New discussion on Romney

I have never heard these specific things previously which, if proven true, tend to wash some of the progressive stink off Romney.

> Sometimes, this facet of Romney's personality isn't so subtle. In July
> 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had
> disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high
> on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she
> was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked
> all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay's
> daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired
> a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a
> toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went
> through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York,
> and asked them to help find his friend's missing daughter. Romney's
> accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while
> cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper.
> Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked
> with everyone they could � prostitutes, drug addicts � anyone.
>
> That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl
> and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned
> in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced
> the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement,
> shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose.
> Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney's
> former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter's life, saying,
> "It was the most amazing thing, and I'll never forget this to the day I
> die."
>
> So, here's my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can't help himself. He sees a
> problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes
> consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn't do it for
> self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that's just
> how he's wired.
>
> Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his old
> employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to rescue the firm
> from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at Bain & Company for an
> annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to the rescue of the 2002 Salt
> Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for three years, and wouldn't use an
> expense account. He also accepted no salary as Governor of Massachusetts.
