How does a country that is epiglottisly deep in debt get out of it? Soak the taxpayers. Raise taxes and depress the economy even more. Keep investors hunkered down. As if things aren’t bad enough, what Bernanke’s proposing is likely to create inflation – that fortunately has been stagnant for years. Yeah, that’s the ticket to prosperity.

Anyone notice that big money players (like Warren Buffett, George Soros, George Paulson & Vladimir Putin) are buying up gold and precious metals like insane cat collectors? There’s a reason. They all know what’s coming down – a world-wide depression, thanks to an insane U.S. fiscal policy, set up by the Democrat-controlled Congress under the Bush administration, then promoted and promulgated by the Obama Regime.

And it IS a Regime.

Although the regime is sometimes hidden and not in front of the cameras of the general public, it has been aiding and abetting the radical left for decades, with a very patient step-by-step procedure. Although the names change, the mission is the same.

China didn’t fall to communism overnight. Neither did Russia fall immediately. Even the National Socialists began as an unpopular splinter group in Germany. It took decades and more before these evil regimes were accepted as a bunch of good guys looking out for the best interests of the populace.

Infiltrate the universities and schools. Check.
Indoctrinate the next generation. Check.
Infiltrate the main stream media. Check.
Install radicals in high positions of authority. Check
Create a large class dependent upon government for subsistance. Check.
Demonize the wealthy and successful. Work in progress.
Attack and ban religion and charity. Work in progress.

Once those simple tasks have been accomplished, the elites can take over and may God help us.

May God have pity on the rest of the world too, because if what this Regime wants comes to pass, the United States of America, the most successful nation in history, the most charitable nation in history, the most powerful nation in history, will not be able to help them any longer.

And Ben Bernanke is providing one more step on that path to the economic destruction of this great country.

The REAL George Soros: An evil, despicable excuse for a human being. No wonder the libs love the POS

While about 500,000 of his fellow countrymen, women and children, almost all of them Hungarian Jews, were being exterminated by Nazi Germany, this POS Soros, a Jew himself, called it “the happiest time of my life”.

Soros collaborated with the Nazis rounding up the Jews to send to the extermination camps, and confiscating their property and belongings, and said he had “no sense of guilt” about what he did, and found it “exhilarating”, and liked the feeling of “absolute power”.

While some might try to excuse what Soros did by saying “well, he (Soros) was only fourteen at the time”, keep in mind that there were thousands of teenagers who were actively fighting the Nazis through resistance movements in all of the Nazi-occupied countries in Europe.

Who Is George Soros? George Soros is an evil man. He’s anti-God, anti-family, anti-American, and anti-good. Soros is a multi-billionaire atheist, with skewed moral values, and a sociopath’s lack of conscience. He considers himself to be an elitist World class philosopher, despises the American way, and just loves to do social engineering and change cultures.

By his (Soro’s) own admission, he helped engineer coups in Slovakia, Croatia, Georgia, and Yugoslavia. When Soros targets a country for “regime change,” he begins by creating a shadow government, a fully formed government-in-exile, ready to assume power when the opportunity arises. The Shadow Party he has built in America greatly resembles those he has created in other countries prior to instigating a coup.

György Schwartz, better known to the world as George Soros, was born August 12, 1930 in Hungary. Soros’s father, Tivadar, was a fervent practitioner of the Esperanto language invented in 1887, and designed to be the first global language, free of any national identity. The Schwartz’s, who were non-practicing Jews, changed the family name to Soros, in order to facilitate assimilation into the Gentile population, as the Nazis spread into Hungary during the 1930’s.

When Hitler’s henchman Adolf Eichmann arrived in Hungary, to oversee the murder of that country’s Jews, George Soros ended up with a man whose job was confiscating property from the Jewish population.

70% of Soros’s fellow Jews in Hungary, nearly a half-million human beings, were annihilated in that year, yet he gives no sign that this put “any damper on his elation, either at the time or indeed in retrospect”.

During an interview with “60 Minutes” reporter Steve Kroft, Soros was asked about his “happiest year”:

KROFT: My understanding is that you went out with this protector of yours who swore that you were his adopted godson.

SOROS: Yes. Yes.

KROFT: Went out, in fact, and helped in the confiscation of property from your fellow Jews, friends and neighbors.

SOROS: Yes. That’s right. Yes.

KROFT: I mean, that sounds like an experience that would send lots of people to the psychiatric couch for many, many, years. Was it difficult?

SOROS: No, not at all. Not at all, I rather enjoyed it.

KROFT: No feelings of guilt?

SOROS: No, only feelings of absolute power.

Those last eight chilling lines tell us all we need to know about Soros, and more importantly, anyone who would want to associate with this despicable scumbag, who should have been charged with committing war crimes, IMO.

This is very interesting material. Glenn Beck has been developing material to show all the ties that Soros has through the nation and world along with his goals. It begins to piece together the rise of Obama and his behavior in leading the nation along with many members of Congress (in particular the Democrats, such as the election of Pelosi as the minority leader in Congress).

The following was written by Glenn Beck

If you have wondered where Obama came from and just how he quickly moved from obscurity to President, or why the media is “selective” in what we are told, here is the man who most probably put him there and is responsible. He controls President Obama’s every move. Think this is absurd? Invest a few minutes and read this.. You won’t regret it.

Who is Obama? Obama is a puppet and here is the explanation of the man or demon that pulls his strings. It’s not by chance that Obama can manipulate the world. I don’t think he knows how to tie his shoe laces. After reading this and Obama’s reluctance to accept help on the oil spill you wonder if the spill is part of the plan to destroy the US? “In history, nothing happens by accident. If it happened, you can bet someone planned it.”- Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Who Is George Soros? He brought the market down in 2 days. Here is what CBS’ Mr. Steve Kroft’s research has turned up. It’s a bit of a read, and it took 4 months to put it together. “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States . “George Soros”

Soros has admitted to having carried some rather “potent messianic fantasies with me from childhood, which I felt I had to control, otherwise they might get me in trouble.” Be that as it may. After WWII, Soros attended the London School of Economics, where he fell under the thrall of fellow atheist and Hungarian, Karl Popper, one of his professors. Popper was a mentor to Soros until Popper’s death in 1994. Two of Popper’s most influential teachings concerned “the open society,” and Fallibilism.

Fallibilism is the philosophical doctrine that all claims of knowledge could, in principle, be mistaken. (Then again, I could be wrong about that.) The “open society” basically refers to a “test and evaluate” approach to social engineering. Regarding “open society” Roy Childs writes, “Since the Second World War, most of the Western democracies have followed Popper’s advice about piecemeal social engineering and democratic social reform, and it has gotten them into a grand mess.”

In 1956 Soros moved to New York City, where he worked on Wall Street, and started amassing his fortune. He specialized in hedge funds and currency speculation. Soros is absolutely ruthless, amoral, and clever in his business dealings, and quickly made his fortune. By the 1980s, he was well on his way to becoming the global powerhouse that he is today.

In an article Kyle-Anne Shiver wrote for “The American Thinker” she says, “Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England . He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically, almost overnight.”

In 1994 Soros crowed in “The New Republic”, that “the former Soviet Empire is now called the Soros Empire.” The Russia-gate scandal in 1999, which almost collapsed the Russian economy, was labeled by Rep. Jim Leach, then head of the House Banking Committee, to be “one of the greatest social robberies in human history. “The “Soros Empire” indeed. In 1997 Soros almost destroyed the economies of Thailand and Malaysia . At the time, Malaysia ‘s Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohammad, called Soros “a villain, and a moron.” Thai activist Weng Tojirakarn said, “We regard George Soros as a kind of Dracula. He sucks the blood from the people.”

The website Greek National Pride reports, “Soros was part of the full court press that dismantled Yugoslavia and caused trouble in Georgia , Ukraine and Myanmar [Burma]. Calling himself a pilanthropist, Soros’ role is to tighten the ideological stranglehold of globalization and the New
World Order while promoting his own financial gain. He is without conscience; a capitalist who functions with absolute amorality.”

France has upheld an earlier conviction against Soros, for felony insider trading. Soros was fined 2.9 million dollars. Recently, his native Hungary fined Soros 2.2 million dollars for “illegal market manipulation.” Elizabeth Crum writes that the Hungarian economy has been in a state of transition as the country seeks to become more financially stable and westernized. Soros deliberately driving down the share price of its largest bank put Hungary’s economy into a wicked tailspin, one from which it is still trying to recover.

Soros is a planetary parasite. His grasp, greed, and gluttony have a global reach. But what about America? Soros told Australia ‘s national newspaper “The Australian.” ” America, as the centre of the globalised financial markets, was sucking up the savings of the world. This is now over. The game is out,” he said, adding that the time has come for “a very serious adjustment” in American’s consumption habits. He implied that he was the one with the power to bring this about.”

Soros: “World financial crisis was “stimulating” and “in a way, the culmination of my life’s work.”

Obama has recently promised 10 billion of our tax dollars to Brazil , in order to give them a leg-up in expanding their offshore oil fields. Obama’s largesse towards Brazil came shortly after his political financial backer, George Soros, invested heavily in Brazilian oil (Pet rob ras).

Tait Trussel writes, “The Pet rob ras loan may be a windfall for Soros and Brazil , but it is a bad deal for the U. S. The American Petroleum Institute estimates that oil exploration in the U S could create 160,000 new, well-paying jobs, as well as $1.7 trillion in revenues to federal, state, and local governments, all while fostering greater energy security and independence.”

A blog you might want to keep an eye on is SorosWatch.com. Their mission: “This blog is dedicated to all who have suffered due to the ruthless financial pursuits of George Soros. Your stories are many and varied, but the theme is the same: the destructive power of greed without conscience. We pledge to tirelessly watch Soros wherever he goes and to print the truth in the hope that he will one day be made to stop preying upon the world’s poor, that justice will be served.”

Back to America. Soros has been actively working to destroy America from the inside out for some years now. People have been warning us. Two years ago, news sources reported that “Soros [is] an extremist who wants open borders, a one-world foreign policy, legalized drugs, euthanasia, and on and on. This is off-the-chart dangerous.”In 1997, Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote, “Soros uses his philanthropy to change or more accurately deconstruct the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people. His “open society” is not about freedom; it is about license. His vision rejects the notion of ordered liberty, in favor of a PROGRESSIVE ideology of rights and entitlements.”

Perhaps the most important of these “whistle blowers” are David Horowitz and Richard Poe. Their book “The Shadow Party” outlines in detail how Soros hijacked the Democratic Party, and now owns it lock, stock, and barrel. Soros has been packing the Democratic Party with radicals, and ousting moderate Democrats for years. The Shadow Party became the Shadow Government, which recently became the Obama Administration.

DiscoverTheNetworks.org (another good source) writes, “By his [Soros’] own admission, he helped engineer coups in Slovakia, Croatia, Georgia, and Yugoslavia. When Soros targets a country for “regime change,” he begins by creating a shadow government, a fully formed government-in-exile, ready to assume power when the opportunity arises. The Shadow Party he has built in America greatly resembles those he has created in other countries prior to instigating a coup.”

November 2008 edition of the German magazine “Der Spiegel,” in which Soros gives his opinion on what the next POTUS (President of the U. S.) should do after taking office. “I think we need a large stimulus package.” Soros thought that around 600 billion would be about right. Soros also said that “I think Obama presents us a great opportunity to finally deal with global warming and energy dependence. The U. S.. needs a cap and trade system with auctioning of licenses for emissions rights.”

Although Soros doesn’t (yet) own the Republican Party, like he does the Democrats, make no mistake, his tentacles are spread throughout the Republican Party as well.

Soros is a partner in the Carlyle Group where he has invested more than 100 million dollars. According to an article by “The Baltimore Chronicle’s” Alice Cherbonnier, the Carlye Group is run by “a veritable who’s who of former Republican leaders,” from CIA man Frank Carlucci, to CIA head and ex-President George Bush, Sr.

In late 2006, Soros bought about 2 million shares of Halliburton, Dick Cheney’s old stomping grounds. When the Democrats and Republicans held their conventions in 2000, Soros held Shadow Party conventions in the same cities, at the same time. In 2008, Soros donated $5,000,000,000 ( that’s Five Billion ) to the Democratic National Committee, NC, to insure Obama’s win and wins for many other Alinsky trained Radical Rules Anti-American Socialist. George has been contributing a $ billion plus to the DNC since Clinton came on the scene.

Soros has dirtied both sides of the aisle, trust me. And if that weren’t bad enough, he has long held connections with the CIA. And I mustn’t forget to mention Soros’ involvement with the MSM (Main Stream Media), the entertainment industry (e. g. he owns 2.6 million shares of Time Warner), and the various political advertising organizations he funnels millions to. In short, George Soros controls or influences most of the MSM. Little wonder they ignore the TEA PARTY, Soro’s NEMESIS.

As Matthew Vadum writes, “The liberal billionaire-turned-philanthropist has been buying up media properties for years in order to drive home his message to the American public that they are too materialistic, too wasteful, too selfish, and too stupid to decide for themselves how to run their own lives.”

Richard Poe writes, “Soros’ private philanthropy, totaling nearly $5 billion, continues undermining America ‘s traditional Western values. His giving has provided funding of abortion rights, atheism, drug legalization, sex education, euthanasia, feminism, gun control, globalization, mass immigration, gay marriage and other radical experiments in social engineering.”

Some of the many NGOs (Non-Government Organizations) that Soros funds with his billions are: MoveOn.org, the Apollo Alliance, Media Matters for America, the Tides Foundation, the ACLU, ACORN, PDIA (Project on Death In America), La Raza, and many more. For a more complete list, with brief descriptions of the NGOs, go to DiscoverTheNetworks.org.

Poe continues, “Through his global web of Open Society Institutes and Open Society Foundations, Soros has spent 25 years recruiting, training, indoctrinating and installing a network of loyal operatives in 50 countries, placing them in positions of influence and power in media, government, finance and academia.”

Without Soros’ money, would the Saul Alinsky’s Chicago machine still be rolling? Would SEIU, ACORN, and La Raza still be pursuing their nefarious activities? Would Big Money and lobbyists still be corrupting government? Would our college campuses still be retirement homes for 1960s radicals?

America stands at the brink of an abyss, and that fact is directly attributable to Soros. Soros has vigorously, cleverly, and insidiously planned the ruination of America and his puppet, Barack Obama is leading the way.

The words of Patrick Henry are apropos: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

Why libs are dangerous: USS Essex unable to fulfill mission for 2nd time in seven months

This is what happens when America-hating liberal scumbag POS’s like Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are in charge of defense spending, or should I say when they’re allowed to gut defense spending for their welfare programs to give more of our dollars to their voters, the leeches and parasites of America.

I joined the Navy right after President Reagan was elected, and when I got to my squadron, we had 12 P-3 ASW (anti-sub warfare) aircraft. We were lucky if we could get five of them in the air due to lack of parts and having to scavenge parts off of the other planes to get those five into the air.

USS Essex unable to fulfill mission for 2nd time in seven months

February 01, 2012
Stars and Stripes
by Matthew M. Burke

SASEBO NAVAL BASE, Japan — For the second time in seven months, mechanical or maintenance issues have prevented the USS Essex from meeting a commitment at sea, Navy officials said Wednesday.

The 21-year-old flagship of the forward deployed Expeditionary Strike Group 7 was scheduled to depart several days ago for Cobra Gold 2012, an annual exercise with Thailand. The mission was scrapped due to an equipment failure.

“It is true, the Essex will not be making Cobra Gold,” Task Force 76 spokesman Lt. Richard Drake said. “The cause is wear and tear.”

The Essex, known as the Iron Gator, is scheduled to undergo a hull swap with its sister ship USS Bonhomme Richard next month.

The scrapped mission is the latest in a series of problems for Navy ships. More than one-fifth of Navy ships fell short of combat readiness in the past two years, and fewer than half of the service’s deployed combat aircraft are ready for their missions at any given time, according to congressional testimony.

With an ascendant China on the high seas and deep Defense Department budget cuts over the next decade, the Navy is facing “glaring deficiencies that are nothing short of alarming,” U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., chairman of the House Readiness Subcommittee said in July.

Vice Adm. William Burke, deputy chief of naval operations for fleet readiness and logistics, told the committee that the Navy has “a limited supply of forces.”

“When you have these additional deployments, you sometimes impact the maintenance, or you impact the training, which will impact the maintenance,” he said. “So what we have is one event cascading into another, so we don’t get either of them quite right.”

About the time leaders were testifying before Congress, the Essex was limping back into port due to maintenance issues shortly after departing for biannual exercise Talisman Sabre 2011 with the Australians, Navy officials said at the time. It was able to participate in the exercises as a remote command element.

Navy officials said there are many reasons a ship like the Essex might have issues.

Forward-deployed ships in the region experience higher operational tempo and advanced wear and tear as they have a lot more to do than their stateside brethren, often missing scheduled maintenance, Navy officials said.

Lt. Anthony Falvo, 7th Fleet spokesman, said the Essex may have been impacted by missing maintenance.

“Pacific Fleet ships adhere to rigorous maintenance standards and maintenance periodicities per the Joint Fleet Maintenance Manual and other Navy directives,” Falvo wrote in an email to Stripes. “On any given day we have roughly 40% of our ships underway and we are meeting the requirements of the combatant commanders.”

Drake would not specify what piece of equipment failed on the Essex, but said it was not the engine. He added that the ship could get underway if it had to, but it is better to fix the piece of equipment now.

“It will be back up and running in time for its next commitment,” Drake said.

The Essex has been in the area for 11 years, Drake said, and provided humanitarian relief to Indonesian victims of the devastating tsunami in 2005, survivors of the Leyte mudslide in the Philippines a year later and victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami in March of last year.

“The Essex is no spring chicken,” Drake said.

Another take on Romney, Bain Capital, and four more years of the Marxist occupying the White House

First of all, I’m not posting this to defend or endorse Romney. I can name three other true conservatives I’d rather have take on and defeat Obama.

Unfortunately, they’re not running, and Romney, Gingrich, et al, are.

So, what we have now is most likely what we’ll have to choose from, assuming no one else decides to throw his or her hat into the ring.

Whether or not you think Romney is too liberal or not a conservative is NOT the point, not in this election year!

If Hillary was the President, or some other “mainstream” democrat, like Bill Clinton was, then I’d agree that nominating the most conservative candidate would be the way to go.

But Hillary or Bill aren’t the President.

And besides, who decides who is the most conservative?

And who says only the most conservative can beat Obama? We’ll each have to make that decision this November.

We need to nominate the candidate who has the best chance of beating Obama, period. And as of right now, like it or not, that’s Romney.

Taking into account only the choices we have now, Let’s look at who’s running:

Rick Gingrich or Newt Santorum? I mean Newt Gingrich or Rick Santorum?

To me, other than their ages, and Gingrich’s numerous marriages, their voting records show they’re both very similar- Big-spending, inside-the-beltway, big government liberal Republicans, and not the fiscal conservatives they like to portray themselves as.

While they might claim to be conservative when it comes to social issues, their profligate spending habits while in D.C. shows that they’re not true fiscal conservatives.

Gingrich did, however, while Speaker, balance the federal budget, as he promised to do in the Contract With America in 1994.

But he also bought into the fallacy that global warming was, indeed, caused by humans.

And a few months ago, he also said: “I’ve said consistently that we ought to have some requirement that you either have health insurance, or you post a bond, or in some way you indicate you’re going to be held accountable.”

That sounds a lot like a back-handed endorsement for both Obama-care and Romney-care to me.

I will, however, give Romney a pass, because what he did as the Governor of Massachusetts was a state’s rights issue, and obviously did not require all Americans to participate. And I won’t even get into the commercial in which Gingrich co-starred with Nancy Pelosi.

Before he became Speaker, he was your typical, hardly known by anyone other than his constituents back home, spend-happy Congressman from Georgia.

But lately, he seems to think that all the answers to all our problems can be solved in D.C. They can’t, because D.C. is the problem, not the solution.

Jon Huntsman? He was a liberal Republican Governor in one of the reddest of states (Utah), and Obama thought enough of him to nominate him to be our Ambassador to China after he served in George W. Bush’s administration as Ambassador to Singapore. Obama supposedly chose Huntsman because he knew the language and region. So was Obama saying that there were no dimocrats who speak Chinese and know the region?

So, that leaves guess who? Ron Paul! Never, ever. “Nuff said about the “Crazy Uncle”.

As I see it, I don’t see any of these other candidates as being any more conservative than Romney, at least not if you take an honest look and examine their past voting records.

Now, all that being said…

We now have the most radical, leftist, and the only anti-American President we’ve ever had, and he must be defeated at all costs!

Imagine Barack Obama having four more years to “fundamentally [radically] transform America as we know it”, with his European-style Socialist democratic welfare state policies, as he promised to do in 2008, and has done since he took office on day one. It’s about the only campaign promise he’s actually kept.

We can count on more immigration and amnesty for the twenty million criminal illegal aliens currently living here illegally as being number one with a bullet on his socialist agenda “to-do” list if, God forbid, he has another four years to fundamentally radically transform America.

If that is allowed to happen, we’ll have lost our country, as we know it, for good, because those people will be at least a solid fifteen million more votes the dimocrats can count on during every election cycle for the foreseeable future, and the GOP could quite possibly become a permanent minority party for the next two decades, if not longer.

Obama could also possibly have two or three more SCOTUS appointments, possibly having to replace conservative Antonin Scalia, the wishy-washy and insipid moderate Douglas Kennedy, and the uber-liberal Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

While you might say replacing Bader Ginsburg would be replacing one lib with another, you can take it to the bank that he will, not might, but will, replace her with another Elena Kagan-type leftist ideologue, who will be no older than maybe 55, and probably younger, so he or she can wreak havoc on the Constitution and our rights for decades to come, like Kagan (and Sonia Sotomayor, also) undoubtedly will for many years.

There’s also all the additional Federal and Appeals courts judges he’ll appoint, and every one will be as young, leftist, and radical, as he and Kagan are.

At this critical time in our Nation’s history, we need to put what’s best for our country first, and our politics and party second. The MOST important goal in 2012 needs to be defeating Obama.

I don’t care who our nominee is, I’ll support him and vote for him because I care more about my country than I do the GOP or conservatism or nominating the most conservative candidate. A moderate to liberal Republican President would be a thousand times better that what we have now, which is an anti-American Marxist.

Some of you armchair political strategists have been saying that Romney has no chance of winning because of his association with Bain Capital. Dick Morris disagrees.

And before anyone starts dumping on Morris as being this or that, like you do to Karl Rove, I’d rather hear from someone, like Morris, who has actually run dozens of campaigns over the last three or so decades, and won the vast majority of these, from Congressmen to Presidents, and run the winning campaigns of other politicians all over the world.

BTW, since I wrote this, John Bolton has endorsed Romney.

WILL BAIN DERAIL ROMNEY?

By DICK MORRIS

Published on DickMorris.com on January 10, 2012

The short answer is: No! People, particularly Republicans, understand the difference between capitalism and safety-net socialism. They are even savvy enough to have heard of Schumpeter’s doctrine of the “gales of creative destruction” that blow through our economy. They grasp that if we save everyone’s job and everyone’s pension and everyone’s company, we will become so ossified, so indebted, so burdened that we will never be able to create any new jobs or wealth.

They get it that to attract capital to turn around ailing companies, you need either to have a very good lobbyist who makes mega campaign contributions or a good enough return on capital to attract private investors. Obama is trying the first way. Romney did the second. Republicans get this.

They also understand that Romney was scarcely a “predator” as Rick Tyler, spokesman for the new anti-Romney movie, describes him. Critics zero in on GS Technologies, a steel company that, like more than forty others, went bankrupt in the late 90s or the early years of the new century. Was Romney a “predator?” Was Bain Capital? What predator would make an initial investment of $8 million and then up its investment to $16 million in an effort to turn the failing company around? What “predator” would merge the company with a stronger one in an effort to preserve it in a highly competitive global marketplace?

Was Romney a “predator” when GS went bankrupt in 2001? He had left Bain in 1999. The decision to deny the GS workers their pensions and health benefits was Bain’s, not Romney’s. He was out of the picture by then.

And what of the more than one hundred thousand people who have jobs and pensions and health insurance because of Romney’s work at Bain Capital? What of the winners and the survivors who far outnumbered the losers during Romney’s Bain Capital years?

For Republicans to be attacking a Republican for winning in the free market and for turning companies around so they make a profit (without public subsidy) is a sad sight. They will come to rue their criticisms. Bain will not become the bane of Romney’s existence!
