John McCain's file on Romney, complete in .pdf

I have been given the file consisting of John McCain's report on Romney from 2008. It's a .pdf and is 200 pages long. I believe a report about this may have been posted on buzzfeed in January 2012, but don't know if that was the complete document. This is.

I'm not sure if anyone wants this, or how to disseminate it. I haven't even finished reading the first 20 pages yet.

non-scribd form.

I hate that site (you could read the whole thing there, but you had to sign up for their service to download and avoid their reader).

having it on their reader is good - having it on my computer and on my own pdf reader would be much, much better.

If you would like, I can probably take some time to do so, or HTML if that is better.

Damon Clinical Laboratories. Romney was a board member when they were fined $120 million for Medicare fraud, which as the time, was the largest fraud ever discovered.

That's just the first one that caught my eye. This guy is a sleezebag.

Candidate Romney Promised He Would Look Into Workers’ Complaints After The Election, Then Sat ByAs Ampad’s Board (40% Of Which Answered To Him) Voted To Close The Plant.
“Romney was routeddespite promising the Indiana workers that he would ‘look into’ their complaints after the election. So whenAmpad’s five-member board, two of whom answer to Romney via Bain Capital, voted to give up and let the paperplant close, the defeated candidate felt little need to make noise on labor’s behalf. ‘That was a local decisionmade on local merits,’ he said after the Ampad plant received its death warrant. ‘My record on creating jobs herein Massachusetts speaks well for itself.’”
(Tom Mashberg, “Romney Backers, Foes Spar Over Plant Closing,”
Boston Herald
,2/21/95)

Anyone that doesn't realize he is a liar and will say anything to get elected is a complete fool.

I believe just one year would come in at over 200 pages.

By the way, I seem to recall a post of yours a few weeks ago about knowing someone who knew someone who had seen Romney's taxes and that something was going to come out (or something to that extent). Maybe I'm trippin' and having age-related memory issues but was that you and have you heard anything new on that front?

No wonder McCain "went another direction" on his VP choice. The pages and pages of his abortion flip-flops alone--"Multiple Choice Mitt" indeed.

But if you start on financials, it is pretty damning. Start at Bain and Iran.

I'll see if I can't find one that is better, but truly, I like scribd because it is browser indifferent in display, much like pdf, only you can't print it like a pdf. It does display equally though.

Content is content, though, and we need as much content in the hands of as many people as possible, and as easy to read. I'll render it to *.rtf or txt if it can change minds.

If that doesn't make this man a hypocrite, partially funding terrorists and totally disqualified for President, I'm not sure what does.
