Please, please, PLEASE...no TomKat. No one cares, and there is nothing to be gained by beating up on Scientology (however deserved it may be).
Really? "Jeff Rossen reports: Was Katie Holmes fed up with Tom Cruise's Scientology" With the GOP poised to stop implementation of ACA Healthcare for millions, Low voter engagement up against GOP Suppression efforts, millions still suffering with unemployment and poverty... Lawrence do we really need to hear about Tom Cruise?
How about doing a story on what 18 to 24 year olds are thinking about voting and huge unemployment rates they face?
We are counting on you Lawrence!
The problem Tom Cruize has with his wife's isn't scientology, it's numerolgy. At age 33 all 3 of them a look at him with a clear vision, and said no way, no more, no sheet shirlock!
As to the myth of Romney the outsoucesor in chief, showing a picture of the Washington Post is hardly proof. Obama and the WP hatchet man have been universally called liar, liar, pants on fire on this issue, but they will sell it anyway. It's high time you stop repeating the lies, O'Donnell and MSNBC. Name one company, name one company, name one company...can't do it hmmmmm? Come on, name one company that proves the case that Romney led Bain Capital to invest in companies that outsourced American jobs! If not, SHUT THE FRUK UP, YOU POLITIVAL HACKS! We have a country and an economy to save from bankruptcy and ruin under this amateur president from the Chicago Nationalist Socialist movement.
Grandpa, here's a piece by the Reverend Al talking about Bain in 2006 and a company called Sensata Technologies... Romney has "plausible deniability" on this one because he wasn't with the company in '06, but his income for the last two years shows 13 million dollars gleaned from his financial interests in the company...

And I guess the term "Orwellian Doublespeak" wasn't taught at those fine institutions you attended, either... "Hey we didn't offshore those jobs; we outsourced them. What do you mean 'China is off-shore?'" From the Kos article:

>The answer it turns out, is fundamentally tied to its global competitiveness. See the graphic below. There are only two questions that are asked by Bain before a department is outsourced. Is it needed? Is it competitive at a world-class level? If it's not, it's outsourced, immediately. Where? To a place that is competitive at a global level, ie most likely overseas. We're not just talking about offshoring, we're talking about how Bain views outsourcing, and it is fundamentally about whether it is cost competitive at a global scale. Outsourcing is implicitly tied to the concept of offshoring at Bain.
As the original principal in the company, Romney wrote the business plan and established the corporate environment and "mission." Bain is simply following his original marching orders.
Welcome to the 21st Century, Cab Driver. Of course, Romney has had his $220 million mostly in the hands of a Blind Trust, ever since he was Governor of Massachusetts 2004 to 2008. And of course, as we are all aware, he left his position at Bain Capital in 1999. So citing a company that outsources some jobs (but not all) has been a success and is expanding both stateside and overseas. That's a plus plus. Now if we could just get Obama and the Dems in Congress to stop blocking the House bills to allow global companies to bring their profits back to the US from their overseas operations to be used for expansion here (those profits have already been taxed overseas, you know), we might get off the stick with our economy without borrowing billions of dollars from the Chinese, the Japanese, and the Brits, and the Germans, our four biggest trade partners and holders of our debt, and also to keep from taxing the job creators and the investment class even higher rates than what they pay now!
Comeon! You can do better than that, can't you Cab Driver. And taking Daily Kos and Al Sharpton as your sources? Sheeeesh! What a loser. Try CNBC and the Wall Street Journal!
