Juror#8 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) This is so sadly hypocritical of the WH. Progressives and Libs can't really reconcile this crap. It's pretty pathetic actually: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/25/bain-employees-may-have-paid-for-tv-ads-bashing-the-company/ This may have already been mentioned in the consolidated Bain thread. I looked cursorily but didn't see it referenced. I hope not and feel it deserves separate mention. Cliff Note's: 3 current Bain execs are actively contributing to WH re-election efforts. One is a bundler and has contributed $135,000 to campaign. WH won't return contribution even though Bain is the centerpiece of their attacks on Romney. You would almost think that there is some kind of ancillary fiduciary problem with that - which, though confronted with 1st Amendment considerations, is pretty compelling given the corporate and non-public context. Anyway, it's !@#$ed up either way. Edited May 29, 2012 by Juror#8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
