And Romneny has the gall to say Obama sent jobs overseas. There are still people who believe this like horses wearing blinders. In Response to Remember Folks, Romney Made Millions Sending OUR Jobs To China And Now Wants OUR Vote.: Romney for 15 years as CEO of Bain Capital made hundreds of millions of dollars taking OUR jobs to Communist China. Imagine you were one of those workers who worked for a company, paid into a pension and healthcare for 25 years and were told your job along with your pension and healthcare are gone, so CEO's like Romney could make MORE PROFITS having the product built in Communist China Sweatshops. Remember when Romney said he was amazed at how hard the Chinese work for pennies in deplorable inhumane conditions. Romney had no problem making millions of dollars, while the Chinese workers are treated like slaves. Shouldn't a true leader stand up against this ? No Romney took his profits and hid them in overseas accounts to avoid paying his fair share of Taxes in OUR Nation. I'm sorry, but Chameleon Romney can say all he wants about how he feels the pain of those struggling in our Nation, but the Statute of Limitations has not run out on his 15 years of stealing our jobs and benefits from our workers. Sure Mitt, now that youv'e made your millions of dollars working with Communist China, you say you will fight Communist China and bring OUR jobs back. Posted by mandm84 |

wisemagic, those videos really tell us who Romney has been for 25 yrs ( A Corporate Pirate ). It's hard to watch without getting angry It makes me sick to my stomach to see Romney's greed and pleasure at everyday Americans anguish. Why in the world did the Republican party allow him to run ??? Does money matter over morality ? Everyone should see this, this isn't propaganda, these are real Americans punched in the gut by Romney. The ironic thing about it, is now he says he will bring jobs back to America and thinks he deserves to be our President. Ronald Reagan must be rolling in his grave. whenmittromneycametotown.com is a heartbreaker.

In Response to Re: Remember Folks, Romney Made Millions Sending OUR Jobs To China And Now Wants OUR Vote.: I wish that more people who aren't wealthy would see these videos. If they think that Mitt will create good jobs here, they're dreaming. Jobs that once paid a decent livable wage will go overseas where the foreigners will be paid a few $$$ for a long day at work. People need to speak up, to hold townhall meetings instead of being lulled by Romney's empty promises. It's so arrogant of him to blame Obama for China saying that he let them get away with alot when he's been outsourcing to China for years. I guess he thinks the American people are too stupid to see this, but many are low information voters. It's difficult to understand how Romney made his money because it's out of the realm of most of us to understand big finance, but they should listen to these hard-working average people who lost so much while Romney left with millions of $$$. Others, sadly, don't care as they hate Obama more than the dislike Romney.

intersan, the amazing thing is that the videos were made by fellow Republicans running against Romney in the primary. After seeing these videos it would be a crime if Romney wins. The problem is people watch Fox news and we know Fox is full of falsehoods.Fox is pro Romney because the corporate billionaires own Fox and they want tax breaks. When does the truth , not money, matter ? I like going to the congressional budget office or politifact.com for non partisan views. I was a Republican until 2004 and now I'm an Independent..Todays Republican party is so far right that its actually Plutocratic ( party run by the wealthy for the wealthy ).Response to Re: Remember Folks, Romney Made Millions Sending OUR Jobs To China And Now Wants OUR Vote.: In Response to Re: Remember Folks, Romney Made Millions Sending OUR Jobs To China And Now Wants OUR Vote. : I wish that more people who aren't wealthy would see these videos.

Ronald Reagan must be rolling in his grave. whenmittromneycametotown.com is a heartbreaker. Response to Re: Remember Folks, Romney Made Millions Sending OUR Jobs To China And Now Wants OUR Vote. : Posted by mandm84 I have been trying to tell people for quite a while now, Romney is not the answer. I know, many are not happy with Obama. But for the last 2 years Obama has had a Republican House, that refused to do anything. This video, in the first 7 seconds says " Our TOP PRIORITY IS TO DENY OBAMA A SECOND TERM". Not work on the economy, or try to get this country going again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4dwx0PNZWY The Republicans sabotaged Obama in order to make him look bad and so he would not be re-elected. The Republicans are not the conservative party anymore. Actually, there is not a lot of difference between Republicans and Democrats anymore. Sure the people still hold the old values, the politicians don't. Romney wants to spend 2 trillion in defense, and the military isn't asking for anything. Romney hasn't stood firm on any issue. He gives lip service to who ever is asking the question at the time. His budget has been through 6 analysts and none have had it work without an increase in taxes to.... the working people. His plan to cut taxes for the rich, has to be made up some where. He says by closing loopholes and limiting or removing deductions. That comes down to you, writing a check, at tax time, along with paying higher federal income tax. What he is saying in the debates is a big lie. 20% across the board won't work without someone paying. The rich get let off the hook, the poor don't have any money and that leaves.... the working people. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/16/lies-damned-lies-and-jobs/ Mitt Romney's tax plan could force 95 percent of the country to pay more, while cutting taxes for the "1%" by tens of thousands of dollars, according to a new analysis from the Tax Policy Center and the Brookings Institution. http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2012/08/how-romney-could-raise-taxes-on-95-of-the-country-in-1-tall-graph/260585/ http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2012/10/16/romney-tax-plan/ http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/16/opinion/mitt-romney-needs-a-working-calculator.html?_r=1 http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/07/robert-gibbs-mitt-romney-budget_n_1946214.html http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/10/clever-dnc-website-mocks-romneys-vague-impossible-tax-plan/263678/ http://www.ctj.org/taxjusticedigest/archive/2012/10/romneys_idea_to_limit_deductio.php Romney won't even give details as to what deductions he wants to end, or what loopholes he intends to fix. Obama said it in the second debate, "Romney himself wouldn't go into a deal as blind as the one he is asking the American people to go into." This budget that Ryan came up with would put the rich at a .84% tax bracket. Less than 1% for the 1%. Ryan says the math is to complex to explain. Romney, says he can fix everything and create 12 million jobs. Government doesn't create jobs. They try to maintain a stable economy, so companies can create jobs by demand for their products and services. Romney/Ryan have been blowing smoke since day one. Like I said, I'm not trying to take up for Obama. But even when I don't want to do something my boss asks, I do it to keep my job and keep things rolling. The Republicans wouldn't work with Obama, and that's what has caused a lot of things to be the way they are. Bush left a mess, and the clean up will take years. 2 wars alone cost 3.6 billion a month. Bush ran that tab for 7 of his 8 years. The Republicans, sitting around for 2 years and collecting a check for nothing, instead of working on a solution is just sick. I've talked to some Republicans, and have yet to get one to tell me any specific issue that Romney is for, that they really like, other than this tax cut, which is a fairy tale to get votes. The Republicans had a lot better to choose from. Why Mitt? God only knows. I don't know how people can consider this man, when you have no idea what his plans are. He's been on both sides of the fence on everything. He's made gaffes on 47% of this country, women, Latinos, 4 or 5 other countries. The man is openly prejudice. His words were not slip of the tounge. Those words were spoken smoothly and fluently.... from the heart. You let the Vulture Capitalist in the white house, you may as well sign a blank check and send it to DC. He's ruined peoples lives, destroyed jobs and bankrupted companies, "to make a profit... that's the name of the game". He says it in the videos. His health care voucher plan will double our cost. Rich people don't worry about the cost. http://www.msmagazine.com/news/uswirestory.asp?ID=13930 I'm Libertarian. Our party has been excluded from all the debates, and we don't have the super pac's like the big 2. We are the 3rd largest party, and growing. And the only true conservative party left. In a true democracy, we should have been heard. We are on 48 state ballots. The polls don't include us, but the real vote will. A lot of Republicans won't vote for Romney, and a lot of Democrats won't vote Obama. We will get some of those votes, and some just won't vote this year. But we will pull votes from both parties. 5 of Obama's backers are big banks. 4 of Romney's backers are big banks, and the 5th... Bain Capitol Investments. Romney has money all over the world. Other countries and banks are having tough economic times just like the U.S.. I think Romney wants to bring his money home, but doesn't want to pay taxes. I think he doesn't want to show any more tax returns, because he was able to get his rate to a single digit. He claimed he paid 13% in 2011. Fact is, he didn't take all of his deductions and actually paid 500,000.00 more than he needed to. That's how he got up to 13%. Now that he has shown a 13% year, he can file an amended return, and get that 500,000.00 back. Then his 2011 return will actually be at 12.2%. When his campaign first started he claimed he paid 13% and with his charity closer to 20%. Pure lie. This man is in this for himself. The big defense build up.... why? What's on his mind? Iran for sure. What else? Why does a 65 year old man with 250 million dollars want to take on the headache of the world? Can't be for the money. He's averaging 20 million a year. Presidency only pays a little over 400,000.00 a year. He want's to fix the country? Warren Buffet is dumping stocks. Why? Quote by Buffet: "When it comes to politics, I am given to wariness. I am inclined to suspect that the candidates are – how shall I say? – less upstanding and less principled than they at first seem, and I regret to have to report that my suspicions are usually borne out. The more I learn, alas, the less I generally find to like." http://ricochet.com/main-feed/Warren-Buffett-and-Mitt-Romney http://www.moneynews.com/Outbrain/billionaires-dump-economist-stock/2012/08/29/id/450265?PROMO_CODE=FFAD-1&utm_source=taboola Republicans did everything they could during the long campaign for the party's 2012 nomination to signal that they wanted Anyone But Romney. They got themselves all excited about Michele Bachmann, and Herman Cain and Newt Gingrich (seriously?). They even voted for Rick Santorum, again and again and again. The Ron Paul people never gave up. When all was said and done, Romney's money bought him the nod. That did not mean, however, that Republicans ever could or would come to love him. http://www.thenation.com/blog/169648/they-love-lies-paul-ryan-tells# Romney didn't campaign in Massachusetts, his home state. Why? 54% dis-approval rating when he left the office of Governor. It would not have gone well for his campaign. 3 Electoral College members may pass on GOP ticket. http://www.themeshreport.com/2012/09/3-electoral-college-members-may-pass-on-gop-ticket/ Romney Plans 15 Navy Ships Built Yearly in First Term at a cost of 53.3 billion. Guess who pays for them.... working people. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-10-11/romney-plans-15-navy-ships-built-yearly-in-first-term-aide-says.html So, what more could you ask for? Romney....an ethical and moral disaster. People are listening to this man and eating it up. Research is all you need to see the truth. You think this country is in bad shape now? Romney could destroy it. |
