Mitt Romney's campaign is in trouble. With the growing revelations of Romney's involvement in Bain Capital's "pioneering efforts" in outsourcing American jobs, the significant discrepancies between Romney's story and the numerous SEC filings that contradict that story, his adamant insistence on secrecy about his own tax returns, his Cayman Islands and Swiss bank accounts that exist only to evade paying taxes to the very government he seeks to lead, and the glaring disconnect with the average working American that Romney exhibits at every campaign stop, some have already begun to wonder whether Romney will make it to the Republican convention. If in fact the heat gets to be too much for Mitt, who do you think the Republicans will choose in his place? Who will be the sacrificial lamb?

+31Since we know that Obama and his crew have lied about Bain - why the hell would he step down? The rank gutter politics of Obama is sickening - he should step down.
LMAO... his real father!! as if you knew. You talk about President Obama being a fake but you repeat something YOU KNOW is a rumor by some wacko and its never been proven or entertained that his father was someone other than Mr. Obama.

Jobs for Americans, not Finland or China is job 1
lmao.
Furthermore, not all business ventures succeed. This one didn't. You're having a hissy fit about it? Why not pay attention to all of the investments that were successful?
Oh wait - you can't - you probably don't know about those. Faux?
The Energy Department, offered loan guarantees to clean-technology companies, has been finalizing additional multimillion-dollar loan guarantees in the program at a rate of more than one a week.

Jan. 13, 2009, Bush energy official Lachlan Seward sent his email to Energy Department colleagues saying it was time to stop engaging with Solyndra officials.
Later that day, Seward learned that a USA Today article noted there was a ‘glut of roof top solar systems,’ so perhaps Solyndra might not be able to carve out a market. The Bush administration denied the loan guarantees.

The Obama administration restructured a half-billion dollar federal loan to a troubled solar energy company in such a way that private investors — including a fundraiser for President Barack Obama — moved ahead of taxpayers for repayment in case of a default
As it turns out, the $38.6 billion loan program for clean energy firms that Solyndra benefited from has created just 3,545 permanent new jobs after parceling out half its funds. That works out to around $5 million a job... that are no longer there.
AWESOME !!!!!
