No they didn't. You're attempting to rewrite history.

If you take snap shots in time you'll see the republican party has been moving to the right since it's creation.

Teddy Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Richard Nixon would be too liberal to run for the democratic party nomination today. Even Reagan, Ford, and George HW Bush would be too liberal to win a republican primary.

Obama and Clinton would be too conservative to run as republicans in the 40's-70's.

The US has moved very very far to the right since Reagan.

No. Mitt Romney said to let Detroit go Broke. Sorry, it was "Banckrupt" "LET DETROIT GO BANKRUPT" Maybe you can elect him so he can make that happen in 2013. Get it now?

The biggest house in town is owned by a Banker, he has gone Bankrupt twice. Bankruptcy is a great way to go for those in high amounts of debt. Bankruptcy releases you from contractual obligations, otherwise Detroit will just have to PAY! Bankruptcy is PREFERRED!!

Mitt Romney inherited his 400 million dollar fortune from his daddy. His daddies company buys up failing companies, fires workers en mass, and sells for a profit.

How many middle class families were destroyed so Mitt could inherit that fortune and run for president? The presidency he is so entitled to.

Uh no, the direct quote was, "A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs." Which is exactly what happened. And I might add, Obongo was lucky enough to realize how sound that advise was. Do you get it now, do you!

Do you think you fool me? You don't. Not one bit.

"IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed." Mitt Romey.

They got their bailout Mitt Warned would KILL the auto industry.

"Exactly what happend" you say. Yeah, you don't fool me one bit. Sound advice to NOT bail out the industry?!?!?!?!? That was the advice.

What color is the sky in your world man?

Did they or did they not get the bailouts that Mitt Romney said would kill the industry?

Is the Industry dead?

Thanks for playing. Mitt, like you are wrong.

They got the "Managed Bankruptcy". The exact thing Romney was advocating for. This is a Quote from CNN's Gabriella Schwarz, "GM and Chrysler eventually filed for bankruptcy as part of a process orchestrated by the Obama administration through which the government took on an ownership stake in the companies.
In the 2008 op-ed, Romney advocated for a "managed bankruptcy" where the government would guarantee post-bankruptcy financing to "assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk."

So, you tried to twist, "advocated for a "managed bankruptcy" where the government would guarantee post-bankruptcy financing to "assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk." Into Romney promised to let Detroit go broke. Thats quite a stretch... Nope, not even that, it's bullshit.
