I keep running into folks at the other place reading from the tea baggers bible and jumping into any thread on the Volt, GM, etc. no clue of the facts, of course. Or history. But the do love to grind away on the talking points they have been handed down.

There is that and then there is this too. Romney can't hide this one and I am sure it is just the tip of the iceberg.

Some son of Detroit that would never do anything to hurt the US auto industry. It is getting old calling him a lying sack of liquid crap because all he does is lie.

Chrysler CEO Marchionne clarifies the story today.

Quote:
"Jeep is one of our truly global brands with uniquely American roots. This will never change. So much so that we committed that the iconic Wrangler nameplate, currently produced in our Toledo, Ohio, plant, will never see full production outside the United States," Marchionne said. "Jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the United States and will constitute the backbone of the brand. It is inaccurate to suggest anything different."

Romney is doubling down on his lie by running ads claiming the same thing. And the campaign states that it is going to expand the use of the false ad.

Romney might get himself executed. IME Ohioans are a straight shooting bunch that don't take lying lightly. All it takes is one.

We know it won't be Pete. He loves the Romster.

Yes, Ohioans are going to shoot Romney - right after they elect him?

Yep. It's everywhere. If they think it sounds about right, it is.

The really disturbing thing is it has a good chance of working. I've never been so discouraged about the gullibility and indolence of the American voter as I am this time.

The voters are innocent. They are waitresses, and bakers, and accountants, and cashiers, and . . .

Unless they have friends or family within Chrysler then they don't know what's going on at the Jeep plant in Toledo. It's up to Mitt to be honest with them. He is the guilty one, not the voters.
