Former Bain Partner Outs Romney

A former Bain Capital partner acknowledged Sunday that Mitt Romney "legally" remained the head of the private equity firm until 2002, contradicting Romney's claims that he left the company in February 1999.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Up w/ Chris Hayes," Edward Conard, who worked at the private equity firm during Romney's tenure as CEO, noted that Romney remained "legally" in charge of the company for at least two years after the former governor says he left to take over the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City.

"Mitt's names were on the documents as the chief executive and sole owner of the company," Conard said. Conard served as managing director of the firm from 1993 to 2007.



MSNBC reports:

Despite Romney's statements that he left in 1999, Conard's new remarks suggest that, in fact, Romney's continued ownership of the firm enabled him to negotiate a better exit deal. "We had to negotiate with Mitt because he was an owner of the firm," Conard said.The legal transfer of ownership dragged on for three years after Romney's informal departure to run the Olympics in Salt Lake City, Conard said, because Romney was aggressively negotiating his retirement package and compensation with executives and lawyers at the company.

"He'd created a lot of franchise value, and we were going to pay him for that," Conard said, adding: "We had a very complicated set of negotiations that took us about two years for us to unwind. During that time a management committee ran the firm, and we could hardly get Mitt to come back to negotiate the terms of his departure because he was working so hard on the Olympics."

Conard's comments are the latest in a growing pile of evidence that contradicts Romney's repeated claims that he ended his active role at Bain in 1999. On Sunday, The Huffington Post reported on a corporate document filed in December 2002 that lists Romney as a "managing member" of Bain Capital Investors. Earlier reports show Romney listed as CEO on 2002 Securites and Exchange Commission filings, attending board meetings for Bain-affiliated companies after 1999, and receiving an at least $100,000 salary from Bain in 2001 and 2002.

The discrepancies between these documents and Romney's account of his departure have become the focus of the presidential campaign, as President Obama's team raises questions about the Republican candidate's truthfulness. Beyond the issue of honesty, there are deeper implications for Romney if he was involved in the company after 1999, as Bain's outsourcing activity during that time has raised concern.

Obama addressed the controversy on Saturday, telling DC-based ABC affiliate WJLA that Romney should come clean on his record.

"Ultimately, I think, Mr. Romney is going to have to answer those questions because if he aspires to being president, one of the things you learn is you're ultimately responsible for the conduct of your operations," the president said.

Betsy McCaughy: Hospital Infection Crusader

This woman is head RID.

 From her RID website:

"When I was Lt. Governor of New York State, I was horrified to hear about patients suffering from hospital infections. I heard from families struggling to understand how their loved one had been killed, instead of cured, by hospital care. That’s why I founded the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths. RID is a non-profit organization dedicated to only one cause: saving lives"  - Betsy McCaughy -


WHO IS BETSY MCCAUGHY?


From Wikipedia

It may surprise you to know but Betsy is a conservative Republican. Who'd of thunk it?! Ms McCaughy heads an organization called RID. RID Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths  and Ms McCaughy have no doubt save 1000s of lives.

WHAT IS RID?

RID is a not-for-profit educational campaign committed to correcting a deadly problem that kills more people each year in the U.S. than AIDS, breast cancer, and auto accidents combined.
Where does it kill? In our hospitals.  What is it? Hospital infection.

The death toll is staggering, at least 103,000 lives a year. So is the economic cost.  Hospital infections add over $30 billion a year to the nation’s health tab in added hospital costs alone. 
These infections are almost all preventable.  An increasing number of hospitals in the U.S. are proving it, reducing some of the deadliest types of infections by 90%. We have the knowledge to prevent this problem. What has been lacking is the will.

That is why I founded the Committee to Reduce Infection Deaths.  (RID): to motivate hospitals to make infection a top priority; to disseminate to hospitals the latest, most authoritative research on how to prevent infections; to make the compelling economic case that preventing infections not only saves lives but also makes hospitals more profitable; to ensure that no matter where you live, you can find out which hospitals in your area have the worst infection problems; and to inform patients about steps they can take to reduce risk of infection.

RID holds forums throughout the United States and in foreign countries for hospital administrators and caregivers.

RID educates the public through television, radio, publications, our website at www.hospitalinfection.org, and our Fifteen Steps You Can Take to Reduce Your Risk of Getting a Hospital Infection.

RID works with state lawmakers and policy makers to develop hospital infection reporting legislation, MRSA screening legislation, and address other public health issues related to infection prevention.

RID lends its expertise to medical schools and nursing schools to educate their students about how bacteria spread from patient to patient and what caregivers can do to protect their own patients.  This may be RID’s most lasting legacy, ensuring that future generations of caregivers know how to “do no harm.” 

Betsy missed the overall problem. health care acquired infections are a symptom of a much larger problem in healthcare. I also think she is a bit naive in thinking that reducing hospital infections will save hospitals money. Sure, some hospitals get sued but most who infect their patients don't get sued. The CFOs to a cost benefit analysis and they see that it is in the best financial interest not to prevent infection. The average HIA nets a hospital $50,000.00 in addition to the original admission and treatment. There are not enough lawyers to prosecute cases for the 2 - 4 million infection victims.

Hospitals that care about patients have low infection rates. Corporate hospitals have high infection rates.

A hospital is supposed to be a sterile place. The truth is a hospital is a filthy dirty place. You are safer working in a sewer.

In spite of MsCaughy's efforts hospital infections are still on the rise. Hospital Infections Still Rising!

There is a simple solution. Patient who get preventable infection while a patient at a hospital should get their entire bill payed plus a large settlement that comes directly out of the pocket of the board of directors and the officers who run the facility.  Since all they give a shit about is money this will end HIAs.

Cardinal Dolan = Catholic Hypocrite

Cardinal Dolan is that gluttonous leader of the NYC Catholic Archdiocese. What is this pedophile up to with his filing lawsuits against against 3 Obama cabinet officials? He like other child molesting Catholic leaders opposes birth control because that means there will be less children for him and his cohorts to molest. That is probably his main reason. This dress wearing pervert is suing because under the law insurance plans most provide payment for birth control. The Catholic Church opposes birth control but why?

What does the Bible say about birth control? NOTHING! The Catholics in their twisted logic try to equate birth control with abortion. 

What does the Bible say about abortion? From the Skeptics Annotated Bible

Abortion is not murder. A fetus is not considered a human life.

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life. -- Exodus 21:22-23

The Bible places no value on fetuses or infants less than one month old.

And if it be from a month old even unto five years old, then thy estimation shall be of the male five shekels of silver, and for the female thy estimation shall be three shekels of silver. -- Leviticus 27:6

Fetuses and infants less than one month old are not considered persons.

Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them. And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD. -- Numbers 3:15-16

God sometimes approves of killing fetuses.

And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? ... Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. -- Numbers 31:15-17
(Some of the non-virgin women must have been pregnant. They would have been killed along with their unborn fetuses.)

Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. -- Hosea 9:14

Yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. -- Hosea 9:16

Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up. -- Hosea 13:16

God sometimes kills newborn babies to punish their parents.

Because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. -- 2 Samuel 12:14

God sometimes causes abortions by cursing unfaithful wives.

The priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell. And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen. ...
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people. And if the woman be not defiled, but be clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed. -- Numbers 5:21-21, 27-28

God's law sometimes requires the execution (by burning to death) of pregnant women.

Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. -- Genesis 38:24

Abortion is approved by the Bible but since the Catholic Church rarely follows the Bible and instead make up their doctrine as they go along, they have no moral compass, not even a broken one. God is a killing machine so when somebody rubs him the wrong he has a hissy fit and goes on a killing spree, no living things are exempt from his wrath, not even fetuses.

 

Cardinal Dolan's flawed and dishonest logic show what a stinking turd he is.

You don't hear the Jehovah's Witnesses pissing and moaning because there are laws that require health insurance to pay for blood transfusions and organ transplants and the Muslims are not going all jihad because insurance will pay for pig heart valve transplants. As fucking crazy and the JW's and the Muslims are even they are honest enough to know that no one will force any medical procedure on them that goes against their religious beliefs. They know that there is no religious persecution in the US and even the Muslims and the JW's know that even suggesting that there is is as it gets. 

 

I suspect that the Republicans have some dirt on Dolan. Republican pedophiles and Pedophile priests have a lot in common. Maybe they have pictures of him raping alter boys. He sure looks like baby raper.  

 

This is probably a sneak attack on health care reform under the guise of religious persecution. 

Jesus and Romney Lie and Flip Flop

(Jesus speaking)

John 5:31 If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid.

John 8:14 Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid.

Like that piece of shit Mitt Romney Jesus is a flip flopper.

Jesus, on His Second Coming

Matthew 24:29-34

[T]he sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken. . . . They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory. . . . I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.

 
JESUS LIED TO CIAPHAS! 

Jesus falsely prophesies DIRECTLY to the high priest (Caiphas) that he would live to see his second coming.  Jesus uses the term “coming on the clouds of heaven”.  This clearly negates the “coming” as the resurrection but as a return to the earth on CLOUDS, not his return in human form from the dead.  Matthew 26:64 & Mark 14:62.

"But I tell you: From now on you will see 'the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power' and 'coming on the clouds of heaven.'"  (Matthew 26:64 NAB)

Then Jesus answered, "I am; and 'you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.'"  (Mark 14:62 NAB)
