Romney would never do anything to hurt the US auto industry
 
Just swoop in and buy Delphi stock at pennies on the dollar to gain controlling interest in Delphi. The threaten to withhold vital parts like steering columns from GM effectively shutting them down. Then extort the Federal bailout money going to Delphi so GM could buy Delphi and route it to Romneys partners hedge fund. Then the moved all Delphi plants to China, killing thousands of good paying union jobs, stick the Federal government with the workers pension fund, and walk away with a 3000% return on investment. Romney made in the range of 15 million to 115 million dollars in the deal. A fact his campaign does not dispute.

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.

Most of us who were sons of the auto industry were glad dad could work on an assembly line, buy a tract home, and send us to college. To me that is the true legacy of the automobile industry...along with the Ford straight six, of course.

Somehow Mitt never saw it that way. I think if he did he would never have wrote that article. If he loses Ohio it will be because of that. I am surprised he is so close there.
I have a feeling the polls are understating Obama. I pray I am correct!

Yeah, I know a few people like that coming from a largley union family. The only ones I never heard it from was the older generations.....the ones who were around prior to the reforms of the New Deal. I think something is being lost with the dying off of the WW2 and prior generations....first hand memory. The rest of us seem to be taking everything for granted. That the corporatists and employers have OUR best interests in mind, and there's no need for us to protect what has been accrued.

To my mind this is utter foolishness and will lead to nowhere but yet another set of problems. And, I don't see how on earth anyone can see it any other way. A strong personal work ethic alone will not protect you once anti-worker practices become commonplace. You'll just get sucked down with everyone else.

Regards,
Dave

You got that right. Same as all the righties who think Obama did nothing, come on back with me to the great depression, it really was not so great.
