It's less likely that he's a felon than that he's a persistent and shameless liar, and really what's sticking is his total incompetence at handling the issue (which itself was raised as journalistic vetting, not a political attack, but which has become an effective one in tandem with his refusal to provide substantive tax returns before 2010). He's still fighting on the "attacking Bain is attacking capitalism" front while the country -- much different from the fickle cross-eyed crowds at the Republican debates -- are on the whole "it's not that you're rich, it's how you got rich" thing, which he cannot combat coherently. He is apparently unable to both distance himself from Bain post-1999 AND defend vulture capitalism (which was the company's function before and after 1999 regardless), and he's floundering.
This is true the felon bit is a long shot but this should have came out during the primary. By showing that Bain was a anti - american job capitalist company who made money at the expense of the american worker the Democrats are able to negate the way that Romney deflected the issue in the primary. I think that if the Tea parties hadn't been driving retards as presidential contenders this would have been a much bigger issue during the primary. But instead of good contenders they had rick santorum...
and Ron Paul. 
The day that the Tea Party has a good contender may well be the day I go expat.
It wasn't so much that they can't have a good contender (not possible) it is that for a republican to win the primary he has to pander to them. Thus preventing decent republican politicians from even bothering to run. If their are any remaining decent republican politicians left I mean. Most of them have retired or have had to start pandering to the retards to retain there position. The republican party is not the party who fought for womens rights and civil rights any more. When the 19th amendment was passed (1920) republicans controlled 36 of the state legislatures. Peggy Goldwater's, Barry Goldwaters wife founded the phoenix Planned Parenthood once of the nations largest.
It was the republican party that helped Kennedy and then Johnson push through the civil rights act.
Now the republican party looks and acts the exact opposite. Instead of fighting for rights they are trying to take away peoples right to vote and close Planned Parenthood. One of the main driving force of this is the Tea Party. Thus the failure of the republican party to actually be able to field worthy candidates for the office of the President and have a real vetting primary is there fault.
Agreed. And while it's true that the Tea Party has seriously taken the Republican party off the rails, the Tea Party itself, as a movement, is not what it was at its inception. There's still the "grass roots" front, but that's a total smoke screen for the hijacking that's quietly taken place by entities like the Koch brothers.
