Did Romney say "Let Detroit die" because he cannot make anything worthwhile? [View all] RandySF Jan 2012 OP

Don't most Americans agree with him, though? Romulox Jan 2012 #1

Well, it's deeply personal to a child of a Detroit auto worker. RandySF Jan 2012 #2

It could very well cost Romney Michigan. democrat_patriot Jan 2012 #3

I doubt it. Romney has little chance of winning Michigan, regardless. Romulox Jan 2012 #5

Honda can't claim their cars are "Made in the USA", so they don't. The phrase is REGULATED Romulox Jan 2012 #16

80% of the parts in a Honda Accord are made in America. 20% for the Ford Fusion. hack89 Jan 2012 #18

According to the FTC, *neither* Honda Accord nor Ford Fusion are "Made in the USA". Romulox Jan 2012 #19

The highest domestic content of ANY car is 85%. It looks like NO cars are "Made in the USA" nt hack89 Jan 2012 #21

I doubt your number (it's not by weight, but by $$$ value.) You aren't contradicting my argument. Romulox Jan 2012 #22

I never said they did . hack89 Jan 2012 #23

You were kinda of arguing like you were. Now you are moving the bar, too. Why not just be honest Romulox Jan 2012 #24

But if there are no cars "Made in the USA" then what's your point? hack89 Jan 2012 #29

That's YOUR assertion; back it up or withdraw it. Romulox Jan 2012 #31

I cannot prove a negative. I cannot find any cars that meet the legal definition. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #35

Let's settle with "hack89 cannot provide any reference to a claim that Honda is 'Made in the USA'" Romulox Jan 2012 #36

But I agree with you that Honda is NOT 'Made in the USA'. hack89 Jan 2012 #37

Cool beans. Romulox Jan 2012 #38

So you really don't know do you? You cannot name a single car that is 'Made in the USA' can you? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #40

And you haven't even touched the UNION issue, which really gets more to the heart of the matter. Romulox Jan 2012 #26

Honda should be unionized. hack89 Jan 2012 #30

" that is not a make or break issue for me" SOLIDARITY in all other respects, though, right? nt Romulox Jan 2012 #33

No - I take it on a case by case basis. nt hack89 Jan 2012 #39

That's the joke. Romulox Jan 2012 #41

So? nt hack89 Jan 2012 #42

If it werent for Honda Charlemagne Jan 2012 #32

NW Ohio's gain = whose loss??? (that's how union-busting works.) nt Romulox Jan 2012 #34

I heard about a RW "study" which was pointing out the number of "foreign cars" parked in "liberal" zbdent Jan 2012 #7

I thought teachers were supposed to be about unions, though. That's not very consistent. nt Romulox Jan 2012 #9

Wonder if he could tell which teachers were Republicans ... zbdent Jan 2012 #11

ALL public school teachers are union members, and should be standing in SOLIDARITY with other union Romulox Jan 2012 #12

so you're saying "all public school teachers are liberals"? zbdent Jan 2012 #13

No. nt Romulox Jan 2012 #14

And you think that means Americans want the US Auto Industry to die?? JoePhilly Jan 2012 #17

I think a significant minority would, yes. Many, many more are simply indifferent. Romulox Jan 2012 #20

The dog whistle part of Detroit has nothing to do with the auto industry. JoePhilly Jan 2012 #25

The HELL it don't! nt Romulox Jan 2012 #27

Union bashing, too. Dog whistle. nt Romulox Jan 2012 #28

First, they don't use Dog Whistles to attack Unions ... JoePhilly Jan 2012 #43

NO unionworks Jan 2012 #44

His quarter-billion net worth. HughBeaumont Jan 2012 #4

Romney does not want to be President superpatriotman Jan 2012 #10
