Competent?  Technocratic?  Wonkish?  Smart?  Problem Solver?  You're right, terrible stereotypes.       

lol, "Etch A Sketch" is the stereotype I was referring to.

If that is y'all's grasp of reality with regards to the staunch opposition to the auto bailout that Romney put in writing, I'm not going to argue with it.  We'll see what Michigan voters think about it come November 2012.

lol, Romney is now trying to take credit for a (federally funded) auto bailout which he previously vociferously opposed, calling it "crony capitalism on a grand scale."  There is no evidence he worked on the bailout beyond his op-eds.  He wanted the auto industry to find private financing and if you think it would have materialized (especially given the frozen credit environment at the time) I have a bridge to nowhere I'd like to sell you.  Perhaps the reason Michigan voters will not buy his sudden credit-taking is because they realize it makes no sense.

So far, the only one in this thread who has acknowledged the details of the situation absolves the ignorance of his comrades because of a miniscule issue over Romney's semantics.

With politics conducted like this, one wonders why the nation is so screwed. Roll Eyes


The political debate should be over the plans and the details of the plans, not lies based on completely the willfull ignorance of the many and justified by the knowledgable few, on the basis that Romney is as bad a writer as he is a politician.

Spare us this ridiculous claptrap.  Did or did Romney not oppose the decision to provide a federally funded bailout to the auto companies at the time the Obama Administration did it?  Can you even acknowledge this?


From Romney's editorial:

This isn't a confusing situation.  Romney, like most of the GOP Presidential candidates, opposed the federally funded auto bailout that the Obama Administration provided.  But the bailout has not caused the death of the American auto industry that he predicted.  And so now ...
