Impossible. You can't off-shore an entire city, nor can you load it up with debt, grab the money and liquidate it. And that's pretty much the extent of the Romney playbook.
better than the obama playbook, tax it until there isnt anything left to tax, then blame it on someone else.

BECAUSE this Presdient has no leadership qualities at all. Doesn't know a damn thing about anything, blame it on this person that person, the other side, taking no responsibility at all. Use scare tactics, bully unless someone agrees with you, use intimidation, what a freaking putz.
Don't know how we got here my butt.
Then again, that is the Chicago Way is it not. Obama and Chicago, a match made in Heaven!
His supporters must be the most naive people around. Some of us ain't stupid, and we don't buy the crap he is selling.
Mitt moved to Bloomfield Hills when he was a little tyke... he's hardly a son of blue collar Detroit.
Dennis Archer was great for Detroit, but was practically run out of town by the corrupt Coleman Young supporters who claimed Archer was too "white" and gave too much to the suburbs. So they ended up getting what they wanted with Coleman Yound part 2, aka Kwame Kirkpatrick. Mitt wouldn't have a chance in that city, but as a liberal, even I'd agree, he'd do more for the city than anyone since Archer.
To be honest a corrupt conservative economy is better than a corrupt liberal economy. In both cases the poor get equally screwed as there is less money for social handouts due to tax cuts (conservative) or it being embezzled (liberal). But the middle and upper class tax payers are also hurt in a corrupt liberal economy due to the increased taxes.
The state of Michigan has been under GOP leadership in recent years. I haven't heard of any improvement as a result. But then, I haven't been keeping my finger on the state's pulse, either. Seems that if things were getting better the GOP wouldn't miss an opportunity to point it out, though.
You're wrong. The GOP just hasn't dumbed down enough to compete with low IQ, zero information, really dumb voters. Really, really dumb voters. You know.....0bama voters.
In my MBA program I was taught to present anything that the public will see at a 5th grade reading and comprehension level, because that is what the public can actually understand.
If you knew anything about me you'd know I spent many years in Japan........
Doesn't mean jack ...Detriot looks like Berlin in 1947
But Seattle doesn't look like 1945 Berlin. Neither does Portland,OR. San Francisco doesn't look like ruins either. Minneapolis is rately nicely for its quality of life. Boston, a very liberal city, looks quite nice as well.
This isn't about liberal vs conservative. Detroit was a city that built a large portion of its economy on the automobile industry. I don't believe liberalism was the mainly culprit. If it was, Seattle, Minneapolis, Portland, and Boston would all look like Detroit. With Detroit, it was a combination of a town trying to hold on to a single industry, severe racial tensions, drugs, and corruption. It also hasn't helped that education has been suffering in Detroit.

I seriously doubt that. Besides, I don't want the likes of Romney running anything. After some of the stuff he has said, no way.
