8. They're faulting the pension for investing in an Illinois company?

That was successful and employed Illinois workers BEFORE Bain decided to outsource the jobs to China?

What the hell kind of argument do they think they're making here? Faulting the pension for investing in a company that employed its citizens?

And the attempt to tie Obama to the decision to profit by outsourcing the jobs is pitiful. Please people, we all know that this kind of shit is what made Romney his millions. Stop trying to deflect his sins on others.

Big difference between that being part of his portfolio that he probably doesn't even know about tarheelsunc Oct 2012 #1
