Ah, so Romney didn't actually commit the "deed", he just stood back and reaped the benefits while others did. In legal parlance he would be known as an "accessory", albeit in this case to a moral and ethical "crime".

*sigh* Mateo - As much as I understand that you want to turn this in to an election where people vote against Romney(Rather than voting for anyone in particular), do you really want everyone to apply the same standards? That owning stock in a company makes one responsible for every decision they make?

Because the President's investments are public knowledge. The last time I had to do this, it took me fifteen seconds to find out which investment funds he uses and who they invest in. Chick-Fil-A was one benefactor, meaning that the President is obviously against gay marriage.

If you'd like, I can do a more in-depth analysis. I know he uses J.P. Morgan, who invests in diamonds. The diamond trade is a hotbed of blood money, mercenaries and murder, however.

What do you say? I can do an in-depth analysis of the President's investments and then you will, of course, start a thread saying that "President Obama's contacts responsible for the murder of hundreds of innocent men, women and children every year." Can I assume that you are not completely partisan and you apply the same standards of judgment to the President as you do to Governor Romney?

I'll bet you've bought products that use slave or child labor..
That makes you an accessory.

Your point is weak. If you can't see the relevance, perhaps you're unqualified to be a Romney surrogate.

Romney's knows of this issue.

He's going to profit from it.

This is a prime example of an opportunity for Romney to intervene on behalf of workers whose jobs will be outsourced to China.

Romney would rather profit, than help save American jobs.

And Obama's investments in to J.P. Morgan and their hedge fund investment in to diamonds? Can I assume that you're now going to make a post about how Obama is willing to support blood diamond cartels?

Your point is dubious. Romney is every bit as responsible for his investments as Obama is. If you're going to apply that standard to Romney, you have to apply the same standard to Obama. And I can promise you that outsourcing will be the least of their sins at the end of that day.

You can assume I'm going to laugh at your inability to defend your candidate.

First sign of a weak argument: deflect to the other candidate.

For further teaching and instruction see; Republican, ie. Master of deflection

Shareholders can make requests/recommendations to the BoD appointed/nominated by the shareholders to run the company, but the BoD is not obligated or obliged to accommodate shareholder requests/recommendations.

It has been defended, because your inability to understand what is really going on, does not mean they are wrong.

Your lack of answering questions also shows your true leftist ways....some one will believe me...maybe if I say it loud enough....or enough times.....

Of course this is nothing to you. Until these folks need entitlements. Then you'll be screaming to let them starve rather than receive any benefit of the system they've paid into.

Oh, well. I guess he doesn't really mean that either.
Quelle surprise.
What opportunity? What is Mr. Romney's position with the company, that would allow him to decide which plants stay open and which ones move somewhere else?
