There is nothing wrong with flying the Stars and Stripes during an election year; after all, in a democracy, people get to hear all sides and then decide whom they will vote for.
Unless, of course, your argument is based on a wrong assumption. Even worse if you make a statement in front of a wide audience based on misinterpreting a news report…
Mitt Romney, the Republicans’ 2012 presidential candidate, told an Ohio crowd last Thursday night that Jeep is considering moving all of its production to China.
"I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state Jeep — now owned by the Italians — is thinking of moving all production to China", Romney said during a rally in Defiance, Ohio, where a GM powertrain plant is based. "I will fight for every good job in America. I'm going to fight to make sure trade is fair, and if it's fair America will win."
If Romney did read the Bloomberg News story about Chrysler and its plans for producing Jeeps in China, he should have paid more attention or perhaps gone to the trouble of reading beyond the first paragraph.
Had he done so, he would have refrained from making that statement. Here’s what Bloomberg editor Craig Trudell wrote on October 22:
“Fiat SpA (F), majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers’ operations in the region.”
For argument’s sake, let's assume that the former Governor of Massachusetts skipped the “may eventually” part of Trudell’s intro. It’s impossible, though, to have missed the part where the editor clearly states that Fiat-Chrysler COO in Asia Mike Manley says that he was talking about “adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China”.

Mitt Romney stand in representation of the rat-fucking corporate vermin that are a blight on human society. Here's a man who lies with every word that comes out of his mouth, he didn't make a mistake, he knows he's losing this election, and will lose the key state of Ohio, largely based upon his decision to let the American automotive sector go bankrupt. He and his buddies at Bain Capital live for the day companies going out of business, and can be broken up, because that's how they became billionaires, with some $25 trillion of American people's assets sitting in offshore accounts doing nothing for no one.
This idiot and those who support him are so stupid, they have so little understanding of how a healthy economy works, that they don't realize that the world they would create would destroy them as well. All they see are dollar signs in their bank account, and the control they think it will bring them. He and those who support him represent the greatest threat the United States of America has ever faced, they are In no uncertain terms traitors to this country, and every action they take suborns treason. I look forward to the day where they stand trial, and are condemned to the gallows by a jury of their peers.
I think Romney and others like him have plenty of understanding of what they are doing. The forces at work here transcend mere Party politics. They will never be held to account unless we the people hold them to account, and they have already installed the control matrix that ensures that can never happen.
Ok, so he was right, they are considering moving all produciton to China. He didn't say they were, he said they were thinking about it. The company says they 'may eventually' do that. To me, thats the same thing.
No one will mistake Obama from someone who understands "how a healthy economy works" Aaron so your attacks on Romney are hypocritical at best and moronic at worst. Also, if you care to check a poll, any poll, you will see that Obama is LOSING even in swing states. So enjoy the next 4 years with Romney as your President because Obama is OUT. Nice mustache by the way. You look as insane as your post suggests.
Not that Obama is any better. If you don't realise or don't want to accept the fact that both are nothing but puppets, then you're a moron who deserves all the suffering that's coming and that is where I stop caring about those people. The ones that I do feel sorry for are the people who are aware of the show these 'candidates' put on, but who don't have a choice due to their circumstances and just have to get on with their day-to-day lives.
You are quite right though, Mr. Brown, and I agree with everything you said about Romney. Unfortunately the day when these scum are hunted down will not come in our lifetime. They have set up the system in such a way to almost guarantee that they will never be held accountable for their crimes.
Perfect this guy is going to kill America...
He's no fan of fact checking, or as people say in my country a dirty liar....
Fact checkers say he's right...

Shit Mitt Romney only reads and hears what he wants to further his campaign with bogus facts and figures.
How is this clown going to "fight for every good job in America" if he doesn't even know what the heck is going on?!?! He's also gotta be the BIGGEST flip flopper I've ever seen and he will tell you anything you want to hear. I'm not telling anyone who to vote for but just make sure you at least doo a little research on your own (without the help of Fox or MSNBC) before you check the box with Mitts name on it.
