Romney tells Ohio crowd Chrysler moving Jeep factories

Posted: Oct 29, 2012

Chrysler's statement (and italics): "Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China."

BTW, the Daily Beast calls this an example of Romney's many "**-You lies," "dishonesty so blatant, so consciously abusive of facts that everyone knows." My indignant descriptions have been much longer, but their...very succint version says it all.

No lie is too big to tell if it will win him the election. - He is "Lying for the Lord". nm

Gets better. After being called a liar, he made a TV ad (!) out - of the allegation. Apparently the press decided

it's them he's offering his **lies to, not just "us," and they're ticked off. They actually commenting on this lie, instead of obligingly just quoting it for him.

"Last week, the news that Chrysler and its Italian parent Fiat are in talks to consider building Jeep plants in China caused some confusion in the media about the auto company actually shifting all Jeep production to China, which isn’t the case — and at an appearance in Ohio last week, it seems that Team Romney did seize on the news too fast by positing that U.S. production facilities might be jumping ship and heading overseas. However, this ad isn’t perpetuating that misrepresentation — I think it’s simply calling President Obama out on his intellectual inconsistency."

It's déjà vu all over again! GM again caves to Chinese pressure. In September it was the electric car. In April it was the Cadillac.

The Chinese government made its latest move in December. That's when The Guardian reported that the Chinese government raised its already high 25% tariff upon American-made vehicles, concerned that increasing numbers of big-engine cars were being purchased by Chinese consumers:

General Motors faces the greatest impact, almost 22% extra on some sports utility vehicles (SUVs) and other cars with engine capacities above 2.5 litres. Chrysler faces a 15% penalty, while a 2% levy will be imposed on BMW, whose US plants make many of the cars it exports to China.

Existing taxes and duties already push up the cost of US imports by 25%, and the new levies make it even more expensive for Chinese consumers to buy American.

Now we learn what they were after. In a May 2 Huffington Post commentary ("Commies in Cadillacs: GM Turns Chinese"), economists Peter Navarro and Greg Autrey reported that GM will build its luxury cars in China instead of exporting them to China. They began:
General Motors announced this week that it will start building the Cadillac XTS, CTS and ATX in China in an attempt to keep up with the insatiable demand for luxury consumption by that nation's nominally Marxist elite. It seems that Communist Party princelings and their crony capitalist clients just can't get enough Caddies, not to mention the BMWs, Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

This will be a joint venture with SAIC, the company that owns 51% of GM's China business. The announcement of the new factories was made by the vice president of GM China at a Beijing auto show on April 23. Valuewalk.com reports:

In 2012, GM will build the new 2013 Cadillac XTS sedan in China, followed by the ELR luxury electric coupe.

Currently, China is only selling one model, the large-length luxury sedan, the Cadillac SLS; it is built in the country while it imports the CTS, SRX crossover and Escalade from U.S. and Mexico plants, reported The Detroit News.

Nine months ago, the same scenario played out even more quickly. On September 16, the Wall Street Journal reported ("Road Gets Bumpy for GM in China") that the Chinese government was pressuring GM to give away its proprietary electric car technology. At that point, GM was refusing. Here's a selection:

GM would like to bring its Volt electric car into China. But Chief Executive Dan Akerson said he refuses to share electric-car technology in exchange for hefty consumer rebates from the Chinese government that would juice sales of the vehicle.

Just one week later, on September 22, the NY Times reported ("GM to develop electric cars with Chinese automaker") that GM had caved to the Chinese government demand:

HONG KONG: General Motors said Tuesday that it would develop electric cars in China through a joint venture with a Chinese automaker [SAIC], and would transfer battery and other electric car technology to the venture.

As a condition for doing business in China, the Chinese government requires that GM share its made-in-America technologies with SAIC, which is both its Chinese partner and its competitor. Back in 2009, Bloomberg reported ("GM Set for 'Harder Life' in China as Partner SAIC Adds Models") that SAIC is already using GM's technology to produce cars for the Chinese market, outside its partnership with GM. In February, SAIC got GM's electric car technology. In April, SAIC got GM's Cadillac technology.

The Daily Beast? Oh, please. - Act like you've been somewhere.

What Romney said, EXACTLY, was "I saw a story today that..." - and that is probably TRUE - he DID see the story because there were several of them published to this effect.

Most MAJOR newspapers have analyzed and disagree with you. - Would you like a list of their quotes?nm

Read some more. Fiat IS thinking about mfg Chryslers/Jeeps offshore - FOR EXPORT TO US.

[ In Reply To ..]
Ah, yes, knowledge. A good thing to have before spouting.

Fiat IS considering building Chryslers and Jeeps for export back to the US. The error in the first report is that the factories will be in Italy, not China.

Here's the link to the Bloomberg article - read it and weep.

He failed as president because he is incompetent, dishonest and not interested in the actual work of governing. His statist policies helped consign millions of Americans to a lower standard of living and his odious class warfare further divided the nation. He had no intention of uniting the country — it was his Big Lie.

The relevant information is about halfway down this discussion of Fiat's financial difficulties - and the proposal to build C/J's in Italy.

Well Obama lied about owning his first vehicle, - a JEEP at age 30.

Even president Clinton stated this to a crowd. Obama actually owned a Ford Impala when he was younger.

Plus a Bloomberg poll said women were moving toward Romney on economic issues but holding back on social issues, especially abortion, confirmed by other pols.

Ryan also then said their position on abortion has not changed. Romney's previous positions have been that he is absolutely against abortion. That ...

Ohio voting just got a little harder, not because early voting has been cut down, and not because of new ID restrictions. That's right. Republicans are doing everything in their power to ensure a win in Ohio. The latest tactic works on a county by county basis. County by county it is decided whether or not to extend hours at the voting sites. Each county has a commission comprised of two dems and two pubs. You would think this would be a good thing to extend hours in this state right? ...

Police couldn't talk him down, and he he climbed 40 feet up to avoid them, so they decided to let him be--for 5 cold hours--and when he finally climbed down he was arr ...
