Since the only interested investors were scavengers, it would have gone belly-up on its own terms according to the dictates of the market, and I wouldn't have had the opportunity to make a joke at the expense of Romney and the Randroid mopes who eat up that rhetoric.

Bain is not a venture capital firm, it's a vulture capital firm — its usual M.O. is buying distressed companies, stripping the assets and downsizing the headcount (i.e. the "firing people" that Mitt said he enjoyed) before selling off the remains or running it until the investment can be recouped and the business…

Well, being a fellow liberal you know how we UN Agenda 21 puppetmasters are, infiltrating the GOP and making them support godless commies like McCain and Romney instead of Real 'Murkins like Palin and Santorum.

But ... but ... Mitt Romney said Bain Capital was a job creator. How can this be?

It's not like he needs anything more than that to draw in the rubes.

The ones who turn it into a business are confidence artists, and there are lots of desperate and greedy fools out there for them to prey upon.

That van certainly reminds me of those e-mail scams we've all seen, which use deliberate misspelling and cartoonishly ridiculous lines to screen out any potential sucker with intelligence, education, or standards. Con artists/PUAs prefer easy marks and don't need the hassle of victims who might ask questions.
