Stephanie Cutter: Mitt Romney and China

The Romney campaign said that it won't "be dictated by fact-checkers"—in other words, they won't be driven by facts. But whether the truth matters in this election isn't up to the Romney campaign, it's up to you.

Romney's new ad lies about President Obama's jobs record and doesn't reveal the facts behind the Romney-Ryan plan to ship 800,000 jobs overseas—including 73,000 to China.

The Romney ad also says the President hasn't challenged China over unfair trade policies—a statement Mitt Romney knows isn't true. Mitt Romney actually attacked the President for being too tough on China when they were flooding the market with tires. You can check that out on page 119 of Romney's own book, "No Apology."

And Romney isn't apologizing for the investments he still holds in China. Or the American jobs he outsourced to China as the president, CEO, chairman, and sole shareholder of Bain Capital.

President Obama has stood up for American workers, by filing trade cases against China at twice the rate of his predecessor. President Obama has fought for manufacturing jobs since day one, and now he's set a goal of 1 million new manufacturing jobs by the end of his second term.

That's the truth. No wonder the Romney campaign doesn't want to be guided by the facts.

Get this ad out there on Facebook, I have given money to many of the requests, and am glad to do it, but we don't have Koch brother money so this is how we can get the same effect. Get this out there.

Mitt destroyed many companies while costing the average share holders and investors millions while the average hard working American loses their job because of a greedy corporate prick like Mitt Romney. KB Toys alone over 15000 hard working Americans lost their jobs. This is the type of war that we are fighting people, a war of lies and greed.

Truth and freedom have an enduring relationship. As one of my heroes put it, "The truth shall make you free." God bless the truth-tellers!

Um guys... look, when you America "exported" jobs [industrial] to the PRC back in the 80s~90s you also exported the pollution and corruption that associated with those jobs. The PRC is winning the current "economic wars" at the expense of their future (and environment).

This job export has in fact improved the lives of the American people and their environment, and now you guys want the old (polluting) days back?

and besides, politics shouldn't be held back by truth, logic, and facts.
