Romney kinda sorta killed a man’s wife

Bain Capital and Romney's culpability is not crystal-clear in the closing of GST Steel. Romney was CEO of Bain when the firm became a majority shareholder in GST Steel in October 1993. Bain was not the only stakeholder; a group of the firm's executives and several other firms also had stakes. Bain put up about $8 million in the $75 million deal. Over the next eight years, Bain held onto its stakes and bought more investments as the steel company grew, merged with a South Carolina steelmaker, modernized and added millions of dollars in debt.

When the firm declared bankruptcy in February 2001 and shut down the Kansas City plant, Soptic and 750 other workers learned that their health care coverage, pensions and other benefits guaranteed by the company were rescinded.

Romney had left Bain Capital in February 1999

CNN's Brianna Keilar is reporting that steelworker Joe Soptic's wife was insured through her employer, Savers Thrift Store. She was laid off from her job in 2002 or 2003, Soptic told CNN, at which point she lost her health insurance. So it would appear that Joe Soptic's firing had nothing to do with his wife's health insurance.

Priorities USA strategist Bill Burton told Keilar that the super PAC was not attempting to draw the connection between Romney and Soptic's wife's death.

well earlier I had thought a liberal had stooped about as low as any human could when it came to making false allegations and insinuating ties that didn't exist.. I was wrong... this is even lower..
