With all that is and should be important to Americans – just over a hundred days before we select our president – it is baffling as to why the media is so hell-bent on holding on to the Bain Capital story involving presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
It turns out Romney either lied to the American public or filed an incomplete and incompetent IRS return in 2010. W.
