WHY they are being built in China is irrelevant. The fact is, they WILL be built in China and there were NOT being built in China before. Again, that is a FACT.
Another fact is that a presidential candidate released an ad predicting that this would happen, and the CEO of said company LIED and said that the Romney ad was untrue. Do you REALLY believe that the CEO of Chrysler was not aware of this move a mere two months ago? WHY would the CEO of Chrysler condemn the Romney ad, knowing the ad was true? Why would he do this knowing it would hurt Romney and benefit the President? The very same President who used billions of dollars of tax payer's money to bail that CEO's company out of bankruptcy?
You SERIOUSLY see nothing wrong with this??
Follow the friggin' money, DUMBASS!!

So why aren't you railing against the president of the company?
That's the one you should be angry with.
But then, you wouldn't have anyone to fight with.
Dumb ass.
"thinking of moving all production to China"
Nothing has been moved. Jobs are not lost. Job are gained. They cannot continue paying the tariffs on importing the cars to China anymore. It's not a slight against America or its workers. Somethings you just half to do. You seem to ignore 1,100 jobs added in October and the other 1,100 being added this fall. They're still growing the workforce in the US and nobody is suffering. For China it was either they built them in China or China wouldn't be getting anymore.
You wanna know what's funny? The fact that the CEO SAID THIS in response to Romney.
"Chrysler does plan to produce Jeeps in China but only for domestic (Chinese) market sales, the maker has said. Indeed, virtually every major automaker now operates production facilities in China – critical to avoid hefty import duties."
This was reported WAY BACK WHEN THE AD RAN! So no, it didn't sneak up on him 2 months later. He was upfront about it.

From your link:
"The announcement by Chrysler that it would build Chinese Jeeps in that country was incorrectly reported initially, and despite a later correction in the media, the Romney campaign has continued to run with the inaccurate information.
There has so far been no word from the Romney campaign as to whether they will correct or otherwise stop using the inaccurate information about Chrysler’s plans for Jeep."

VP Joe Biden calls Romney's Chrysler ad an "outrageous lie".
OUTRAGE!
You're calling it a lie because you think Jeep is outsourcing jobs. They're not. It's still a US owned company that happens to have a factory in China to serve the Chinese market.
You didn't answer my question from earlier. Would you be as angry if a foreign car company operated a plant in the US, which was operated by US citizens, for the US market?
Are you as outraged that Apple has all of its products made in China?
What was said in the ad "Chrysler Plans to return Jeep production to China"
Even says at his campaign stop "Planning on moving ALL Jeep production to China.
Which is simply not true. They are ADDING jobs in the US. 1,100 jobs at a time.
This has been reported since the god damn ad came out. Why is this all of a sudden some sort of smoking gun for anything?
And stupid
A little?
I was going to ask how his mother/sister/cousin was doing....

Jungle Red, you REALLY do not understand this thread. Perhaps you and several others should stay out of the BIG BOY threads.
You make it sound as if Jungle Red and just 'several others' disagree with you. Please tell me, who else agrees with you Mikey? Who else is on your side? Who else thinks like you here on this Broadway forum. Abby? Guess that explains why he/she created another user account.Do tell us who the other BIG BOYS are besides you.

"What was said in the ad "Chrysler Plans to return Jeep production to China"

You are wrong; that is NOT what the ad said. You can watch the ad at the link below. The ad said that Obama sold Chrysler to the Italians "who are going to build Jeeps in China". That is what the ad said. And now Chrysler is going to build Jeeps in China. I am not sure why so many people have a hard time understanding this, it is really VERY simple.
(Acutally I DO know why so many people have a hard time understanding this; stupidity and pigheadedness.)
Ad
The voice over says "Who are going to build Jeeps in China" while a clipped section from Bloomberg reads "...Plans to return Jeep Production to China..." It's not difficult to get what was meant and what he said at his campaign stop clearly illustrates what he meant when he said "Planning to move all Jeep production to China"
Chrysler has been upfront about their expansion to other markets, like all other automakers, and that it wouldn't cost US Jobs. They're ADDING jobs. Why do you continue to completely ignore that?
We have known for MONTHS about them building in China. Since this who thing started. You don't have some sort of smoking gun here. It wasn't some secret information. IT IS PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. Chrysler is moving nothing. Firing nobody. And growing the company.
It is very simple indeed. Why you continue to argue this I haven't a ****ing clue.

Can't argue with that.
Oh, cute! It's like Fox News: you took TheatreFan's post and edited it to mean something entirely different.
"Can't argue."
No, you can't, can you?
Mitt the Liar, who Mikey thinks is a decent human being, did the same thing. Dishonest lying minds think alike.

I'll take that as a victory. Now go play in your filth, Mickey.
