McCain being a POW doesn't make him a war hero. his family military background is why he supported the military.
tell me again why as a "Republican" he supported this?
"[The] evening we set aside for the DREAM Act was a pretty short meeting," Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said. "Everybody said it was time."

Greed and Debt: The True Story of Mitt Romney and Bain Capital

You want to bring up Romney's time at Bain Capital, as described in the print equivalent of MSNBC? In a piece that has very few specifics on exactly what he did that was shady, besides borrowing lots of money? How about if I bring up the hundreds of millions of dollars Donald Trump screwed out of vendors, bankers, bondholders, and investors.
That said, I don't like the way private equity uses debt. But during the time Romney was at Bain you could fault it on the genius politicians. You go out and borrow tons of money to buy a business. The business' operating profits would be eaten up by the interest expense on the debt. You ended up with very little income after you pay your interest. So you didn't pay much in corporate income tax, which at that time was around 40% at the federal and state levels.
The alternative was to dip into your pocket and pay cash for the business. Then the company generates lots of income, and the corporation pays 40% tax on that income. It distributes the income to the owners of the business and they pay another 40% on the dividends they received.
It's a no brainer, you borrow the money, become heavily indebted, risk losing your investment and having your employees lose their jobs. It made more sense than paying most of the businesses' profits in taxes.
