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

Sure ... the GOP is going all in on the racist dog whistle thing ... no argument there.

But attacking the "US auto industry" does not carry the dog whistle with it.

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 has 600 American companies making OEM and repair parts for their cars hack89 Jan 2012 #15

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

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
