Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsIf Mittens wasn't running Bain from 1999-2002, then WHO the fuck was????
This question is the elephant in the living room, the question just
WAITING to be asked, to be pushed to the front of the discussion.
I believe Rmoney is lying of course... and to prove he's lying all
an interviewer would need to do is ask him to "prove" what he's
saying by producing documentation of who WAS running Bain.
Surely -- if his claims of being 100% absent and irrelevant are
true -- he shouldn't have ANY trouble finding some documentation
to support that claim from Bain's own records.
Why isn't this question being asked? Or has it and I missed it?

(19,326 posts)The Public cannot be expected to believe ...
a) that Rmoney's signature is on Bain SEC reporting documents
as Pres.Chairman of Board, CEO, etc. through 2002.
b) that Mittens had absolutely NOTHING to do with running
the company during that period, and
c) that some UN-NAMED OTHERS actually ran the company,
without providing a shred of evidence pointing to exactly WHO
WAS running the company if Mitt wasn't.
If what Rmoney is claiming is true, it shouldn't be difficult to
simply provide documents from that period proving what he's
claiming. But he's NOT doing that; rather he's spending his
airtime accusing Obama of "not playing fair" to ask such questions.
Not a plausable claim to voters. Hell, even some Republicans are
now asking for him to release all his tax reports. This simply can
NOT go well for Rmoney, no matter which way you slice it; and
I'm loving it.

(35,015 posts)A man owns a company, decides to take off to have fun with the Olympics, still owns the company, his signature is all over legal documents, yet he is not accountable for anything.
That's what we're being asked to believe. Crazy shit.

(19,326 posts)which is WHY the question I posit is totally relevant.
If Mittens can't document (like with legal papers of SOME
kind, even emails ... SOMEthing .. that illustrates beyond
a shadow of a doubt that Mr. X <--was the guy in charge>
It defies reason to assert that NOBODY was in charge, so
if somebody ELSE was in charge, name names Mittens.
But to each his own, I'll agree to disagree with you on this.

(14,077 posts)Conard, a partner at Bain, said it was a committee.
I didn't believe much that Conard said. But, he did claim that outsourcing is good for the economy and that people think otherwise because they are looking at it from a micro-perspective - you know, they sent my job to China,. But Conard claims that it really improved job prospects in the US and cited all kinds of bullshit statistics to prove the middle class is better off than it used to be. Very credible.

(19,993 posts)I think Chris asked him about supporting documents a couple times. It pegged my bullshit meter.

(19,326 posts)If there are NO documents to prove this claim, then
it is a boldfaced lie on its face.
GAME OVER for Mittens.
