   Isn’t amazing all of the insider trading that enriches Congressmen, Senators’ and their staff is overlooked while Romney and Bain Capital who where hired by corporations in financial trouble to put them on the road to profitability. Sometimes they made money other times they lost money when it proved a company could not be saved for this they are vilified. My I point out this was investor capital that was put on the line and not tax payers money. The Democrats moan and groan at all of the people Bain Capital where supposed to have put of work. When the truth is everybody who worked for these companies would have been out of a job had the company not been turned around. But nothing is said about the 10’s of 100,000’s of jobs the US Government has cost American’s because of outfits like the EPA, Department of Labor, and taxes.. Look at the companies Bain Capital invested in, or purchased outright. AMC Entertainment, Aspen Education Group, Brookstone, Burger King, Burlington Coat Factory, Clear Channel Communications, Domino’s Pizza, DoubleClick, Dunkin’ Donuts, D&M Holdings, Guitar Center, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA), Sealy, The Sports Authority, Staples, Toys “R” Us, Warner Music Group and The Weather Channel. Democrats do not think it is fair that anyone other then they can make money, so you never hear of Nancy Pelosi’s getting exemptions so American Samoa’s (AS) tuna canning industry is exempt from the national minimum wage, and how it is industry which provides 40% of the jobs in American Samoa Nancy’s husband is heavily invested in. Or why she has fended off efforts to bring US Department of Labor works rules to American Samoa but not in the other US territories such as the Marianas Islands. I am not saying Mitt is a Mormon saint but please let’s be real here. Just to make things clear I am not a Mormon, I am an Anglican and I have my problems with the LDS church but not in realm of politics.

     The legal insider trading that congressmen do is a scandal ten times worse than anything Bain did.

     I’ll leave it at that.

     If we hadn’t heard about Pelosi before, we have now. Bottom-line, GOP and Dems, as an old friend used to tell me are just a choice between Coke and Pepsi. Those in power got there by being bought, irrespective of what they avow.
