Romney Invested in Medical-Waste Firm That Disposed of Aborted Fetuses, Government Documents Show
And these documents challenge Romney's claim that he left Bain Capital in early 1999.
The documentsone of which was signed by Romneyalso call into question the account of Romney's exit from Bain that the company and the Romney campaign have provided.
............But documents filed by Bain and Stericycle with the Securities and Exchange Commissionand obtained by Mother Joneslist Romney as an active participant in the investment. And this deal helped Stericycle, a company with a poor safety record, grow, while yielding tens of millions of dollars in profits for Romney and his partners. The documentsone of which was signed by Romneyalso contradict the official account of Romney's exit from Bain.
.................................
The document also states that Romney may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power with respect to 2,116,588 shares of common stock in Stericycle in his capacity as sole shareholder of the Bain entities that invested in the company.
Another SEC document http://www.motherjones.com/documents/392936-stericycle-s4-1999 filed November 30, 1999, by Stericycle also names Romney as an individual who holds "voting and dispositive power" with respect to the stock owned by Bain. If Romney had fully retired from the private equity firm he founded, why would he be the only Bain executive named as the person in control of this large amount of Stericycle stock?

(131 posts)I posted the Mother Jones link on as many message boards as possible. I have been to Red State and registered there but they would not let me post as yet, I have also been to Fox News to post it there. I do not know if it will show up on Fox though because they monitor their comments before posting them. I want the MSM to see this, and also as many of Mitt's religious right supporters as possible, also. Not only is the disposal of the fetuses important, but I feel the Bain connection and when Mitt says he left the firm is just as important. This man is such a pathological liar it is astounding.

Posted by
CNN Political Unit
(CNN) A report first published more than a week ago detailing Bain Capital's record of sending jobs overseas continued to roil on the campaign trail Monday, as President Barack Obama's team contested a fact-check that called into question their attacks on rival Mitt Romney, who headed Bain for more than a decade.
snip_
FactCheck's report concluded: "We found no evidence to support the claim that Romney while he was still running Bain Capital shipped American jobs overseas."
They point out "two examples cited by the Obama campaign occurred after Romney left Bain."
That argument that Romney left Bain before the outsourcing took place was the subject of a six-page letter Monday, addressed to FactCheck's director and deputy director, from Obama's deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter.
Cutter wrote that FactCheck's assessment of the timing "is not a fact at all, not by any fair reading of the record, and yet it appears to be central to your position."
She cited an interview Romney gave in 1999, when he said he would still offer "input on investment and key personnel decisions" at Bain, and similar interviews with his wife and lawyer expressing similar outlooks for his involvement with the company.

I don't think it matters to people too much what his investments were/are, as long as the companies were deemed legal. However, fudging on when he left Bain matters because he lied about it and maybe there are other reasons for that.

Think I'm kidding?
"A bill introduced in the Oklahoma Legislature has some folks scratching their heads, as it prohibits "the manufacture or sale of food or products which use aborted human fetuses."
The genius behind this bill, State Sen. Ralph Shortey, (R-Of course):
The senator says that his research shows there are companies in the food industry that have used human stem cells to help them research and develop products, including artificial flavorings.
"I don't know if it is happening in Oklahoma, it may be, it may not be. What I am saying is that if it does happen then we are not going to allow it to manufacture here."
Google that idiot and you will see that we are too stupid to survive as a Republic.

(9,992 posts)"Taking care of remains"?? Does she think Romney was giving them a "good Christian burial"????
ETA: I believe Stericycle was disposing of medical waste and I'm okay with that but anyone who calls themselves "pro-life" and give Romney a pass on this is proving that all they care about is the Rmoney.
