In his endorsement message, Iacocca complained that ?America is in deep trouble,? facing high debts and still suffering ?anemic? economic growth. He said ?hope and speeches won?t get our people back to work.?

Yeah, but who does Honey Boo Boo endorse?

Robbie · 10-19-2012, 03:23 PM

Just saw on CNN that the Orlando Sentinel (who endorsed Obama in 2008) just endorsed Romney.

The anchors on CNN looked like they were about to cry as they reported it. They were "surprised" at the endorsement.

I tuned over to MSNBC to see what they would say about it. But they didn't even report it. I watched Martin Bashir having an orgasm over Pres. Obama's quips today on the campaign trail over Romeny having a case or "Romnesia"
Swear to God I watched him for 20 minutes and that's all he talked about! He even went to an NBC correspondent standing outside of the White House (even though Obama was out on the campaign trail) and the two of them chortled and chuckled and exclaimed that The President is "on fire" today on the campaign trail!

Amazing to watch the media at work.

What is interesting about the Orlando Sentinel endorsement, is that it is a Tribune owned paper, a conservative entity. Obama marked the first time in 160+ years that the Tribune endorsed a Democrat. The Sentinel has a record of endorsing a Democrat only 3 times (LBJ, Kerry, and Obama). They endorsed George H.W. Bush and then Bob Dole instead of Clinton, and he was President during the economic good times.

I have to question, have any of you ever changed your vote based on the endorsement of a newspaper or a celebrity? I was trying to think if I ever have, and couldn't think of a time.

And today the conservative Denver Post (who endorsed Bush twice) just endorsed Obama.

Because of the Chrysler bankruptcy, Iacocca may lose part of his pension from a supplemental executive retirement plan, and a guaranteed company car during his lifetime. The losses were due to take place once the bankruptcy court approves the sale of Chrysler to Chrysler Group LLC, with ownership of the new company by the United Auto Workers, Fiat and the governments of the United States and Canada.[13]

From the 70's the only pieces of shit worse than ol Lee were Nixon and Kaiser.

Iacocca actually called Nixon to complain about how seat belts would bankrupt Chrysler. Total piece of shit.

TheSquealer · 10-20-2012, 06:46 AM

Not too sure that an insane, narcissistic megalomaniac's endorsement is a good thing. He made himself famous because he turned Chrysler around... no one seems to remember that he then destroyed Chrysler.

Former SEAL Team 6 Commander Supports Romney

Quote:

As someone who served in the US Navy for over 23 years, I understand the importance of trusted leadership. ?

I believe the same principle applies as we elect our Commander-in-Chief. He must earn our trust. Governor Romney has a proven record of leadership. He has led his business, his church, the Olympics and the State of Massachusetts. In each case he created a better, stronger situation. That is his record. ?

If Americans cannot trust their government, the republic will fail. Governor Romney has proven he can be trusted. The last four years have proven the President cannot. It?s time to elect a Commander-in-Chief with the leadership we can trust.

How did he do that?

Another man that relied on the government to help him out but is supposedly against that type of thing since he is endorsing Romney.

Hypocrite much?

No...he's a hypocrite. I'm starting to think we all are guilty of hypocrisy many times in our lives.

Yes, because he would certainly refuse government loan guarantees today. Don't kid yourself.

Just because a newspaper is located in Utah doesn't mean it's owned by the Mormons.

I never said that it was owned by the Mormons. I never even thought that it was owned by the Mormons.

However, it is operated in joint with Deseret News, which is owned by the Mormons.

I never said you said it was owned by the Mormons. The implication was that it was. And because it was owned by the Mormons they should endorse Romney. MediaNews group doesn't even mention the Desert News on their site. It only appears on the Desert News website as being a joint operating agreement between the two newspapers. Which is a moot point.
I don't see what that has to do with who they endorse. Endorsements are usually that of the owners of the newspaper and not those who they have some joint agreement with.

I'm a money making machine at my small level. Let me get in charge of something big and I'll re-define "money-grubbing" and make you want to throw up from my level of decadence and greed.

Wow big deal. Iacocca used to be a big shot but now he's just another ill informed Fox News contributor. He's got less brains than the Truther himself, Donald Trump.

Iococca is qualifies for "classic" plates here in Texas and is far removed from the production lines.

I think the auto workers are going to go pretty heavy for Obama.

I'm sure that they will since Obama gave General Motors to the UAW at taxpayer expense! Talk about buying votes!

I don't think so.

I just looked up his voting record. He seems to be a lot like me in that respect. He votes for the man he feels is best for the job instead of party politics. He voted for both Republicans and Democrats and endorsed them both:

"Politically, Iacocca supported the successful Republican candidate George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election. In the 2004 presidential election, however, he endorsed Bush's opponent, Democrat John Kerry. In Michigan's 2006 gubernatorial race, Iacocca appeared in televised political ads endorsing Republican candidate Dick DeVos, who lost. Iacocca endorsed New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson for President in the 2008 Presidential Election."
