kimmy Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think that if one of Chrysler's competitors ran ads making the claims Romney is making, Chrysler would sue for libel, and they'd have a slam-dunk case. -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercoma Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hell, Chrysler could probably make a case that Romney's comments will adversely affect their sales (people not buying their products out of protest for them moving jobs to China) and probably win a slander/libel case against him.

Certainly. The ads are intentionally misleading consumers about Chrysler's business practices. And financial damage in the form of lost sales is a likely result. Additional damage in the form of damage to their reputation is also an obvious effect of these ads. As far as I can tell this has the makings of a slam-dunk libel lawsuit. However, I don't think Chrysler would sue Romney. It would piss off a lot of potential customers. Also, if he's president after Tuesday, suing the president is probably a bad idea. -k -k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I like how the Romney cheerleaders often try to portray themselves as "objective" when they spin Romney's lies. Kind of like Fox "news" still advertises itself as "Fair and Balanced"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if he's president after Tuesday, suing the president is probably a bad idea. Chrysler is a two time bail-out loser that should go bankrupt or to China. The CAW can kiss Chrysler good-bye based on the most recent labour agreement. To clarify, the elected president isn't inaugurated until January 2013.

Pliny Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 From the CEO statement today I bolded the part for SHADY AND Scribbet who keep posting some unsourced BS article from business insider about Italy. Straight from the horses mouth ROMNEY and SHADY are LIARS. I expect a response of no one because I know when caught in a lie that conservatives run and hide. http://www.detroitne...0101/210300401/ So it is Oct 30th and there is their plan THEY WILL MOVE NO JOBS MITTENS IS A LAIR. Over and done with. You should also have bolded this part: "Together, we are working to establish a global enterprise and previously announced our intent to return Jeep production to China, the world's largest auto market, in order to satisfy local market demand, which would not otherwise be accessible." From The Detroit News: http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121030/AUTO0101/210300401#ixzz2BHmcEbKS That makes it quite clear that Jeep production would occur in China, if only for the local market. But that would be inefficient and Chrysler cannot afford to be inefficient and political at the same time without going broke. Result - Bye bye Chrysler.

Now because Jeep is growing and in demand in China they will go out of business? I can no wait for this thing to be over so people stop offering the worst backwards arguments I have heard. They are growing and investing their profits were up 80% in Q3 sorry buddy keep cheering against American Manufacturing though. Good luck with that.

They already build the Journey and I'm not sure what other vehicles in Mexico. Adding production in China is coming, whatever the reason. And Italy production, if the Fiat CEO is to be believed. So Romeny is partly right and partly wrong, about usual for a politician campaigning. And again, he based his original comments on a Bloomburg story that was later changed. Sue Romeny? He's the guy who's going to make an economy that grows, and with it vehicle demand. Chrysler's got some good years ahead of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Canada Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Let's all remember that Obama's pastor of choice for 20 years has been an extremist, racist one. This shows the kind of man Obama is. He's is a puppet who reads from a teleprompter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the Mormon Church when Romney was a member of it preached African Americans could not be allowed into the ranks of their church because they were decedents from Cain. I think actually Romney's church was racist and extremist for a long time but don't let the facts stop you Mr. Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
