Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia demanded that President Obama’s campaign end its ads attacking Romney

Romney supporters attack Obama for Bain attacks

The fallout continues following the Boston Globe’s report Thursday noting that Bain Capital documents indicate Mitt Romney was still with the company after 1999, as Romney campaign surrogate Gov. Bob McDonnell of Virginia demanded that President Obama’s campaign end its ads attacking Romney’s time with the company.

“All of these attacks are things that happened after Mitt Romney left as the managing director of Bain… To the degree that there is any truth to these sorts of outsourcing allegations, they happened after 1999 when he was not the managing director,” McDonnell, often mentioned as a possible vice presidential candidate, said. “It’s false and he ought to pull those ads.”

The Obama campaign has made Romney’s tenure at Bain the center of several campaign ads, alleging that Romney was responsible for Bain investing in companies engaged in outsourcing, claims that the Romney campaign has vehemently denied.

The Globe, whose story reignited the political firestorm, has stood by its reporting.

Only lying GOP commercials should be shown. Of how Obama is going to take away your precious guns and bibles, and give out freebies to everyone who is lazy and out of work.

As a lifelong resident of the Commonwealth of Virginia I offer my sincerest apologies for foisting both ken doll bob and brainless Ken upon the people of the United States. i did everything I could to get people to vote for Creigh Deeds but no one listened and look what they have done. I wish Northern Virginia would secede from the rest of the state.

Did he threaten to hold his breath until he turned blue?

Did he stomp his tiny feet for emphasis?

Wish I would've been there to watch him "demanding".

Shouldn't that be an easy question to answer?

Who ran Bain for three years if it wasn't Romney?

Why haven't we heard a name during all this?

Friends like that who needs enemies...Ol Vaginal Probe McDonnell did was just put a flashing neon sign on Romney's Bain Bane.


Romney is willing to allow people to speculate the worst about his finances, than show you what is actually in them...because IT IS worse than whatever you can imagine. Think about it.

Romney lied on his resume, he either lied to the SEC, or he lied to US. He has been proven to be a liar. We have no idea what are in his tax returns, it must be bad for Romney to pick your imagination over the real thing. I don't know about you, but I don't hire liars...it's like asking for trouble.
