Romney had three things to brag about on his résumé. Each of those three is turning into a liability.

First, Romney claimed to have been a jobs creator as governor of Massachusetts. That turned out to be false. During his time as governor, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 (http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/as-massachusetts-governor-romneys-record-on-jobs-was-unremarkable/2012/02/06/gIQABzEfxQ_story.html) states in job creation.

Second, there was Romney's time at Bain where he, once again, claimed to have been a jobs creator. As discussed ad nauseam in this forum, Romney was a job destroyer (http://www.kingofbain.com/) at Bain.

And now, finally, the last item on Romney's résumé is revealed to be a vulnerability. I'm speaking of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. The Democrats have uncovered old footage of John McCain angrily ranting about Romney's poor fiscal management of the Olympics.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qY29UIpGhAs

In the video, Romney brags about what a good lobbyist he was at getting money from the federal government.

If Romney is the nominee, you can bet you'll hear more about that boondoggle.

1) Were there +net jobs created during his time as Governor?
2) Could you do the math on the number of jobs lost during his time at Bain? Seriously, just do the math in this format:

Company - Jobs Lost - Jobs Gained - Net Jobs.

3) Did the Olympics go from the red to the black under Romney's leadership?

I think you are letting your anti-mormon agenda cloud your already piss poor judgment, Kranar. You should stick to your stupidity in Dogs against Romney.. at least people can't call you out for being a moron.

Ok. I'll give you an easy one: Staples has 90,000 employees.

Show us 90,001 jobs that were cut by Romney.

02-20-2012, 10:45 AM

Ok. I'll give you an easy one: Staples has 90,000 employees.

Show us 90,001 jobs that were cut by Romney.

Where to start..

First, Bain owned a minority interest in Staples. At best, Romney is being disingenuous by taking credit for the jobs created at Staples. Romney did not control Staples, unlike many of the companies that Bain ran into the ground by excess leverage and draining assets. Because Romney could not control Staples, he could not destroy it.

Second, most of the jobs at Staples today did not exist when Bain sold its interest in the company. If you want to give Romney credit for jobs created at Staples after he sold it, then you should deduct jobs that were not created at the companies he destroyed and sent overseas.

Third, Romney refuses to release records on the companies Bain bankrupted, making it impossible to calculate the full magnitude of the economic aftermath of Bain's corporate raiding.

Parkbandit

02-20-2012, 11:03 AM

OK, how about Sports Authority?

Then Dominoes.. then Sealy... then Brookstone....

Romney "refusing" to release records shouldn't be that difficult to overcome. He would have had to fire hundreds of thousands of employees to have a negative effect of creating jobs. Shouldn't be too difficult for someone with a burning Mormon hatred like you to uncover.

Stick to "ZOMG HE'S A MORMON AND I ONLY LIKE MUSLIMS" schtick, Kranar... at least no one will call you out when you try and pass along conjecture as "fact".

Kranar

02-20-2012, 05:31 PM

Before I do that, shall we put down a wager?

It will be for charity. If I win you donate say 2-3k to a charity of my choosing, and if you win I will do the same for you. We both put up the money to a third party who we both trust will keep it safe until this is resolved.

I mean you're so confident I am ClydeR, what do you have to lose here? It's free money.

Kranar

02-20-2012, 05:32 PM

A 10,000 dollar wager?

I would be down for that amount. I mean honestly I'd be down for any amount since I know what the outcome of this will be, but let's keep things within the realm of possibility.

The wager stands and I'd be very interested to do it. Let's make something fun out of this, after all you insist so frequently your assurance that I am ClydeR, what do you have to lose by engaging in this bet?

Sometimes it's best to put your money where your mouth is.

02-20-2012, 05:37 PM

This isn't the first time PB and Kranar have disagreed on who someone was on an alt. We clearly need an impartial and objective third party to adjudicate any wager, and I nominate myself. :)

Kranar

02-20-2012, 05:39 PM

We'd have to clarify the rules of course, make something fair and reasonable.

Anticor is an admin with all the access that I have, and honestly if this is going to charity for that amount I'd certainly be flexible enough to have someone else become admin temporarily.

Kranar

02-20-2012, 05:56 PM

Like I said previously, it would be very easy for the administrator of the website to falsify the "proof" needed.

What would be satisfactory then? I think a fairly good arrangement could be made given the stakes involved.

We have Anticor who is a current admin as well as CrystalTears and Buckwheet who are previous admins who have enough of an understanding of this software to go over any logs or I.P. addresses to make some kind of conclusion on this matter.

I'd say let's make all three of them involved in it, I can make CrystalTears and Buckwheet admins for say two weeks to go over logs and we can have an agreement where I may not communicate to any of them, but you are free to communicate with them to any degree you desire, to ask them any questions or have them go over any logs you think could implicate me.

Give it some thought, or feel free to make a counter offer of some kind. I'm pretty open on this matter.

Kranar

02-20-2012, 07:31 PM

That was the first time I read the new theory that ClydeR was me. To be honest part of me wanted to play along with the idea, but it would be rather irresponsible.

At first I interpreted PB to say that both me and ClydeR were familiar with day trading, and then I figured huh, that doesn't make sense and that's when I found a whole bunch of posts from PB and a few others spreading the theory that I'm ClydeR.

Heck Parkbandit was so confident and persuasive that I was ClydeR he practically had me believing it to be true.

I would like credit for the initial post of ClydeR = Kranar. Others were just riding my coat tails.

Heck Parkbandit was so confident and persuasive that I was ClydeR he practically had me believing it to be true.

Uh huh...

So, how do you propose to prove you are not posting as ClydeR? IP addresses can easily be manipulated. Logs can also be manipulated. It's not that I don't trust you.. oh wait, it's exactly that.

I'm sure you can understand my skepticism... especially when you come here and pull a play out of Romney's betting playbook.

I'm pretty positive the real ClydeR would reveal himself. I'm not the greatest judge of character, but I'm pretty sure the real ClydeR would be more than happy to out himself if I told him he could have like 500 bucks for revealing himself, I'd pay the 500 bucks out of pocket and you'd give the full 3k bet to the charity of my choosing, which is likely going to be Doctor's Without Borders. I'm also fairly certain other people on these forums can verify who the real ClydeR is, to be honest I'm surprised it stayed a secret for so long.

I think I've given several options here, if you have a counter proposal you'd like to make that you think would reasonably conclude this matter, then by all means propose one.

Tgo01

02-20-2012, 08:24 PM

Couldn't you just bribe someone with 500 dollars to say they are Clyder then?

If you know who the real Clyder is why don't you just tell us instead of making this whole bet thing? :/

Kranar

02-20-2012, 08:32 PM

Couldn't you just bribe someone with 500 dollars to say they are Clyder then?

Highly unlikely... the fact is if I did something like that and effectively stole 3 grand, that's not petty change we're talking about here. Remember the point of the bet going to charity is that neither of us directly profits off of this, and while it's a stinger to have to pay 3k to charity at least it goes to a worthwhile cause.

If you know who the real Clyder is why don't you just tell us instead of making this whole bet thing? :/

Why would I out who the real ClydeR is? Just because some guy insists on thinking it's me, and I'm an administrator, I should out someone for it?

The benefit of making it a decent sized bet to charity is that something of value is gained in the process. I will admit it's annoying that people think I'm ClydeR, and I find it disrespectful at times especially since PB is someone who I have hardly spoken or discussed anything with and has now decided to obsess over this ClydeR == Kranar thing, but really that's not a good enough reason to out someone's anonymity.

I think we can work out an arrangement where ClydeR reveals himself and gets a piece of the pie, and a donation is made to charity so we can feel like some good came out of this.

Tgo01

02-20-2012, 08:37 PM

It's basically stealing money even if you aren't Clyder because you know you're not Clyder.

Just because some guy insists on thinking it's me, and I'm an administrator, I should out someone for it?

No but it's really not much different than bribing the real person behind Clyder to admit who they are.

Kranar

02-20-2012, 08:43 PM

It's basically stealing money even if you aren't Clyder because you know you're not Clyder.

Woah... I'd say anyone can see the difference between taking 3 grand by making up lies and bribing people vs. challenging someone on their own belief and opinion which they insist on entirely of their own choosing.

My position is clear, I am not ClydeR. However, if Parkbandit wishes to insist on this fact, I challenge his opinion and belief by basically saying let's make a bet to charity. There's really no way you can argue that constitutes theft.

Tgo01

02-20-2012, 08:46 PM

I say we make this even more interesting. Since you know who the real Clyder is Kranar find out if they are willing to out themselves for 500 dollars. If they say yes then everyone can vote on who they think Clyder really is. The people who guessed right can then vote on which charity you donate 2500 dollars to.

That way everyone is happy. Clyder is 500 dollars richer, everyone gets to take part in this game, and you're happy because 2500 dollars is being donated to charity.

Alright I'll get the ball rolling. I think Clyder is Latrinsorm.

Okay go.

I'm not interested in your Romneyesque type bet. Sorry, this isn't a bet I'm going to take.. not that I don't believe you aren't ClydeR, but that you have the ability to create a ClydeR to be someone other than you. Like Tgo01 already stated, you could simply get someone to take $500 to say they were also posting as ClydeR.

Why would anybody even care? It should be enough that you all understand that I am the most informed person here at politics. And -- let's be honest -- I'm the only one here who ever speaks up for the socially conservative point of view. If it were up to all of you, conservatives would have no voice in national politics.

Official votes for real person behind Clyder is:

Latrinsorm: 1
Kranar: 1
Tabor: 1
Parkbandit: 1
Tea&Strumpets: .5
a liberal lawyer from NYC: .5

I think we can safely rule out Tabor now. Clyder already said he wants no part in Kranar's idea, I can't imagine Tabor would turn down 500 dollars for any reason.

I'm not interested in your Romneyesque type bet. Sorry, this isn't a bet I'm going to take.. not that I don't believe you aren't ClydeR, but that you have the ability to create a ClydeR to be someone other than you. Like Tgo01 already stated, you could simply get someone to take $500 to say they were also posting as ClydeR.

So, you're going to pass up a chance to verify your theory and basically say your theory is unverifiable, but insist that it's absolutely true anyway.

As I was reading this read, I just kept wondering why either of you cared so much about having the last word in this ridiculously stupid conversation. PB's relentless interest in the Kranar/ClydeR conspiracy theory is retarded in and of itself. Anyone reading it can figure that out for themselves. Why is there a need to point anything out? The back and forth posts calling each other stoopid just makes you both look childish. It's the fucking internet.... You're not going to win anything here.

What I was doing was pointing out PB's unwillingness to stand up for his beliefs, his continuous resort to ad hominem attacks in lieu of an actual argument, and the irony of someone his age priding himself on trolling (badly).

If that's what you all think, though, then sure, I'm done.

No, what I was doing was pointing out your utter hypocrisy.. then when you continued, I simply started posting gifs because it wasn't worthy of any real effort on my part.

Why would I make a bet with the administrator on this forum regarding the identity of a poster? It's far too easy for him to get someone to claim he was ClydeR and he knows this. Add onto that a bet that he knew I wouldn't accept and "poof" he's 'no longer' ClydeR.

His overcompensation confirmed to me that I am right.

Please note that no one else so far appears to have that same feeling of "confirmation."

However, I am curious that you kept posting that Kranar, as ClydeR, was going after Romney because he was Mormon and Kranar was Muslim, even though Kranar had posted over a month ago that he had become an atheist over 4 years ago. Aren't you ignoring facts placed into evidence then?

Could you point to a post of mine that stated that Kranar (or ClydeR) is a Muslim? If I did, I made a mistake.

Kranar tends to post in a manner that is more sympathetic towards Muslims, while not affording the same type of empathy towards other religious organizations.

Kranar tends to post in a manner that is more sympathetic towards Muslims, while not affording the same type of empathy towards other religious organizations.

While I am not certain as to whether you knew Kranar had become an atheist prior to Jan. 19 of this year, you did make a post asserting he was a Muslim zealot in November of last year.

http://forum.gsplayers.com/showpost.php?p=1359907&postcount=3

And asked him whether he knew of a true religion besides Islam on Dec. 4.

http://forum.gsplayers.com/showpost.php?p=1361570&postcount=11

The only time I've seen Kranar post on the subject of religion is on that thread from 2010. And his posts weren't really much about religion. If you've got something else that he's posted, feel free to cite. (obviously, posts by ClydeR aren't going to convince me of anything.)

In all honesty I don't hate Mormons, I don't even know why I feel like I have to say that. I can't think of a single time I've said anything negative about Mormons or any other religion on here in the past 4-5 years (assuming I'm not ClydeR of course). There was definitely a time when I was religious and it's quite possible I would have expressed negative views towards people of other faiths. That would have been wrong, but really, things change especially over 4-5 years.

The purpose of the bet was to make light of this issue, and I probably screwed that up. I know PB is well to do, I'm fairly well to do, so I figured we could end this ClydeR/Kranar pseudo rivalry by making a donation to a cause we both like. Obviously it was misinterpreted.

The biggest nuisance out of all this is, well... PB has been a member of these forums for so unbelievably long and is one of the most prominent members that I guess I just find it weird that after 10 years of running this place he'd decide to go all on the offensive against me because of a very very strange theory than I'm ClydeR. I know we've had heated differences in the past but I assumed there was always a level of respect between us, I mean when I was broke as hell, it was PB who made a very generous donation to the PC to keep it going and I certainly respected him for doing that.

That's why I said I find it annoying and mostly awkward, not that he has this theory I'm ClydeR, but the rather aggressive nature of this theory. But really... it's silly and it's not the end of the world, I'm making a much bigger deal out of this than I should.

I have to say... to the real ClydeR, you certainly have managed to shake things up here, so kudos to you Mr. Mystery Man.

Heck at this point I probably deserve to be trolled over this issue.

If it's really not you posting as ClydeR, then I apologize for hurting your feelings this badly. That wasn't my intention.. it was for you to simply come clean. Like you already stated, it would be pretty irresponsible of you to play this game on this forum. I have very little respect for an individual who cannot debate his/her side by their own merits.

Again, if it's not you, then I do apologize.
