Romney: I'll take a lot of credit for auto industry success.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I will say it again, though. The credit is not being sought for it's own sake, it is being sought primarily as a method for combating the idea that he wanted them to be liquidated.

He was willing to let them be liquidated as a message to those who have solid wages -- accept poverty and harsher conditions of employment on behalf of executives, financiers, tycoons, and big landowners who are the only people of significance in America. The GOP solution is economic, if not political fascism... government exists only to rescue elites, and such rescues invariably imply the marginalization of working people. It is a return of capitalism to the Marxist stereotype of early capitalism, an ugly but all-too-real caricature of the Gilded Age.   

You make it quite clear that you haven't the slightest idea what you are talking about.

Romney is a joke. First Romney goes ahead and urges the world to "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt", and then he goes around and claims the laurels afterwords. He is a blatant flip-flopper, and if Romney had his way half of Michigan would be out of work. Michiganders will remember this come November, and how Romney wasn't man enough to admit his plan would have screwed over the Michigan.

Would you be willing to detail just exactly how Romney's plan would have screwed over Michigan, by explaining exactly how Romney's plan would have enabled a liquidation of the auto companies to occur?

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.


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?

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 ...
