Mitt Romney layoff victim speaks: 'It was all about profit before people'

on Mitt Romney, but here's one strategy that Newt and the rest of the Republican presidential field are unlikely to embrace: highlighting the voices of workers who lost their jobs because of Romney's work at Bain Capital.

I really feel he didn’t care about the worker,” said the employee, Randy Johnson, who was flown in for the news conference by the Democratic National Committee. t was all about profit before people.

Mr. Johnson, now a union activist who worked at American Pad & Paper in the 1990s, described how under Bain Capital’s stewardship, the company laid off dozens of workers at the Indiana plant. Bain Capital made tens of millions of dollars from its investment in the paper manufacturer, which eventually filed for bankruptcy.

I think he is out of touch with the average person,” Mr. Johnson said.

So here’s a question. If Romney posts a strong showing in Iowa, as expected, will the increased media scrutiny on him also translate into increased scrutiny of his claims about his Bain years?
