Um, exactly how does this fit into anything being discussed? Oh yeah, you're pointing out how smart Romney is by avoiding town... Singular, not towns, plural...

So by your definition, a question is now a complaint?

Are you in some doughnut induced insulin shock?  She didnt complain, the city manager did, and he was the only one.  Hardly a town, innit?

Singular is not synonymous with single, so you're misunderstanding the English here--it's not talking about "one" town, but rather that Romney skips towns ravished by Bain Capital.

Sensible strategy. But you wanted towns were Romney isn't welcome. There they are.

So Romney isn't welcome in a town that Bain has affected 11 years after he left the company? Kinda stupid to be angry at Romney when he might be the next guy who can bring back the jobs they're whining about... Doncha think?

Why not claim that Bush isn't welcome in San Francisco while your at it?

Dude. YOU asked for towns where Romney wasn't welcome.

Drink less. Think more.

Lets examine the story anyway, shall we?

quote:


The Sensata Technologies plant, which has been on the forefront of producing state-of-the-art automotive sensors, was owned by Texas Instruments, and then by Honeywell, before being sold in 2010 to Sensata Technologies Holding, N.V, a firm based in the Netherlands but majority-owned by Bain Capital. Bain, the private equity firm that Mitt Romney helped to develop and that continues to make him a very rich man, has since consolidated ownership of Sensata.

Ok here we have an acquisition made by Bain 11 YEARS after Romney left, but somehow he's still getting blamed for it.

quote:

The workers at the plant wanted Romney to make a slight detour on his bus trip and take a look at the devastation being caused by Bain’s machinations at a plant where many of them have worked for more than thirty years.

The plant’s operations are rapidly skrinking as Sensata moves to outsource work from Illinois to China.

Funny how they don't mention GfuckingM building a plant in China, and that maybe the plant GfuckingM is building is the plant that needs the sensors... Or it could have had something to do with the Illinois tax rate of 9%

I thought Chum's links were pathetic...

Ok, isn't Scott Walked being investigated for fraudulent use of tax payer money?

Why does Obama's campaign deny NH residents the funds it will cost them for a CAMPAIGN stop? I could understand if this was a Presidential visit, but technically it's not, Obama isn't going there on official business.

quote:


DURHAM, NH -- The Obama campaign is locked in a stalemate with a small New Hampshire town over who should foot the cost for police protection for the president's visit on Monday.

Durham Town Administrator Todd Selig says the Obama campaign should pay the $20,000 to $30,000 in police overtime costs it will take to provide adequate protection for the president's visit to Oyster River High School on Monday afternoon.

But the Obama campaign says it won't pay, which has prompted the Durham Town Council to call a special Monday morning meeting to address the issue.

"Certainly we welcome candidates," Durham Town Councilor Diana Caroll said. "It's important for our democracy. But when it comes to presidential candidates, it does cost a lot of money for all the services... Who pays for that? That's the question."

An Obama campaign official confirmed Saturday night that it will not cover the cost of any police details associated with Monday's visit. Typically, the campaign does not pay for security planning, the source said, only for expenses related to the event itself. For example, the campaign is paying to use Oyster River High School on Monday.

No, I asked for towns that complained about a Romney visit, not towns where Romney wasn't welcome.
