Mitt Romney stayed at Bain 3 years longer than he stated

Source: Boston Globe

Mitt Romney has repeatedly sought to distance himself from some business dealings at Bain Capital by asserting that he left the firm in February 1999, but a review of public records shows that his authority lingered for three more years as Bain repeatedly listed him on government filings as the man in charge. Until 2002, when Romney and Bain Capital finalized a severance agreement, he remained the firm’s “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president,” according to SEC documents. The description was applied even to the creation of five new Bain partnerships a full three years after Romney has said he relinquished all control.

1. Can this guy tell the truth about anything?

MY GOD! Something so simple as your work record.

And to think this guy is the member of the party that impeached a President for a lying about a fucking blow job that he was set up for.

4. Sure he can tell the truth - when it's convenient

What I find striking is that he's so naive as to think that none of his lies will be found out. My theory is that he's lived such a privileged life, and because he could basically do what the hell ever he wanted to, he never learned that actions have consequences.

5. For pathological liars, it is never convenient

They are so used to lying about everything that it becomes second nature to just make something up.

11. this lie may have to do with the abortion disposal company that Bain managed - Stericycle

if so, big trouble for Romney. He claimed to have left Bain before they managed Stericycle.

14. Truth is a metaphor

So is "American People". Just ask Gingrich or the conservatives
on the Supreme Court. Whenever RMoney makes a point he
refers to the "American People" (the 1%). He is not talking to
us. Newt promised the "American People" and now it is an
everyday term.

Mitt's lying seems to be an almost biological imperative now.

6. And so far this morning, not a WORD of this on MSNBC.

Let's see how long it takes to pop up on the airwaves. I'm assuming this is the "bombshell" David Corn referenced yesterday, scheduled to drop today, so if he makes a guest appearance on MSNBC today, he'll most likely discuss it.

10. Ahh, the old "I Forgot" gambit..



“You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes!

You say.. “Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?” First.. get a million dollars.

Now.. you say, “Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, ‘You.. have never paid taxes’?”

Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: “I forgot!”

17. It may have something to do with 'evading taxes', or other liabilities.

Or ' lie-abilities ' ...

It always does, for the 0.000001%.

concretely affected them specifically.

21. Too early to tell...

 

We'll look foolish if Bain comes out with some "official" documentation and legalese that holds up. No way to win votes this way.

26. I am willing to take that bet.

Thanks for your "concern" though.

That you and "Redford" are here posting your "concern" is a sign that this really IS bad for Romney.
