Romney pays surprise visit to Solyndra

[OtherCheek]

"Who wants to put money in a solar company when a government puts a half a billion into one of its choice?” Romney asked, suggesting that investors and entrepreneurs would be less likely to found their own companies if they believe the government would help a competitor. “They don’t understand how the free economy works."

Obama really doesn't understand how a free market system works. This is proof.

He understands just fine. Follow the reasons.

I would rather he understood a Free Market Economy, instead of a Soviet Economy.

[Jedidiah]

Can't argue with that.

Romney is not only a liar, but he is also a hypocrite. He criticizes the President for investing government money into renewable energy companies like Solyndra when as governor of Massachusetts he did the same thing for multiple companies. He also claims to be a job creator, when in actuality he is just the opposite. At a time when the economy was booming, Massachusetts under Romney came in 47th out of fifty states in job creation. The three states that did worse than Massachusetts in job creation, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisianna were hit by Hurricane Katrina. And Bain Capital, the company Romney help to start, had no interest in creating jobs, its only purpose was to make money for its investers, and whether it created or destroyed the jobs of the people who worked at the companies they bought out was of no concern to him. So, though he may have a record of making his wealthy cronies a lot of money which they stow away in offshore banks, but what record of actual job creation does he have. Zero!

I don't like Obama. Therefore, your arguments are invalid.

Massachusetts went from the red into the black under Romney. Now, with liberals back in power, they are back in the red. You really don't like a free market economy do you.

Helpful hint: When you scream the accusation of "liar" at a person, you are turned off by most people. Usually after a roll of the eyes.

Oh I see, if you don't like the facts concerning his job creation credentials, which is what he has been running on, then change the subject? BTW, balancing the state budgett is mandated by law which the current democratic Gov. Deval Patrick has also done for the fourth straight year.

Really, then perhaps you should tell that to his republican primary rivals who have all pointed out this charecter trait of his, not to mention his own campaign manager, you know, the etch-a-sketch guy, who admitted that lying is Romney's main campaign strategy for winning the nomination. So, roll your eyes all you want, it doesn't change the fact that Romney will say anything in order to get elected, and the good part is that he knows that you will believe him.

Can you please provide a link to back up your claim that "the etch-a-sketch guy" admitted that "lying is Romney's main campaign strategy for winning the nomination."

As little as possible, Jaecp. And the election doesn't actually happen til November, so, no, haven't been watching it yet. And I'm really good at googling, usually, but I'm having a hard time finding where there was an admission that "lying is Romney's main campaign strategy for winning the nomination."

Can ya help an old guy out and narrow it down a bit?

Thanks

But maybe you can do better.

Cute, but boring.

I know you're better than that.

Well, you were pretty quick to jump in to bail out Jim on a silly claim, but now you're backing away? You were a bit condescending with your response, but you still can't produce.

How bout just admitting that Jim was wrong. OR, prove him right!

Jaecp gave you a link Cow Poke, though I am amazed that you have not seen the video for yourself. Romneys campaign manager was asked about all the things that Romney said in the primary and how they would hurt his chances in the general election and his answer was something to the effect that, it would be no problem, like an etch-a-sketch, he could erase it all and start all over. Which means that he is merely pandering, that he can't be trusted, that if he is elected he will be so under false pretenses. But this should not be a surprise to anyone who is actually paying attention. Romney has flipped on just about every issue of importance to his constituancy.
