[1] “I’m not a big game hunter,” Romney memorably told reporters in 2007. “I’ve made it very clear: I’ve always been, if you will, a rodent and rabbit hunter. All right? Small varmints, if you will.”
That line drew ridicule, as did the revelation that Romney has not applied for a hunting license in any of the four states where he owns homes.
But with the GOP nomination nearly in his grasp, Romney stands to benefit from the NRA’s support — and anti-Obama push.
[2] But Leder does differ from Romney in one significant fashion: how he likes to have a certain sort of fun. In August 2011, the New York Post reported […]
At Romney's fundraiser at Leder's Boca Raton home, not a single sex act was recorded.
[3] While the strong dollar may be a loser for most people, it does offer large benefits for people like Mitt Romney, Robert Rubin and other members of the one percent. These people are all heavily involved in global business and their money goes further when buying into China, India and elsewhere when the dollar is stronger.
[4] During what Mitt Romney frequently references as his “25 years spent in the private sector,” Romney took over companies and made millions in profits while laying off thousands workers and bankrupting businesses. As the New York Post wrote, “there’s little question he made a fortune from businesses he helped destroy.”
[5] Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney was in St. Louis on Friday seeking to reassure the nation's largest gathering of gun owners that he would be an aggressive defender of gun rights if elected president and that President Obama would be the opposite in a second term.
[6] During a campaign stop in Virgina this past week, Republican nominee for president, Mitt Romney, brought Pat Robertson with him. The controversial Christian televangelist has been overly critical of the Democratic party, calling them "the party of gays, godlessness and whatever" earlier this week during his show "The 700 Club."
[7] In March of 2012, Governor Romney stated at a campaign event that he was impressed with China's infrastructure during his trip to see the olympics there. He states that the US could look to China as an example of how lowered regulation can lead to greater productivity.
[8] Mr. Keck described in an interview taking Mr. Romney into rugged country in November 2010 for two days of hunting elk and one for shooting pheasants on a private ranch. “He admittedly didn’t grow up hunting,” Mr. Keck said, “but let me tell you, he accounted for a number of birds on that day.”
It remains to be seen whether Second Amendment advocates will enthusiastically come out for Mr. Romney in November.
[9] A 23-year-old male worker jumped off a building in Foxconn's Chengdu factory Wednesday (June 13) afternoon, said Chengdu police authority's official Weibo (the Chinese Twitter).
[10] […] Chinese billionaires understand a guy who has had a Swiss bank account. Thanks to rampant corruption and zero transparency, many Communist Party bigwigs are enriching themselves and their families. Few things matter more to these plutocrats than finding ways to spirit their money out of China into opaque tax jurisdictions overseas.
[11] Of course globalization is here to stay, and macroeconomic forces have sent much American manufacturing to China, probably never to return. What makes this investment by Romney news is what Romney himself has said about outsourcing. He demanded, and failed to get, a retraction from The Washington Post after it reported that Bain Capital, while he was there, invested in companies that outsourced […]
[12] Romney's Global-Tech deal adds a new dimension to the debate over Romney and outsourcing. Whether or not he was at the helm when Bain invested in US firms that did or did not ship jobs overseas, Romney was in command when a company he owned and controlled bought a large stake in a Chinese venture that counted on American companies sending manufacturing—and that means jobs—to China
