Mitt Romney Gets Tax Break Off Firm Sending Jobs To China

WASHINGTON -- Sensata Technologies is a healthy manufacturing company that employs nearly 200 workers at a factory in northern Illinois. The company has become the focus of national attention because it has been taken over by Bain Capital, which plans to shut the factory down, lay off the workers, and outsource the production to China before the end of the year.

The workers have pleaded with GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney, the founder of Bain Capital, to exert his considerable influence to save their jobs. Romney still makes millions each year in income from Bain. So far, he has declined to weigh in, and the factory is scheduled to close by the end of the year.

Help yourself. Another DUer said I could copy it. I got before things got really entertaining with R$'s campaign.

The downside is that one DUer thought it was just a giant ROTFLMAO. they didn't realize it was a mock-up of the campaign bumpersticker. When I expressed condolences in a thread to a third DUer, I got ripped for the sig line by one person, which appears on all posts unless you delete it. I'm not sure the DUer Ever understood what it was.
