Romney Ad Lies About Jeep Jobs Going to China

Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Mitt Romney continues airing an ad that claims Chrysler will send Jeep production to China.  Evidently, Romney believes he knows something that Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne refutes in his statement,“Jeep assembly lines will remain in operation in the United States and will constitute the backbone of the brand. It is inaccurate to suggest anything different.”  

In fact, the only mention of adding jobs in China referred to Chrysler's mention increasing production in China for vehicles for use in China.  Chrysler plans to add 1,100 jobs in Toledo, Ohio to build the new models of Jeep.

So, Mr. Romney, drop the pretense and scrap the ad.  You failed to mention that Chrysler has added about 7000 American jobs, since it emerged from bankruptcy in 2009.  Compare the strides made by both Chrysler and GM to the performance of the financial services firmed bailed out during the Bush administration.  The facts about their continued missteps can't be denied.

Speaking of facts, isn't it time you revealed the specifics of your tax plan.  Everything this blogger has read about your proposal to cut everyone's taxes by 20% state that it can't be done without massive cuts to crucial programs.  Stop spouting generalities and provide voters with specifics.  I know it's difficult, but you don't have much time left.  "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

Am I the only one that sees Romney's nose growing?
