Well I’m no expert but I think there might be a little passive-aggressive action goin’ on there too. Ah, HotAir- you meet all kinds!

kg598301 on January 13, 2012 at 4:56 PM

Agree, kg598301Honestly, seems someone needs to take, change, or increase their bi-polar meds.

Too, too much of the same type response in the last week.
And, yes, I am qualified to make that response: by education, 22+ years’ experience, and licensure. I think blink is female……just gives me that feel.

Maybe you need to read this. You sure use the word “lie” a lot.

avagreen, he/she/it obviously figured out that calling somebody a liar is a great way to get attention. It worked with me, but very briefly. lol

Like my earlier post—Newt and Perry kicked Romney in the balls to make voters aware of his vulnerability. And they are being called everything but children of God for doing so.

Sekhmet on January 12, 2012 at 5:26 PM

I can’t believe the howls from Romney’s fans over Romney’s being exposed because………..get this………..the leftists have found the same dirt and are using it……..so CONSERVATIVE Republicans are supposed to IGNORE it because (the Republican Establishment and Romney fans are saying so) even thogh he ACTUALLY DID WHAT HE’S BEING ACCUSED OF???

WTH? If this had been Perry, would the same rules been applied?
I’m seeing all the old lies being against Perry on this forum and others………is there anyone in the “Establishment” saying anything about THAT??!!!????

The good thing is that Perry got destroyed before he was able to destroy the country and take it further down the tubes like he did Texas.

You got that right sister!

What is it with those stupid Texans?

cozmo on January 12, 2012 at 4:57 PM

Talk about lying……how about both of yews coming up with some facts?

So far, all that is alleged about Bain is true.

Aslans Girl on January 12, 2012 at 11:33 PM

No, it’s not.

Bain really did gut pensions and then dump the gutted pension funds on the taxpayer when they got $44 million from the PBGC.

No, they didn’t. This is a lie.

Taxpayers paid for those pensions because Bain gutted them (while lining their own pockets).

This is untrue, and it’s defamation.

Special report: Romney’s steel skeleton in the Bain closet
By Andy Sullivan and Greg Roumeliotis

KANSAS CITY, Missouri | Fri Jan 6, 2012 2:26pm EST

(Reuters) – It was funny at first.

The young men in business suits, gingerly picking their way among the millwrights, machinists and pipefitters at Kansas City’s Worldwide Grinding Systems steel mill. Gaping up at the cranes that swung 10-foot cast iron buckets through the air. Jumping at the thunder from the melt shop’s electric-arc furnace as it turned scrap metal into lava.

“They looked like a bunch of high school kids to me. A bunch of Wall Street preppies,” says Jim Linson, an electronics repairman who worked at the plant for 40 years. “They came in, they were in awe.
Apparently they liked what they saw. Soon after, in October 1993, Bain Capital, co-founded by Mitt Romney, became majority shareholder in a steel mill that had been operating since 1888.

It was a gamble. The old mill, renamed GS Technologies, needed expensive updating, and demand for its products was susceptible to cycles in the mining industry and commodities markets.

Less than a decade later, the mill was padlocked and some 750 people lost their jobs. Workers were denied the severance pay and health insurance they’d been promised, and their pension benefits were cut by as much as $400 a month.

What’s more, a federal government insurance agency had to pony up $44 million to bail out the company’s underfunded pension plan. Nevertheless, Bain profited on the deal, receiving $12 million on its $8 million initial investment and at least $4.5 million in consulting fees.

His supporters say the pension gap at the Kansas City mill was an unforeseen consequence of a falling stock market and adverse market conditions. But records show that the mill’s Bain-backed management was confronted several times about the fund’s shortfall, which, in the end, required an infusion of funds from the federal Pension Benefits Guarantee Corp…
The steel company declared bankruptcy in 2001. Romney continued receiving dividends from Bain after his departure. He accumulated a personal fortune of between $190 million and $250 million, according to campaign disclosure forms…

I’ve been told over and over again on HotAir to rally behind Romney so we can just get on with the nomination.

kg598301 on January 13, 2012 at 11:50 AM

There’s a difference between being told to rally behind a candidate and being told to, “shut up and do what I’m told”.

I like the way you’ve backed away from your lie.

I’m not wasting any more time addressing your silly accusations

Translation: You’ve busted me in a lie so I don’t want to be here anymore.

Maybe you don’t really understand what a lie is.

I understand what I lie is, and now that I’ve provided you with a perfect example of one you do, too.

That would explain why you support Romney.

I don’t support Romney.

blink on January 13, 2012 at 10:50 AM

You’re wrong, of course. I’ve been told over and over again on HotAir to rally behind Romney so we can just get on with the nomination. Read any Romney thread and then tell me I’m lying. So I’m not wasting any more time addressing your silly accusations, or even reading your posts for that matter.

Maybe you don’t really understand what a lie is. That would explain why you support Romney.

totherightofthem on January 13, 2012 at 11:22 AM

What’s most telling is that you’re unable to back up the claims that Bain “gutted” or “raided” any pension fund.

It’s hilarious that none of the articles even state this. People are making this up in their own heads.

Well, then, I’m sure you can provide us with a link to the Complaint filed in court starting the lawsuit for damages arising from this defamation.

totherightofthem on January 13, 2012 at 11:22 AM

Just because action isn’t taken against defamation doesn’t mean that it wasn’t defamation.

To you have anything intelligent to write?

This is untrue, and it’s defamation.

Show me the quote where I lied

kg598301 on January 13, 2012 at 9:58 AM

Easy.

Oh, but I guess we’re not supposed to talk about that. I keep forgetting I’m supposed to shut up and do what I’m told so we can “get this over with”.

You lied about what we are saying. We’re not saying that Newt has to defend himself from attack but Romney doesn’t. We’re saying that Newt shouldn’t be attacking Romney with disgustingly misleading leftists talking points that only further OWS type beliefs.

Again, stop lying about it.

blink on January 13, 2012 at 9:36 AM

I never told anyone what they were saying. Show me the quote where I lied or go find someone else’s ankle to bite.

My candidate, Perry, has won EVERY single election he ever ran for in Texas.

Aslans Girl on January 12, 2012 at 9:17 PM

Madame, please take off your I-Love-Perry blinders and get yourself acquainted with the facts.

FACT: Rick Perry came in next to last in Iowa. This was despite spending more than almost every other campaign and spending months campaigning.

FACT: Rick Perry came in last in New Hampshire*. In fact, Rick Perry only got 0.7% of the vote! Yes, you heard that right. Rick Perry couldn’t even crack ONE PERCENT. So don’t you dare lecture me about Rick Perry’s alleged political appeal. (*I’m not counting Buddy Roemer)

FACT: Rick Perry is in single digits in South Carolina and is in the 1-3% rage in Florida, where he led at one point. (Of course, after Perry started opening his mouth and revealing what a buffoon he is, voters were startled and decided they couldn’t support such an ill-prepared man with no chance of winning any national election.)

Bottom line: Rick Perry has won EASY elections as a Republican in a very Republican state. Excuse me while I am not impressed.

PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN AMNESTY RICK PERRY IS A JOKE! Rick Perry’s and Newt’s recent, desperate anti-capitalism rants to try to hurt Romney have only reinforced what we all already knew: RICK PERRY IS NOT PRESIDENTIAL MATERIAL.

So far, all that is alleged about Bain is true.

Aslans Girl on January 12, 2012 at 11:33 PM

Aslan Girl, please stop the dishonesty in your pathetic attacks against Romney and free enterprise. We know that you are infatuated with Rick Perry, despite the fact that Rick Perry is an incompetent buffoon with a floundering campaign, but I find it disgusting the way you will take the side of Obama and the “Occupy Wall Street” bums by attacking Romney for practicing capitalism.

I realize that you probably rationalize your support for Obama’s socialist rhetoric by believing that anything that helps your guy Perry is okay with you. That’s sad.

The country will never, ever elect an incompetent bozo like Rick Perry who supports illegal alien amnesty and who goes after honorable, successful men like Mitt Romney for being honest, successful businessmen. Rick Perry is a joke!

Perry (like Newt) is desperate and, like Obama, all he can offer after everything else he tried has failed is class warfare and class envy. Turns out that Rick Perry is more than just an empty suit, know-nothing rodeo clown… he’s also a hypocritical, say-anything-to-win (including agreeing with Saul Alinsky and moveon.org) bottom-feeding politician who simply appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Back to the point of the article:

Newt and Perry messed up royally and proved they aren’t presidential timber.

G & P attacking the essence of capitalism like a couple of Alinski-ettes. Just turns my stomach.

What’s more, a federal government insurance agency had to pony up $44 million to bail out the company’s underfunded pension plan. Nevertheless, Bain profited on the deal, receiving $12 million on its $8 million initial investment and at least $4.5 million in consulting fees.

Asians Girl, none of this supports the defaming claims that you made.

This article doesn’t claim that Bain gutted or raided the pension fund. YOU made that up in your head.

So far, all that is alleged about Bain is true.

Aslans Girl on January 12, 2012 at 11:33 PM

No, it’s not.

Bain really did gut pensions and then dump the gutted pension funds on the taxpayer when they got $44 million from the PBGC.

No, they didn’t. This is a lie.

Taxpayers paid for those pensions because Bain gutted them (while lining their own pockets).

This is untrue, and it’s defamation.

Since Bain is being accused of being ruthless and destroying peoples’ lives, and if proven true, then McCain is arguing that the “essence” of the GOP is ruthless and detroys peoples’ lives.

Bain is being FALSELY accused of being ruthless and destroying people’s lives.

It won’t be proven true.

think about who you are agreeing with when you defend Mitt.

I’m not agreeing with Romney, I’m defending him from the lies being told.
