| Irony alert: The people that Republicans refer to as "job creators" are actually "job eliminators." |

Those are strong words from a candidate whose liability is that he made a living eliminating jobs.
In any other economy, working at Bain would be a bane to Romney’s presidential craving because it’s hard to trust a flip-flopper who’s a company flipper. Romney himself has used the phrase “creative destruction” to describe what his former private equity firm, Bain Capital, excelled at: buying companies, restructuring and downsizing, and selling them for a profit.
