Last thought: I wouldn't be surprised if Romney turned a personal profit on this election.


I'll bet he didn't put dime one of his own money on the line. I'll bet he funnelled all sorts of campaign dollars to family & crony operations. Plus now he doesn't even have to worry about running the country. Goddamn brilliant. I thought we took him. No, he used us to loot out his own fellow billionaires. Now he's got a nice retirement ahead and those fundy haters can just suck it.

Mitt Romney, I salute you!!

Bucky, I won't belittle your post as you seem to like to do to so many others, even when there posts are tungue in cheek and you can not recognize that. It is commmon sense he will profit for this. It was reported during the campaign about the use of Bain capital companies for a lot of the printing and propaganda material. I call it propaganda because as most of us know, there was not a whole lot of truth to it. He not only will profit from it but it looks like he hired all his "buddies" at high dollar to do things for the campaign and large bonuses were given to these people. I am sure there will be favors to be called in.
