If people with the responsibility to choose those who govern them would worry more about the people they are choosing, we wouldn't have so many crooked politicians

And with better politicians, possible the takeout on that Pick Four could be less

While you could interpret that I am conservative or aligned with that way of thinking, I can assure you I am unimpressed with anything political on either side of the aisle. Somehow, someway, political reform will happen in the near future. It would be great if we could send all of these snake-oil salesmen/women politicians to Antarctica and start over.

As for those pk4 takeout rates......well.......you have to win every once in a while to be affected.

Filings may conflict with Romney claims.

Federal documents filed by Mitt Romney's former company appear to conflict with the Republican presidential candidate's statements about when he left Bain Capital, the private-equity firm central to his legacy in the private sector.

In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2001, Bain Capital listed Romney as the company's "sole shareholder, sole director, chief executive officer and president." It said Romney's "principal occupation" was as Bain's managing director.

Romney's campaign repeatedly has said Romney had virtually nothing to do with the company's operations after February 1999, when he began work on the troubled 2002 Winter Olympics.

For example, in late 1999, Bain-controlled Steam International set up overseas call centers, and a subsidiary moved jobs from California to Mexico. In 2000, the Ampad company declared bankruptcy. The next year, so did steel-maker GS Industries, just as Bain made $58.4 million from its investment.

It's called being a voter In between Tweeting, mowing the grass, raising the kids, and grocery shopping, we are responsible for governing our own democratic destiny.

We get a chance to start over constantly. Every year. Few eligible Americans vote. Fewer yet bother to even learn basics about a candidate.

Florida, the land of seniors, elected as governor the man who ran the company that was found guilty of the largest $$ Medicare fraud in history, and who campaigned on getting rid of their Medicare.

Hello? Florida voters? Hello?

LOL - Well, we agree on that, certainly
