Romney implies GM used U.S. aid to create jobs in China

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has broadened his attack on President Barack Obama’s auto industry restructuring, implying that General Motors used the aid to hire more workers in China than the U.S.

“Barack Obama says he saved the auto industry. But for who? Ohio or China?” says the narrator in a radio spot running in Ohio. “Under President Obama, GM cut 15,000 American jobs, but they are planning to double the number of cars built in China, which means 15,000 more jobs for China. And now comes word that Chrysler plans to start making Jeeps in, you guessed it, China.”

GM quickly defended its performance.

“We've clearly entered some parallel universe during these last few days,” GM spokesman Greg Martin said. “No amount of campaign politics at its cynical worst will diminish our record of creating jobs in the U.S. and repatriating profits back to this country.”

Separately, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne used an email to employees today to refute the implication in a Romney television ad that Chrysler may move all Jeep production from the U.S. to China.

“Jeep production will not be moved from the United States to China,” Marchionne stated in the email. “The numbers tell the story,” followed by specific investments Chrysler has made at its plants in Detroit, Toledo and Belvidere, Ill. “Those include more than $1.7 billion to produce the successor of the Jeep Liberty and hire about 1,100 workers on a second shift by 2013.”

1. Hope this story grows legs

I'd hate to think it doesn't get wider exposure than Detroit.

[donnasgirl]

26. It can be a daddy long legs

If we use our collective heads and put it all over the internet.

[alcibiades_mystery]

2. Work across the aisle? Romney can't open his yap without pissing off even other CEO types

What a buffoon.

[msongs]

3. repubs, not concerned with ethics etc, play to win nt

[Coyotl]

32. Voters, very concerned with ethics, etc., vote accordingly

There are a lot of conservatives who will not be able to pull that Liar lever

[meadowlark5]

4. Too bad GM and Chrysler couldn't file a lawsuit of slander towards the Romney campaign

That hurts their image and reputation. It makes them look like the much hated job outsources when they aren't outsourcing at all.

It's just like that soup kitchen that Lyin' Ryan went to. These two shitheads do whatever they want to do to try and "win" and they have no care who gets destroyed in the process - as long as they get what they want. Assholes!

[Angry Dragon]

11. I disagree ....... read post #6

It does hurt their image and reputation and in business there is a thing called goodwill that has a tangible value

[freshwest]

22. +1,000.

[txdemsftw]

5. Good grief!

This prick thinks he can spout off any damn thing he likes and not get called out on it!

[freshwest]

23. They own the media. Those who believe Fox, Rush, Beck, CNN, etc. will let him get away with it.

[Angry Dragon]

6. They should turn around and sue Willard for $1billion

because they told him earlier that was not true and he continues to spread lies
lying should not be tolerated in campaigns and they should pay for their lies

[freshwest]

24. Wasn't there a big lawsuit over the apple crop one year, rumors that cost them money?

This could end up the same, people really don't want to buy the 'made to sell' goods that come from China, that often are defective out of the box. They don't want to be dependent on parts from abroad for their vehicles any more than necessary.

Obama has been fighting to keep parts jobs here. I wouldn't want to make a major investment like a vehicle and not be able to get parts to repair it, or count on the manufacturer to honor the warranties from abroad with different laws, etc.

[RomneyLies]

7. Complete acts of DESPERATION

There can be no denying it, Romney knows he's going to lose and he's pulling out all stops to throw the entire pot of spaghetti at the wall to see if anything, ANYTHING at all will stick to it.

[reformist2]

9. all that spaghetti is going to land on Mitt's head!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

21. He must've been watching Honey Boo Boo.

[TahitiNut]

27. "Truth is the first casualty of war."

The MittWit may attempt to deny the fact that his class (the Ruling Class) has been waging war on the Working Class even though ALL his wealth has been extracted from the labors of others and his obliteration of jobs in the U.S. ... but the only Working Class he's declared a truce with are those in China, Inc. That truce will be over as soon as they attempt to escape their Labor Camps or gain a decent wage with reasonable hours.

This is the only 'war' the MittWit will participate in ... as long as he's NEVER on the front line.

[reformist2]

8. Romney really has gone off the deep end, attacking American car companies!

And if he thinks Ford is on "his side", he is sadly mistaken...

[Populist_Prole]

28. Jerks like that have a pathological dislike of 'brick & mortar' and heavy industry in the US anyway

It represents the wrong direction to them who want to see us all as wage slaves in shitty service jobs.

[JI7]

10. does he know this could hurt Business with those who want to only buy American ?

oh yeah, he doesn't give a shit.

[Matariki]

12. There should be real consequences for deliberate lies in campaign ads.

Fines or something.

[hogwyld]

13. GM and Chrysler should sue

Mitt opens yap, lies, and negatively affects their business. Anyone see what the price of GM and Chrysler stock has done in the past couple of days? It's gone down, affecting their market capitalization.

[spiderpig]

14. Countdown to election day - 7...6...5...4...3...

Please let it be over. I can't take much more of this moran.

[demwing]

15. Theoretically - If a person isn't a candidate anymore

will the secret service still toss you in a bag if you were to punch said former candidate in his lying face hole?

[JimDandy]

36. Assault on any person gets you a bed in a crummy concrete suite courtesy of the local police.

It sure might be worth it to some people for at least a few minutes, though.

[amborin]

16. K&R

[nc4bo]

17. So I'm watching Rev. Al on Politics Nation and he says the ads are also on radio stations

[Delphinus]

18. Wow!

Let's hope the M$M pick up on this and repeat it, time after time after time.

[Swede Atlanta]

19. Robme caught in lies....

but will the Sheeple even pay attention? I think NOT.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Mitt's bound and determined

To piss everyone off.

[UCmeNdc]

25. Mitt Romney Lies period!

Mitt Romney will say and do anything to get elected.

[sarcasmo]

29. This story has legs, and once the dust settles from the storm it will roll like a snowball.

[99th_Monkey]

30. I hope they are relentless & break down the doors of CNN et. al.

with the fucking truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth
about Obama saving their jobs, and saving an entire US industry.

How dare these Team Rmoney imbeciles smear Obama's record on
the auto bailout. Fuck-tards.

[erpowers]

31. Is There Something Wrong With Mitt Romney?

When I first thought about starting this reply I was going to point out that the Obama campaign was right when it said that Mitt Romney needs to debate himself before he debates President Obama. First, Romney took credit for the success of the American car industry by claiming it was his idea to push the companies into bankruptcy and when President Obama did that the companies flourished. Now, he puts out an ad that claims President Obama forced the companies into bankruptcy and now that is forcing Jeep to build cars in China. That and other things Romney has said can make one wonder if there is something wrong with Mitt Romney.

However, as I thought about the post I realized there was nothing wrong with Mitt Romney. He is just willing to say and do anything to win the Presidential election. Romney realizes his desire to push American car companies into bankruptcy is not popular in Ohio. He is now hoping that he can convince at least a few people in Ohio that it was President Obama who supported bankruptcy for the American auto industry.

[Coyotl]

33. Yes, everything n/t

[AAO]

34. God, I hate Romney. I don't hate anyone. But somehow I hate Romney. Is he not anyone?

[demwing]

37. Silly - Corporations arent people!

He's Mitt Headroom

[nolabear]

35. That sound you hear is Daddy Romney trying to claw his way out of the grave

and slap the smug off that boy's face.

[Bozita]

38. This Mike Luckovich toon fits nicely in this thread ...

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

39. mitt is making no sure no sector of the us auto industry is not defamed,mitt loses auto support n\t

[Berlum]

40. Republicans are relentless liars.

Sickening. Even when they are called on their lies, they lie some more.

Not fit for office.

42. For Me... The Problem Is This...

So many people have been lied to for so long & have actually been in denial OF REAL truth, that they simply don't care about truth anymore!!!

I keep hearing that RobberMe will likely win the popular vote, but not likely to win electoral vote. How is this even possible?? Yes, Gore did win popular vote, but in the end if I recall correctly, it WAS proven that Gore also won electoral votes too. It took about 2 years to figure this out though!!

This AM on Scarborough they said Romney was way ahead with Ind., & I'm still scratching my head! I rarely watch him, my husband does & I walked by when they stated this. Since I have Current I always watch Stephanie Miller, which is of course a Liberal program. I can't take listening to so much namby-pamby MSM for very long.

This country has gone so far down a rat hole that I don't know how people like Rob/RY have even gotten so far.

I'm still not sure what is what. I check Nate Silver & it generally looks good, but what do I know???

[blogslut]

43. I kind of wonder if these firms have a case for libel and/or slander

RMoney's false statement could hurt their businesses.

[RedCloud]

44. Love that thread title!

[Bozita]

47. Thank you. ... Writing it made me feel better!

[underseasurveyor]

45. Those guys should get together and public service announcement/media blitz

commercials on TV denying the claim- vehemently.

[ffr]

46. I just laugh at Romney when he acts like an idiot.

I've been doing a lot of laughing lately.
