Over the course of the last days, Romney and Ryan have made
claims that the Jeep Division of Chrysler Motors is moving jobs from Toledo,
Ohio to China. While nothing could be
further from the truth and this claim has even been denied by the CEO of
Chrysler as well as press releases from Chrysler that actually state the
company is investing in modernizing the Toledo facility as well as adding
employees to this facility, the Romney/Ryan claim continues. Perhaps Romney/Ryan do not understand the
difference between adding a totally different facility and shutting down an
existing facility. For an explanation,
they only need to look no further than Freeport, Illinois. Here, in a town in Illinois (which is in the
United States, by the way)a company called Sensanata, owned by Bain Capital (a
company of which Romney was CEO and still owns 51% of the stock) is in the
process of shutting down and shipping 170 jobs to China.(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/24/sensata-bain-mitt-romney_n_2009025.html) Republican Presidential candidates must not
realize that shutting down a company and shipping manufacturing equipment to
China combined with the layoff of 170 employees is not considered by anyone in
Freeport, IL, JOB CREATION! In spite of
denials and claims to the contrary, the Romney/Ryan campaign continues to
spread this and other lies. We are
paying the price of having a President and Vice-President who think it is OK to
lie to the American public or to lie to Congress. Ask the survivors of the 4000 killed in action in Iraq whether it
is OK for our Presidents to lie. Romney/Ryan
together have had difficulty separating fact from fiction. Before even winning the nomination,
fact-checkers enumerated over 59 Romney lies told during the campaign for the
nomination. At the republican
nominating convention, even the press was floored by the number and scope of
lies on the part of Paul Ryan in his acceptance speech. The Republicans clamor for small
government. Where is their call for
honest government?
