Barack Obama is a Liar

Do you honestly expect me to believe that a sitting POTUS would actually lie?

Come on now, be serious.

Politicians would NEVER lie to constituents, especially a President.

The planet where Bain Capital controls voting machines in major swing states.
most voting machines are built and operated by diebold.

bain doesnt control diebold.

bain doesnt actually control any company except bain. they are corporate money lenders and venture capital, not Umbrella Corp.

We’re not really into conspiracy theories here, so let us just say this upfront: we are not presenting the following article as any kind of conspiracy theory. We will say, though, that the people who own voting machines in some important swing states have a pretty remarkable bias toward Mitt Romney and, you know, someone should probably keep an eye on this, no?Okay, so here’s what we know:

Hart InterCivic is a national provider of election voting systems that are used in swing-states Ohio and Colorado, as well as in states we don’t really care about so much because we already know how they’ll turn out (e.g., Texas, Oklahoma, and Hawaii). Private equity firm H.I.G. Capital, LLC bought out a “significant” portion of Hart in July of 2011, and now the majority of Hart’s board directors are employees of H.I.G. (It’s not entirely clear how much of the voting machine company H.I.G. owns, but the financial advisors responsible for the transaction state that “Hart Intercivic was acquired by HIG Capital.”)H.I.G., in turn, has ties to Bain & Co. and Mitt Romney directly:


  • H.I.G. was founded by Tony Tamer, a former Bain employee and bundler for Mitt Romney’s campaign.

  • Of H.I.G.’s 22 American directors, 21 donated to Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. One person made no political donations at all; one person donated to both Mitt Romney and Barack Obama; the remaining 20 directors donated exclusively to Mitt Romney in 2012. (See below for links to donations.)

  • Of these 22 American directors, seven of them (nearly one-third) are former Bain employees. Now, we should note (as a reader helpfully pointed out), this is Bain & Co., where Mitt Romney used to work way back when and then left in order to start the affiliated Bain Capital. The connection is therefore a little more tenuous, but we still find H.I.G.’s overwhelming allegiance and financial support of the Romney campaign surprising (not that it’s surprising that a private equity company would lean Republican, but this level of support is pretty unusual).

  • Four of H.I.G.’s directors, Tony Tamer, John Bolduc, Douglas Berman, and Brian D. Schwartz, are Romney bundlers along with former Bain and H.I.G. manager Brian Shortsleeve.



  • H.I.G. employees currently make up the majority of the Hart InterCivic’s five-member board of directors. Two of these three directors of the voting machine company, Neil Tuch and Jeff Bohl, have donated directly to Mitt Romney’s campaign.

  • H.I.G. is the 11th largest donor to Mitt Romney’s campaign. H.I.G. employees have given $338,000 to the Romney campaign, outpacing even Bain Capital itself, which gave $268,000.

Now, to be fair, besides the fact that H.I.G. employees make up the majority of Hart’s board of directors, we don’t know exactly how much control H.I.G. is able to exert over the voting machine company’s day-to-day operations. Plus, it seems like it would be pretty difficult to mess with the software without anyone finding out about it. Moreover, just from a cost-benefit standpoint, it doesn’t really make sense that these H.I.G. directors would commit a felony and risk their super-lucrative careers just to get their Bain bro elected.

Now, I love my weed, but not even I'm stoned enough to think US citizens actually have a choice in who they vote for...

I cannot fathom Barry will get another go at destroying the constitution and country....

when you peer into the murky waters of corporate governance you see the same faces all over the place, and they tend to give cash to the guy they think will touch their bulging wallets the least.

the company cited (hart intercivic) makes a tiny fraction of the voting machines in use. since they are the focus in this "I'm not a conspiracy nut, but... heres a conspiracy theory" post, one can presume they are the ones with the deepest romney ties. if thats all there is, then the conspiracy pretty shaky and dubious at best.

Obama is a liar and a criminal. he should be jailed for his crimes against this country and his war crimes. I still can not fathom how anyone would even think to vote for Obama. i mean those people live in a land of fantasy and free hand outs.
