    Default Is Mitt Romney the new Nostradamus?

    http://www.bizpacreview.com/2013/01/...tradamus-15715

    "The last two weeks should go down as a period of vindication for former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney and earn him the nickname, “soothsayer of the Western World” — a modern-age Nostradamus.
    On Jan. 14, Chrysler’s CEO acknowledged that Jeeps would be built in China, confirming a statement that unfairly earned Romney the moniker “liar of the year.”
    Score one."

    The Lies That Lying Liberal Liars Lie About.

    So, the the big Romney 'Lie of the Year' wasn't a lie at all, but a Propaganda Lie created by Liberal Liars and spread by their partners in crime, the MSM, to get their little Marxist Pragmatist re-elected..."By Any Means Necessary!"

    If he refiles his taxes he is not such a 'good' man.

    I see nothing in that link that confirms that statement other than another allegation. Chrysler said back in October that Jeeps would also be built in China. I see nothing that they wouldn't also be built in the US.

    The lie was that Chrysler was moving it's Jeep operation to China when the fact is they are opening another plant in China to manufacture Jeeps sold in China. So far I've not seen where they're shutting down their US Jeep operation.

    I doubt McCain, Mondale, or Dole really thought they had a shot on election night.

    Wanna bet? They may hope (of course they will hope) but they can see the writing on the wall if they are down 10 points going into election day.

    Okay, Grindelwald. This is just a dumb argument. You're right. You win.

    They're moving US production to China? Don't think so. Are they cutting back on US production?

    Odd, I just looked at the actual article on politifact, why doesn't it say what the righties claim it does?

    http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-me...ans-china-ame/
    Our ruling

    The Romney campaign ad says Obama "sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China" at the cost of American jobs. The ad leaves the clear impression that Jeeps built in China come at the expense of American workers.

    The ad miscasts the government’s role in Fiat’s acquisition of Chrysler, and it misrepresents the outcome. Chrysler’s owners had been trying to sell to Italy-based Fiat before Obama took office. The ad ignores the return of American jobs to Chrysler Jeep plants in the United States, and it presents the manufacture of Jeeps in China as a threat, rather than an opportunity to sell cars made in China to Chinese consumers. It strings together facts in a way that presents an wholly inaccurate picture.

    We rate the statement Pants on Fire!
    The original politifact article flat-out says that jeeps would be built in China! That's not what the lie was about.

    Honestly, you folks are embarrassing yourselves.

    Are you liberals that freaking stupid and blind. If Jeeps (even if it's just some of them) ar being built somewhere else, then they are not being uilt here. If we built them hee there would be more jobs. They're being built in China = no job increase here.
