does everything

"Excellent. But there's lots of dems who got rich the same way."

...need to be subjected to false equivalencies and obfuscation?

How many Democrats who "got rich the same way" are running for President of elected office?

I mean, regardless of the subject matter, someone can chime in that "Dems do it too."

20. edit for my error. you want to make romney's participation a campaign issue. fine.

but plenty of democratic pols do the same thing, either directly or by buying shares.

if it's an issue for romney, it's an issue for *every* politician who does it or takes money from those who do it.

Report: Democrats receive more private-equity cash than GOP
By Peter Schroeder - 01/10/12 02:41 PM ET

Mitt Romney is taking fire from all sides for his tenure at private-equity firm Bain Capital, but congressional Democrats actually took more money from that industry than Republicans in the last several years.

Over the time analyzed, then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama took in the largest amount, boosted in large part by the more than $1 million in private-equity contributions made in 2008 as he took on a presidential run. In 2011, Obama received $141,501 in contributions from private-equity sources as president.

i really despise how *both* sides of the aisle attack the other for doing the same things that they themselves are doing. romney isn't an anomaly.
