Re: 2012 US Election -- Round 2
Yes, we need Romney to fix the economy like we need a lobotomy.Coito ergo sum wrote:Of the two choices we have at present, I'll take a Romney first term over an Obama second term. Romney is not of the religious right, and his Mormonism is such that it has to be kept sort of behind the scenes or the Christians will hang him. So, maybe, just maybe, he can stick to fiscal issues.Gawdzilla Sama wrote:More reason not to put them in the White House.
Mitt Romney After Bain Capital: Leaked Documents Connect Candidate To Adelson, Casinos, Cigarettes
(Read the full Gawker report here)http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/2 ... r=PoliticsA treasure trove of leaked documents about Mitt Romney's finances may not contain earth-shattering revelations, but could at least make life awkward for the presumptive Republican nominee for president.
The documents were obtained and posted online by Gawker at a time of unusually high interest in Romney's finances. Though they are not nearly as revealing as the years of tax returns he refuses to release might be, they still have enough information and detail to make Romney uncomfortable. They show he has money indirectly invested in companies on which the Mormon church might frown and also highlight the lengths to which his complicated investments are shielded from taxes.
For example, Romney is invested in Sankaty High Yield Partners II LP, a debt fund affiliated with the private-equity firm Bain Capital, which Romney co-founded. Sankaty has loaned money to a variety of questionable companies, including the now-embattled Las Vegas Sands Corp., according to documents obtained by Gawker.
Las Vegas Sands, which is owned by famed Republican donor Sheldon Adelson, is currently facing multiple Justice Department inquiries. The first focuses on possible violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a U.S. anti-bribery law, related to the company’s casinos in Macau, China. The second is probing allegations that Las Vegas Sands failed to report millions of dollars of possibly laundered money transferred to its casinos by two big-time gamblers.

Bishop Paprocki: Voting Democratic puts Soul at Risk, Party backs "Intrinsic Evils"
Bishop Paprocki: Voting Democratic puts Soul at Risk, Party backs "Intrinsic Evils"
Democrats Endorse 'Intrinsic Evils' and Supporters put their 'Soul in Serious Jeopardy' Bishop Paprocki concludes with a warning that while he is “not telling you which party or which candidates to vote for or against,” backing the Democratic Party may put your eternal salvation at risk: “a vote for a candidate who promotes actions or behaviors that are intrinsically evil and gravely sinful makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy.”
