Romney Ignores Bainport While Trying to Take Back 47% Comments

Romney Ignores Bainport While Trying to Take Back 47% Comments




Mitt Romney refuses to even meet with the folks from Bainport and yet he expects the public to believe that he didn’t mean what he said about the 47% of Americans being lazy and feeling entitled to healthcare and food.

Bainport is a community set up outside of the Bain owned Sensata factory in Freeport, Ill, that is “fighting to save our jobs from being shipped to China by the end of this year. We are calling on Mitt Romney to come to Freeport, IL and we will camp across the street from our plant for as long as it takes!”

Bainport is comprised of hard working people whose jobs have been harvested for profit by Mitt Romney’s company. Bain made the Freeport workers train their Chinese replacements, and is now shipping equipment to China to set up shop where labor is 85% cheaper than in the US.

like the worst plague ever! Let's hope these workers have spread their stories to everyone they meet, everywhere they go. I hope they have convinced enough people in key swing states to vote for Obama!

There are plenty of Republicans losing their livlihoods at the Sensata plant, too.

While I am certainly partisan, and an Obama supporter, we want Romney to make that 3 am phone call and stop the outsourcing of 170 American jobs.

We'll worry about the election on Election Day.
