to say we should not focus on Bain, when Mitt is running ON HIS CEO credentials, not even his Gubernatorial days. Also, considering that said business made profit only because the banks bailed him out, which in turn made us bail the banks out, it is relevant.

I truly admire Bill, and yes, in 2016, I fully expect to vote for Hillary, especially if the Dems try to run an idiot like Rahm in. However, the fact is, Clinton is way too far to the right to do what is needed, and sadly, Obama, even though we voted for him to be to Clinton's left, has fallen towards what was falsely called the center.

IMO.. Harry does not need defenders. Just keep repeating it Harry. russspeakeasy Aug 2012 #1
