The Issue: How Mitt Romney’s company, Bain Capital, has bolstered many public pension funds.
***
I can’t open my eyes or ears these days without hearing Democrats vilify Bain Capital — how the policies of Bain benefit only investors and the wealthy (“Look Who Parks Their Cash at Bain,” Deroy Murdock, PostOpinion, Sept. 1).
How is it that Democrats hate Bain, yet invest billions in Bain and similar entities?
As a taxpayer, I am pleased that these Democratic investors see the value in private-equity capital. As a political observer, I guess these same Democrats are either dishonest in their complaints, or continue to hope that we are simply too stupid to figure out their lies.
At any rate, thanks to Murdock for bringing up an important issue.

Obama’s divisive, class-warfare strategy is to attack Romney’s strengths: his private-sector experience and success.
Romney balanced four budgets as a Republican governor in the bluest of states, but Obama’s campaign attacks SEC paperwork from Bain with Romney’s name on it, suggesting he committed a felony.
It’s not fair that Romney can’t do the same to Obama, because the president has no stengths or achievements to speak of, except being a great campaigner. Romney’s record is that of a winner. Obama’s is a record of failure. Pete Vetro
