Mitt Romney Plays Grim Reaper of Jobs in Ohio with Scary Lies about Jeep
Quote:
Romney took “a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats” Thursday when he said, “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. 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.”
Did you catch that? He saw a “story” alright, and just like Fox, he figured he’d “some people” reality by not bothering with it at all.
Here are the facts from the Chrysler Blog Post. They point out, “A careful and unbiased reading of the Bloomberg take would have saved unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments.” Ouch.

Let’s set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China. It’s simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the world’s largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation….
There are times when the reading of a newswire report generates storms originated by a biased or predisposed approach. On Oct. 22, 2012, at 11:10 a.m. ET, the Bloomberg News report “Fiat Says Jeep Output May Return to China as Demand Rises’ stated ‘Chrysler currently builds all Jeep SUV models at plants in Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Manley (President and CEO of the Jeep brand) referred to adding Jeep production sites rather than shifting output from North America to China.”
Despite clear and accurate reporting, the take has given birth to a number of stories making readers believe that Chrysler plans to shift all Jeep production to China from North America, and therefore idle assembly lines and U.S. workforce. It is a leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats.
The voters must be crazy to think of voting for Romney in a state such as Ohio where 1 out of 8 jobs is tied to the automotive industry. Obama saved those jobs, Romney wanted to let the auto industry go bankrupt!!
In the other battleground states such as Virginia, North Carolina, Florida which have sizable numbers of
evangelical Christians the main issues are strictly idealogical(gay marriage, abortion, etc), Romney will win.
Thomas Jefferson warned of politics getting mixed up with religion, he must be turning over in his grave right now!
Where Jeeps are manufactured is not up to Romney, Obama or Ohio. It is up to Fiat, the owner of the brand. Jeep died after Chrysler took them over anyway. Now they are glorified cars. Bring back CJ's, a REAL American vehicle.

Doesn't matter does it? You got the lie and spin that you wanted.
"We expect production of around 100,000 Jeeps per year which is expandable to 200,000," Marchionne, who is also CEO of Chrysler, said on the sidelines of a conference, adding production could start in 18 months."
