Most millionaire vulture capitalists, like Willard, have huge wine cellars with bottles costing more than you or I make in a month. However, due to his beliefs, he is not a wine aficionado. Nevertheless, Willard makes up for it by being a connoisseur of whine, and whine he did. That horrid newspaper had the audacity to tell the truth about Willard’s record.
A spokesperson for The Washington Post said Wednesday the newspaper would not be retracting a controversial report about Mitt Romney’s tenure at Bain Capital despite a request from the candidate’s campaign.
The announcement came after members of Romney’s staff met with senior editors in Washington on Wednesday afternoon to ask them to withdraw the article.
“We will not be issuing a retraction," Post communications director Kris Coratti said, adding she could not discuss additional details of the meeting.
The Romney campaign has declined to comment on the matter.
The article, published earlier this month, found that under Romney’s tenure, the venture capital firm he helmed invested in firms that specialized in outsourcing American jobs… [emphasis added]

The more residents of swing states learn about Mitt Romney, the more swing states are swing away from him, because he, like the rest of the Republican Party, represents millionaires, billionaires and corporate criminals. They do NOT represent YOU!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
As a vulture capitalist he mad big money eating the remains of companies , and their people , left dead as a result of his preying on them—
He pretty literally killed and ate the people , their jobs and hopes-
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior—-So just what do we learn from Romney ? Let me suggest– Once a Vulture , always a Vulture-
Amen Phyllis! AMEN!!!!! Does a leopard change its spots?
In Romney's case I agree, but by the same token, people motivated to change their lives can and do change.
"The article, published earlier this month, found that under Romney’s tenure, the venture capital firm he helmed invested in firms that specialized in outsourcing American jobs…"
And Washington Post Director of Communications, Kris Coratti, refused to retract it! Amen! Someone not willing to be bullied by Republican/Teabagger enforcers! Shades of the gutsy work of Woodward and Bernstein in 1972 over Watergate! What would ever make these vultures think that they can control the press? Faux Noise is one thing, but the Washington Post?
Lawrence O'Donnell is having way to much fun — he's absolutely giddy!
Joe Biden quoting Rmoney's campaign "We don't understand the difference between off-shoring and out-sourcing" — at that point Biden crossed himself to gales of laughter, his own included. I hadn't seen that side of Joe Biden before, but I like it.
No candidate has become president since 1915 who didn't carry two of the following 3 states — Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. In each of those swing states, Obama is currently leading. And now with the ACA decision, I hope that more people will get the correct information, and realise that Mr Obama is truly for the people. He's not perfect, no one is, but he is moving forward. Rmoney and the Republican/Teabaggers are trying to take everyone back in time.
You understand this well. Biden is extraordinarily effective when he doesn't have his foot in his mouth.

I think he and Ed, Rachel are all excellent!
