Mitt Romney is touring America for some reason, and on Thursday he was in Lorain, Ohio, at a National Gypsum plant that is no longer open, which he LOVES to do despite the fact that he was complicit in the closure of more things than many presidents. During this sadsack appearance the presumptive/uous Republican nominee said the reason that the plant is no longer open is President Obama and his failed somethings. Curiously,
Ohhhhhhh... so Romney's waiting until after he wins the White House to tell the truth.
Unless, of course, that's a lie too.
Oh hey, it's Friday, that must mean it's time for Part XIV of "Chronicling Mitt's Mendacity" over on Maddowblog.
(Ted Strickland was still Gov. in 2008; National Gypsum was probably doing quite a lot worse back then since as has been pointed out elsewhere, the housing market falling off a cliff is bad news for manufacturers of products mostly used in new housing and renovations)
The guy has no job. He can google stuff all day to avoid these mistakes. Maybe he can&#039;t afford a good internet connection. <b>Mitt:</b> Press the phone snugly into the rubber cups.
Or he could ask one of his Joe Lunchpail comrades, perhaps while they&#039;re standing on the unemployment line.
Since Mitt is running to be Dubya&#039;s third term, he should embrace that plant closing as his own. &quot;It may be sad to see a plant close, but that is how capitalism works. Markets pick winners and losers, not the government. And when a plant closes, it creates opportunities somewhere else*. That is the kind of leadership I brought to Massachusetts**. And that is what I will do for America&#039;s middle class.&quot; _______________________________ * Cayman Islands ** #47 in nation for job creation while he was governor
Confusing. I thought unproductive plants or industries (like GM and Chrysler) were supposed to close so that the invisible hand of the market could solve the problem.
What, Don Novello AND Toni Morrison? Lorain, I hardly knew ya.
Well, I&#039;ll accept that. I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s ass for either the Sox or the Yanks, but that was pretty fucking cool.
You know, you&#039;re really too good at this.

This Time It&#039;s Fiscal.
Clearly, he can&#039;t do it by himself.

It is easy, you just stop and hose off all the lies running down the back of his campaign.

Sheet rock has a better personality that Rmoney...except sheet rock from china, that is.
IMHO. Yes. But it was harder for them to spread. Today we have the internet, narrow-casting on cable teevee (aka Fox News), and Citizens United.
Repeat a lie often enough...
