Richard Viguerie Says Mitt Romney is a Severe Conservative Impersonator Feb 11, 2012 02:45PM

MANASSAS, Va., Feb. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Richard A. Viguerie, the Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, issued the following statement regarding Mitt Romney's speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in which he described himself as "severely conservative":

"In my 50 years in conservative politics at the national level, I have never heard anyone other than Governor Romney describe himself as 'severely' conservative. 

"Romney has shown, once again, that he can mouth the words conservatives use, but he has no gut-level emotional connection with the conservative movement and its ideas and policies.

"To paraphrase a story about Mark Twain, one day his wife decided to repeat some of his more colorful four-letter words to embarrass him into cleaning up his language.  After absorbing the barrage, the author thought for a moment and said, 'Honey, you've got the words right, but you just don't have the tune.'

"After 50 years in the conservative movement, I can say with some authority:  Mitt, you may have the words of conservatism right, but you just don't have the tune."

NOTE TO EDITORS:  Richard A. Viguerie pioneered political direct mail and has been called "one of the creators of the modern conservative movement" (The Nation) and one of the "conservatives of the century"(Washington Times).  He is the author of Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause.

Competitive Investment Rates Draw Logistics Provider to Bahrain Feb 11, 2012 02:10PM

MANAMA, Bahrain, Feb. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Samel, a leading specialist for dry bulk solutions in the Middle East, has chosen Bahrain as its logistics hub for the Gulf Region. 

"This strategic partnership allows Samel and the Bahrain Logistic Zone (BLZ) to open the gates for highly specialized logistics in this region, with Bahrain playing an important role as a distribution hub for the GCC," Dr. Wolfgang Hoppmann, Samel CEO, said.

Factors such as Bahrain's competitive rates, world-class import/export services and close proximity to the Khalifa Bin Salman Port, led to Samel's decision, Hassan Ali Al Majed, the director general of BLZ, said.

Dr. Wolfgang expects that others businesses, particularly in the bulk goods industry, will quickly follow his company's path as Bahrain's competitive rates and investment opportunities become better known.

"Ultimately, this will lead to a drastic increase in the number of companies with specialized expertise and operational skills, especially in the bulk market, setting up shop in Bahrain, which will help support Bahrain's economy in the future," Dr. Wolfgang Hoppmann, Samel CEO, said.
