12:39 p.m. | Updated ANDERSON, S.C. Mitt Romneys Bain Capital looted a company in Gaffney, S.C., and got rich off failures and sticking it to someone else, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas charged this morning as he began a swing through South Carolina.
Signaling that he will join Newt Gingrich and other Republican presidential rivals in sharply criticizing Mr. Romneys earlier career as a corporate takeover artist, Mr. Perry mocked Mr. Romneys recent statement that there were times he had worried about losing his job, pointing out that Mr. Romney had grown up wealthy and privileged.
I mean, he actually said this, Mr. Perry told more than 100 diners at a breakfast gathering here.
Now, I have no doubt Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company, Bain Capital, of all the jobs that they killed, Mr. Perry said. Im sure he was worried that he would run out of pink slips.

Franklin Roosevelt was also from a wealthy powerful family, but, He saved capitalism and democracy from corporate take over. He stood for the best of the American Dream. Romney stands for TWO GUANTANAMOS!
What non-one-percenter in their right mind would consider voting for Romney is beyond my comprehension!

(13,390 posts)for backsliding into his Democratic roots now and then. He did it when he talked about immigration and the dream act style legislation he signed in TX.
That's not to say he isn't a republican yes man.
