The auto industry does need to be restructured, not excused for its incompetence. Reducing the burdens on the industry so our companies can be more competitive with foreign companies, however, is also part of the solution. Competent conservatism is the way to go.
We have a brilliant, competent man who has the right plan at the right time for all of the right reasons, yet you feel the need to lie about him endlessly. Sad.
But...but...but...he’s a MORMON!!! Not even Christian.
Myth Romney advocates all sides of issues (such as the auto bailout).
Makes him right some of the time usually.

Your Master is not competent. Certainly not brilliant. Closer to a a failure and
during a real crisis no one should take the "advice" of a failed ex-GovernorRomney
who --when Massachusetts' economy was roaring--, busted it,
and got a "C"-rating from the Cato Institute.
And that was even before Romney's fascist socialist RomneyCARE was installed.
Romney also betrayed President Bush. Here are the facts.
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.

Nobody is saying that Romney is opposed to a bailout. Romney, has discovered the “brilliant plan” of allowing the Big 3 to file bankruptcy that 3/4 of the country is advocating. That’s not the issue.
The issue on this thread is that Romney advocated that the “transplants” be made to “share the cost” that poor management and Union contracts have imposed on Detroit. Sort of like Obama’s plan for Joe the Plumber applied to corporations.
