What If Rmoney Saves The Sensata Jobs Before The Election?....

[global1]

What if Rmoney stops the sending of the Sensata jobs to China and all those people in Freeport that lost their jobs get to keep them? Will Rmoney be touted as a hero? Will the people of Freeport vote for Rmoney?

1. Would you? Or would you think it's a campaign stunt, especially if it happens now.

2. Not gonna happen.....greed trumps everything for his crowd.

17. You're absolutely right

Sensata has already spent money bringing those Chinese workers over. They probably have a plant built or leased. No way they stop the move. Romney would have accepted the workers request to meet if he had any intention of intervening.

3. Interject into the free market for the good of our citizens? That's SOCIALISM!

Capitalism must run its natural course no matter how many it destroys.

4. He likes fire people even more than he wants to be president

ain't gonna happen

[treestar]

5. He doesn't have control of that

The people who do want to make their money.

6. The inhaling sound is me starting to hold my breath until RobMe saves Sensata. nt.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Won't happen. It's so completely contrary to his ideology

that it would be recognized as a cheap campaign stunt.

[budkin]

8. Not worth drawing attention to what he did.

9. Freeport is in my backyard

It's a very blue collar town...but we're in a very red part of the state of Illinois. So while it may affect some, I don't think it'll change much. (Stephenson County IL where Freeport is located went for Obama in 2008 53% http://www.city-data.com/city/Freeport-Illinois.html graph is near the bottom of the page)

10. Lets hope he does

Under that scenario, Not only do the workers of sensata get to keep their jobs, but once again romney walks into a trap he himself set. If he steps in and saves their jobs, then every protest from Romney's mouth about how his money is in a blind trust or how he is not directly responsible for all the other things that Bain has done go right out the window.

He saves sensata, and becomes even more explicitly responsible for every other job he destroyed, for every dollar that was sent to tax sheltered accounts, etc. In essence, the lives he has mauled for personal gain would suddenly be right at his door.

18. ^This. Plus, to the wackadoodles on the right, it will look like he caved.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

11. I thought he was unemployed?

How could he do that?

[flyguyjake]

12. He would be cruicified, because that would be admitting he has been involved with Bain Capital!

[BlueStreak]

13. He will not. That would be an admission of guilt.

His tactic is to deny he has anything to do with it.

"You see, I haven't been part of Bain since 1999. And this matter of my $8 million being in the corporation that owns Sensata, well, that's in a blind trust -- just like the President has some money in Sensata too through his pension. You can't hold either of us to that. Why do you hate America so much?"

[napi21]

14. I honestly don't think that can happen.

I knw I saw some Chinese workers in Freeport being introduced to the american workers who have to train them. I have no idea if they've started shipping equipment yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. Hearing some of the employees saying their last day of work was today, that tells me some things have already been moved.

Besides, Mittens would't ever consider keeping that business in freeport.

[Brother Buzz]

15. Admit culpability and shine a national spotlight on the sordid business?

Not in a Brazilian years.

[krawhitham]

16. That is why Obama needs to bring up Sensata at the debate

Then if rMoney saves the jobs it will look like the President shamed him into it

But in reality the contracts are signed and it is a done deal, I do not think Bain will back out because it then hurts their corporate image

[ProudProgressiveNow]

19. It would be seen as a stunt!

I hope.

[Turbineguy]

20. Why not?

He can always fire them afterwards.
