Mitt Romney position undercuts Bain claim

Served on board of company tied to firm until ’01

WASHINGTON – The Lifelike Co., a Colorado manufacturer of toy dolls, bedeviled Bain Capital and Mitt Romney, a losing investment that cost Bain at least $2.1 million.

Now the small, defunct business has grown from an odd blemish on Romney’s financial career into a political headache for the presumptive GOP nominee for president. It is among the pieces of evidence that undermine Romney’s claim that he did not participate in Bain Capital investing activities after 1999.

Can we just get to the independent audit now? Seems very simple.. outside independent audit firm, no bias, overall summary. Was he or wasn't he.. very simple. Seems a LOT less expensive than millions in advertisements to say over and over that it didn't happen.

Lets have some info on Obama and his past life and pick it apart as you do to Romney...... also with the Globes pro Democratic style,,,,," What is good for the goose is good for the gander" Muriel McGrann

Releasing tax returns would be a good start.

Hasn't that already happened? Or have you forgotten Donald Trump and the Birthers? Or the rants about Obama being a "community activist?" That said, care to rebut the article? It does appear that Mitt lied.
