"Mitt Romney is intelligent, business savvy, and carries himself well. He obviously is not garish and understands "old money walks, new money talks." Yes, there is another adage, but we won't go there. "
However, Romney's connection to Bain Capital, CRC Health, the Aspen Education Teen Gulag industry, Robert Litchfield of WWASP, Mel and Betty Sembler of Straight, Inc. is a huge blemish. Hopefully, he will not run an anti-child abuse campaign.
Now, Mrs. Romney has announced she would like to work with at risk teens.
SUGGESTION:
IF ANYONE IS GOING TO ANNOUNCE ANYTHING, HOW ABOUT SUPPORTING H.R. 3126 "STOP CHILD ABUSE IN RESIDENTIAL PROGRAMS FOR TEENS ACT 2011."
This is a problem. Mitt Romney needs to address it and fix it. Some history:
http://www.bendbulletin.com/article/20091115/NEWS0107/911150428/
http://institutional-child-abuse-news.wikispaces.com/Aspen+Education+Group
It is reported that Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in 1999, although his contractual and buyout clause concerning the number of years attached may exceed 1999.
In all fairness, long after Romney left Bain Capital, CRC Health was acquired by Bain Capital in 2005. Aspen Education was acquired by CRC health in 2006, where child abuse and deaths have occurred. As stated before, unfortunately for Mitt Romney, he is still "the face" of Bain Capital.
Where Mitt Romney erred, he chose the wrong "company" to keep. If character is to be an issue of the 2012 campaign, this is fair game, and righteously so.
Robert Litchfield was appointed to co-chair Mitt Romney's Utah campaign finance committee. Then in 2007, Robert Litchfield was forced to leave Romeny's campaign as Litchfield was the founder of WWASP (World Wide Association of Specialty Programs), programs that horrifically abused children in the US and abroad. Litchfield and WWASP were facing several lawsuits.
In 2008, Mel Sembler (co-founder along with his wife Betty, of the abusive "Straight, Inc.) whose abusive teen programs were shut down by Congress in 1993 due to the "inhumane conditions and treatment" of children, was appointed to Romney's finance chair. Odd that he and his wife were not appointed stripes behind bars.
In October of 2011, it was announced that the Semblers are back on Romney's Florida's Finance Team:

MEL SEMBLER, BETTY SEMBLER, ROBERT LITCHFIELD, AND OTHERS HAVE NEVER BEEN PROSECUTED FOR THEIR CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN AND HUMANITY. LIKE MOST OWNERS AND STAFF OF THESE FACILITIES - THEY WALK AWAY.
WHY?
- MONEY.
- CORPORATE AMERICA.
- CHILDREN ARE AFFORDED LESS RIGHTS THAN OUR ANIMALS.
- THE NATSAP LOBBY IS STRONG AND THEY WILL ENSURE THE BOUNTIES ON OUR CHILDREN'S HEADS CONTINUES.
- A SENATOR'S OR CONGRESSMAN'S CHILD HAS NOT PERISHED AT THE HANDS OF THESE INEPT, PONTIFICATING, DESPICABLE , SOCIO-PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR HUMAN BEINGS.
Governor Romney - When you run with them, you become no better than "them."

from ― Martin Luther King Jr., I Have a Dream: Writings and Speeches That Changed the World
Money (and the power it gives) matters far more than morals to these people, so they overlook any filth in which their donors and buddies are clothed. They adopt fake moralistic positions, and many voters fall for it.
ReplyDeleteRuination of lives means little or nothing -as witness the perpetual willingness to engage in wars-for-profit, invariably sold as needed for moralistic purposes. They shed fake tears for the dead and wounded even as they send more to their potential doom. They do not value life, while pandering to you by saying they cherish it. Only their own, their immediate family, and very occasionally, a friend or two. the rest of us they care not a whit about.
Money, money, money - follow it to the cesspools of power.
