A few days ago, I posted the following on my facebook page:

"I never saw a candidate so coddled by the media before in my life. Here is a man who dodged the draft, outsourced U.S. jobs, evades U.S. taxes, won't release his tax returns, banks offshore, invests in communist countries, destroyed hard drives, took his state from 36th-47th, hates half the country, and on TOP OF THAT; has no specifics or details on anything and his tax plan has been debunked every which way."
I thought of that statement as I was reading this from The National Memo: 10 Forgotten Scandals Surrounding Mitt Romney. Most of them we know about, as we are not prone to forget so easily here at 4F. One however gave me a head tilt moment. It was titled Mitt Romney 'Potentially Violating Ethics Laws'. What gave me a jaw drop was the next part:
Throughout Romney’s tenure as governor of Massachusetts, the state did frequent business with a marketing company called Imagitas. The company, which was run by former Bain employees Tom Beecher and Tobin Ryan — brother to Romney’s running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan — had been started based on loans from Bain while Romney was still running the company. When it was sold in 2005, Bain — from which Romney still makes a massive amount of money through dividends, interest, and capital gains — tripled its original stake.
From the linked article:
For three years from 1995, Tobin Ryan, who is now 47, was a senior manager at Bain & Company, the consulting firm where Mr Romney made his name. Mr Romney was at the time leading Bain Capital, the firm’s investment arm, inside the same Boston headquarters.

In March 1998, Mr Ryan left Bain to become a vice-president at Imagitas. The company had been co-founded by Tom Beecher, another former Bain consultant. Their company secured the $5 million (£3.2 million) from Bain Capital in June 2000. Mr Ryan declined to say if he was involved in the deal. Mr Beecher declined to be interviewed.

A Bain Capital source said the investment was made by the company's Bain Capital Fund VI. While Mr Romney had by then taken what he called a leave of absence to run the 2002 Winter Olympics, SEC filings state that he remained sole stockholder, chairman, CEO and president of this fund’s two controlling entities. His campaign now claims that he retired "retroactively" in 1999.
But wait, there IS more.
In December 2001, Imagitas secured a contract with Wisconsin, whose then-governor, Scott McCallum, was a political ally of Paul Ryan, who is a US congressman for the state. Roger Cross, the administrator of Mr McCallum’s department of motor vehicles at the time, said: “I know Tobin through politics, not business”. Tobin Ryan declined to say whether he had been involved in the Wisconsin deal.

Imagitas announced a similar partnership with Massachusetts in July 2002, shortly before Mr Romney was elected as the state’s Republican governor, and just after Tobin Ryan says that he departed the company. Its work for the state continued for several years under Mr Romney’s governorship. His officials boasted that it saved taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars a year.
[...]
Tobin Ryan has since 2009 been a private equity executive at the California-based Seidler Equity Partners. While he lists several past appointments on his biography at Seidler’s website, he does not mention Imagitas.
Paul Ryan was picked as Romney's VP candidate on August 14. Let's talk about Tobin Ryan for a moment. From Fortune/Money/CNN:
Seidler is located just outside of Los Angeles, but Tobin Ryan works out of his home state of Wisconsin. He joined the firm in October 2010, following a three-year stint with local private equity firm King Equity.

Before that, he served as chief operating officer for Tomah Products, a maker of industrial ammonia that is now owned by Air Products & Chemicals Inc. (APD). It was during Ryan's time at Tomah that he first got to know the folks at Seidler, when the firm helped sponsor a management buyout from another outside shareholder. Tomah's CEO at the time, Steve King, is a major player in Wisconsin's Republican Party, last year serving as one of three transition team members for newly-elected RNC chair Reince Priebus.
[...]
So we've now got a former private equity executive running for president alongside the brother of a current private equity executive. Perhaps one of these days we'll learn if either one of them supports the industry's favorite tax break, in which partner profits ("carried interest") is treated as capital gains, rather than as ordinary income.

Paul Ryan's 2010 budget proposal called for an elimination of all capital gains taxes (he dropped that language for his more recent version), but also makes vague reference to closing various tax loopholes. In other words, either he wants a lower tax on carried interest or he wants it treated as ordinary income. He does not appear to have ever specifically discussed carried interest.


Is anyone still wondering why Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan? John Nichols of the Nation wrote this back in August:
The ticket Republicans will nominate in Tampa next week is uniquely connected to the “vulture capitalist” constituency, and uniquely committed to protecting the interests of today’s robber-baron class.

Paul Ryan grew up in a wealthy family with a Republican bent and all the right political and corporate connections.

He could easily have made his way into the private sector—doing business with family and friends, as have generations of wealthy Ryans.
Paul Ryan is a useful tool for our modern day Robber Barons. Of course he wants to stay in office, he's gives them all the right connections.

For all of the extreme social issues this GOP has taken, and for all of it's offenses, this perhaps is the most incestuous of all. Oh, and those other Romney scandals? Here is the list, you can read about them all here:

Posthumous Baptisms

Profiting From 9/11

Potential Voter Fraud

Profiting From Disposal Of Aborted Fetuses

Trying To Block A Lifesaving Abortion

Still Hiding Those Tax Returns (And That Over-stuffed IRA?)

Potentially Violating Ethics Laws (With Paul Ryan’s Brother)

His Son’s Connections With A Ponzi Scheme

The White Horse Prophecy


Amazing.

With treatment on, and me pathetically reduced to sipping warm water so as not to offend Darth Vader, at least I have re-discovered the joys of hot chocolate.

Been drinking tea like a fiend, too. Alas, coffee is now a trigger for me. (icky.)

Not too bad so far this week - I even managed one shift in the floor-hockey game last night. Until I started sucking wind, that is.

BAA takes aim at Armstrong, too.


The Lance Armstrong doping scandal has reached all the way back to the 2008 Boston Marathon specifically, place No. 497.

According to executive director of the Boston Athletic Association Tom Grilk, it's likely that Armstrong's 2008 finish in the Marathon will join his seven Tour De France titles on a growing list of vacated results.

The probability is that [Armstrong's] result will be vacated, said Grilk Wednesday. We just haven't heard final word yet from the higher powers [United States Anti-Doping Agency] as to what specific time periods they have results for. But if 2008 is in their time frame, then there's no question his result will be expunged.

If Armstrong's results were thrown out, it would mean everyone who finished after No. 497 would move up.

Dear male coworkers.

We are dudes, right? So as dudes, when you use the men's room here, use the urinals that is what they are for. If for some weird body shame reason you must use a stall to pee, LIFT THE MOTHERFUCKING SEAT, SHITHEAD! IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO LIFT THE SEAT, FUCKNUTS, WIPE YOUR GODDAMN PISS OFF OF IT, DOUCHENOZZLE.

Thank you.

Two more Romney Scandals for ya...

You did mention the destroying the hard drives in passing, but that was significant in this Commonwealth. Those hard drives are all state property, not individual, and Romney gamed the system to "buy" them and replace the drives with new ones without transferring the information as required by state law...so there's one.

And his voting registration. Voter Fraud is still in play, as Romney is still registered out of Tagg's basement in Belmont, which in no way, shape, or form does he live there. (California Boy.)

I'm mesmerized by Nate's maps.

Just staring at all the red states and visualizing the obviously piss--poor education systems and woefully uninformed voters that must exist in these places.

Are there no women in these states, or have they already reached that state of 1950s stay at home and make meat & potatoes and Old Fashioneds for the husbands whilst remaining barefoot and pregnant?

It truly boggles the mind.

Even more mind-boggling, if they can figure out a computer, there is somebody in a red state staring at the blue thinking equally untoward thoughts about us.

A woman dies and goes to Heaven. She's met by St Peter at the Pearly Gates. She is talking with him about her life and she spots an immense row of clocks next to the gates. "St. Peter what are all those clocks?" She asked. St. Peter says, "Those are lie clocks, every person living or dead has one. They show the number of lies you told in your life." He points to one of the clocks, the hands of which have never seemed to have moved. "This clock is Mother Theresa's, she never told a single lie in her life!" The woman nods, she's pretty impressed. St Peter points out a different clock, 'This one was Abe Lincoln's, see how it is 2 past? That means he told 2 lies." The woman looks St Peter in the eye and asks, "Where can I find Mitt Romney's clock?" St Peter doesn't miss a beat saying, "His is in my office. I use it as ceiling fan!"

Say now, I just had a thought about Mitt Romney and his *blind trust* and all of his money.

If the man seems to know so much about running a successful business -- we should note he hasn't done so until his retroactive retirement in 1999.

And making money? That has been in the hands of his trustee since 2002. Maybe the trustee should be the dude running for the GOP.

Romney is literally taking credit for things that other people have done for over a decade.

Latest thing I heard was at least in my area it would be equivalent to a Nor'easter. So the Cape & Islands and the coast may have problems with beach erosion.

ETA, though that track appears to be a bit different than what they were expecting this morning.

Raine, thanks for a great blog. I am not surprised to learn about Ryan and Romney's business connections. I find it ironic that Romney is saying that government does not create jobs when Ryan's family owns a business that made a lot of money building interstate highways.

I hope that my friends out East will do well with Frankenstorm. I loved visiting Boston and the surrounding area, but getting a second winter storm this early seems unusual.

In some good news, I have another teacher interview on Wednesday. The school has superb test scores. So, I hope that this works out for me.

It's not just the tropical storm - it's the winter storm moving east across the midwest, and a cold front moving down from Canada. When (if) they all meet, it will be a huge mess.

Nothing wrong with some calm careful preparations. We'll wait until Sat/Sun to see how things look then.

My advice is start stocking up on food and water. As soon as I hear about a major storm in this area, I stock up. (We were pretty much stuck at home for 3 days with the big snow storm in 2010.)

I am rather dismayed to discover that I can't play while I'm on the stuff.

Oh, I could produce a tone, but that's about it. No range, no stamina, kept hitting wrong notes, and then my hands started tingling down in a cool cellar.

I gave up.
