Mittens plans major economic speech at Ford Field where Detroit Lions play

[WI_DEM]

(He doesn't expect to fill the stadium, does he?)

Mitt Romney "is now set to deliver an economic speech at Ford Field -- where the Detroit Lions play -- on Feb. 24," First Read reports.

"You don't create a setting like that unless you have something new to say. Don't be surprised if this economic speech is used to make a better sale with conservative voters."

2. Something tells me that this is mittens the dog man's hail mary

3. Does anyone really think Mr. Corporate Serial Killer is gonna fix the economy??

Hell no! Mitt probably loves it just the way it is!

4. Every employed person in Detroit has a job over Mitt's strong objection. n/t

6. A bit of overstatement, but we get your point.

Believe or not, the vast majority of workers in SE Michigan do not work in the auto industry.

9. "In?" Of course not. But most work *because of* the auto industry.

5. Now who picked that venue?

Mitt-mentum doesn't really bring out big crowds.

Should be close enough for the wingers on the west coast to make it. I reckon the UAW will be able to get more bodies out to give Mittens a very special hello.

17. I deleted my post

and I can't help but take it personally

[JNelson6563]

19. Fair enough.

15. That is an NFC North team!

Take that back!

8. He and his audience could probably fill one suite

I think the stadium is going to be 99% empty. Unless his SuperPAC is supplying brats and beer for the occasion.

11. I guess I need to start making signs

I hope the weather is good

[JNelson6563]

14. I'd like to see billboards from the airport to the stadium

All with the quote "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt ~ Mitt Romney". Maybe have the Goodyear Blimp do some fly-overs with that message plastered on the side while Mittens addresses the crowd. Wouldn't that be fun?

18. I am thinking....

something like


The 1% Should
Go Bankrupt
Not Detroit


for one side of my sign

the other side may be

Another (R)
CEO/Governor?
No F_ing Way!





The stencils I use and the poster boards I use work with 3 short lines pretty well, they end up being all caps but I didn't want to do that here due to the "shout" factor.

12. Mitt's Big Announcement: "I Have Bought America Outright and You're All Fired."

"We've begun importing your replacements. Please work with them to train them to do your jobs otherwise you won't get a severance package."

"God bless America."

16. well, his plan is probably little boots failed plan

but, you see, little boot's needed to do more of the same failure. that's why the economy blew up under little boots. He should have made sure there were absolutely no regulation, so those global corporations could come here unhampered. And absolutely no labor laws or safety-yeah, that'll bring them. And little boots still made the worthy wealthy pay some tax; so, the wealthy shouldn't pay any tax, being so worthy and all, and then they'll spend that money on slave jobs.

Of course, since he was in the business to destroy US companies and send the jobs somewhere else, he may just say "screw the workers here, the only ones who count are my base", kind of like little boots did.
