ROMNEY's Patriots Revealed At Sensata

“They were having in event in Bettendorf, Iowa. And they—if you went online, you could get these free tickets, so we decided we would go. And I was seven rows from the podium that he stood behind. And I asked him, “Will you please come to Freeport, Illinois, and help Sensata employees save their jobs?” At that point, we were removed. And as we were being removed, his supporters are screaming—first they start a “U.S.A.” chant. And we’re like, “Yes, we agree.” And then they started calling us communists for trying to keep our jobs from going to China. And I have never understood that yet.” — Tom Gaulrapp, who worked at Sensata Technologies for 33 years.

Jesus was a gun toting, wall street businessman who condemned gays and was definitely white. Anyone who disagrees is a pinko-commie librul traitor.

That's why over 1900 years later, Jesus resurrected as Hitler and took his revenge on those gawt-danged JEEEWS!

The People At Sensata Should Be Asking The Justice Department And The People At Transportation Safety To Look Into This Sale. The Sensors That Sensata Manufactures Are Used In Automobiles And Aircraft. China Has Quite A Record Of Manufacturing Dangerous And Sub-Par Consumer Goods. Do We Want Something That Our Lives May Depend On Being Made In A Third-World Labor Camp Where The Workers Are Treated Like Slaves - Overworked And Underpaid?

Is ask why the media has put this on the back burner. Why is this man so far ahead in the polls because of one debate and yet, contridictory to his own comments about comming down hard on china, is this man invested in a company that's shipping jobs to china. why is this not news? Don't expect it to come up at the debate tonight because that too is a setup. Romney will have all his cronies in the audience asking only the questions he already knows ahead of time. This presidential race is a shamm, a mockery, and a discrace to America. But the real impact will be 2 years after he takes office.

I cannot imagine reacting like that to those who are fighting for their jobs. And I will never understand the Repugnants' lack of compassion. What makes these people tick?
