"Bain Employees will speak at Democratic National Convention" - Whistleblowers?

FOX NEWS:

"Democrats plan to have Bain Capital employees make the case against Mitt Romney at their convention in Charlotte."

"The bold move comes after Democrats have spent millions of campaign dollars on ads shedding light on companies that folded after Bain takeovers. While the campaign is not revealing who will be speaking or when they'll be addressing the convention, one thing is clear -- it will not be favorable to Romney."

Article suggests it could include the "managing partner at Bain" and a second employee who is "very senior member of the firm". A third possibility might be Matt Levin who is also a partner at Bain.

This might get really interesting.

had a comment from the Obama team saying it will be "blue collar", not "white collar" employees speaking.
IMO, it will most likely be testimonials from people that had their lives trashed by Bain's tactics.
If it is former management people, that will be 'freakin delicious!

Or watch as Queen Ann breaks a fingernail and network shills will pant over the pain of her having to get an new manicure.

Or do hit pieces on all the people that complain about Bain, half of the financial shills will call them a lot of losers who deserved to lose their jobs, anyway.

Or the GOP millions will buy all of the commercial time during the convention, and put out so many lies that viewers won't believe a word said at the convention.

I'm going directly to the webpages that are for Obama and not listen to river of lies that the networks will put out. Unfortunately, many Americans don't know anything about who owns and controls the message on mainstream media.

in Freeport IL. They are moving that plant to China. Some of the workers are great. They are good speakers and natural leaders.

These are going to be the blue collar workers like the KC plant. The employees of the companies who got raided by Bain.
