Dems Need to Bainboat Romney

When the chips were down, you could not count on John Kerry - Swiftboater Larry Thurlow, former Lieutenant JG, lying his ass off in 2004.

On the other hand, most of the negative stuff about Mittbot and Bain Capital is true. Let's repeat it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it and repeat it until America's short, Snooki-suffused attention span is breached.

Relentlessness Required.

he was not even that.

He was a "wealth vampire" He sucked the lifeblood out of other companies and threw away the carcasses.

I was hired by a company that was on this downward spiral. They had been bought by another company in the same buisiness which itself was owned by some investors in London or somewhere. The other company first took all of the profitable clients for themselves, but used us to do all of the work. Then they came in one day and fired about 30 people, keeping a bare staff to run things until they sold off the assets to another company.

If I were younger, I'd just be going out. As is, I'm turning in, and I figured I'd give this a before signing off. Good night all.
