In reply to the discussion: The Image (and the story) that will Ruin Romney [View all]abelenkpe
(9,933 posts)Daily Kos? It's the FOX news of the left! Lunatic fringe nuttiness!
So what? Romney hasn't been at Bain for 11 years! He isn't the part of Sensata.
There is no image of the US flag replaced at the American plant or being flown at half mast.
Look! US jobs being off-shored under Obama.
They were inefficient! So 900 lost their jobs but 100 were saved!

That's the type of stuff I'm seeing conservatives say in response to this story.
The flag is melodramatic and draws away from the real story:
Jobs are being off-shored to China and candidate Romney is profiting from it.
I'm sure many in other industries can relate to the story of training their overseas replacement.
We should use this story as a reminder that good paying jobs are being lost because there are financial incentives that encourage US companies to relocate overseas. If we are serious about creating jobs here in the US we need to address this reality and reverse this trend right now. I personally am very interested in what the candidates are prepared to do to solve this problem and wish that someone at the town hall debate would ask them this.
