Dorothy Turner has worked at Bain owned Sensata in Freeport, IL for 43 years.
Bain Captial continues to outsource jobs: citizens of Freeport, IL are calling on Mitt Romney (who is STILL trying to explain his “retroactive retirement” from the company) to help save the 170 jobs at Sensata that are slated to be outsourced to China. A few of the people, whose jobs are at risk, have taken to YouTube to share their stories and ask for help.

These Sick Bassturds at bain - Including RobMe Are Just Plain Un-American - They Support Foreign Countries - NOT AMERICA or Americans !!!!! HAH - Yeah The USA Needs RobMe As the POTUS ?????? It Is Truely Incredible That ANY American Supports This CUT-THROAT !!!!!
well good luck with robme helping out anyone beneath him. this includes the dummies that really believe he will.
When Ronmey was at Bain they never out sourced any jobs.
Out sourcing is when you close down a company in the USA then open the same type of company in some other country.
Now show me any proof that Bain has done that.
cow@!$%#, you dont have to close a company down to outsourse jobs...dumbasses
Remember these?

17 July 2012 Huffington Post:
Obama Jobs Council Packed With Outsourcing Companies
WASHINGTON -- During the past two weeks, President Barack Obama's campaign
has blasted Republican challenger Mitt Romney as an “outsourcer,” focusing on
his career with private equity firm Bain Capital. The Romney campaign hit back
on Tuesday, claiming Obama's stimulus package failed to protect American
workers and helped create jobs overseas.
If Romney really wanted a juicy example of outsourcing, he would have to
look no further than the president's jobs council.
Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, 26 business
leaders assembled by the president for job-spurring ideas, includes
representatives of several companies that have used outsourcing, fueling job
creation abroad and job losses in the U.S. Shipping work to low-cost overseas
labor markets has been a trend in American manufacturing for decades. The White
House has a plan to curb outsourcing, but companies represented on the
jobs council reveal just how pervasive the practice is.
There’s General Electric, whose CEO Jeffrey Immelt has served as chair of
the advisory board since January 2011. Since Immelt took over GE in 2001, the
company has lost 37,000 American jobs, and added 25,000 jobs overseas,
according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some of those
U.S. job losses are inflated by the company’s sale of NBC to Comcast in 2009.
Chris Townsend, political director of the United Electrical Workers labor
union that represents roughly 5,500 GE employees in the U.S., said the company
has closed more than 30 U.S. plants since Obama took office. GE would not
confirm the number.
GE "is a company that, despite the constant claims of growth, continues
to shrink in the United States,” Townsend said. “These are a mixture of things
from garden-variety, old-line manufacturing plants to electrical apparatus
service facilities, sometimes something to do with servicing. Several of them
were GE Capital.”
GE's outsourcing-related job losses have occurred over a long period,
Townsend said. Unlike some of the companies that Bain Capital invested in -- which quickly
fell into bankruptcy, faced layoffs or saw jobs shipped overseas as the private equity firm continued to profit -- the GE plant closures have happened
slowly, he said.
Vote Nobama 2012!!
Ha Ha hahaaaaaa = Yeah - Rite !!!!! Obama/Biden 2012 !!!

gotoleft- so true my freind....
Vote Nobama 2012!!
and all the teabaggers have done is filibuster every jobs bill passed by the senate...a record number in fact....damn your teabagger party is sooo dead.
B113 you have really shown your intellegents here, best you give up the boat before it sinks
get him, md,terry and gary. people who think robme is better for us than obama have no clue. they all think that fake news is a real trustworhty news channel and that rush is the greatest thing.
Over 8% unemployment for over 41 months, over 40 million on food stamps.
Over 12 million out of work.
Sense obama took office in Jan 2009, there are lfewer companies, fewer banks, fewer people working today than in Jan 2009.
Nothing fake about that!
nothing fake about the record number of job killing filibusters by the rabid right. keep digging that grave a 'lil deeper teabvaggers....lol
Ask him to save my job...remember Romney has nothing to do with the management of the company he was sole owner of
Yeah 'cuz his business experience is so great yet apparently someone else was ruinning his company the whole time
And another DEMWIT that knows nothing about business
Vote NObama 2012!!
yep no dems are business owners and only real business owners follow fox....keep thinking that..........the Koch's count on it..........
I feel so sorry for these people. If Romney is smart (but he isn't) he'll weigh in and visit Sensata to give these folks a pep talk and a check! There are fewer than 200 workers affected. Hell, he could easily pay their salaries for a year out of his pocket, or pay for training courses for them to start over. But he won't. He likes firing people and he likes seeing the working middle class go down.
Is NObama running a Sleaze Style Campaign??
Vote NObama 2012!!
I wonder why a bunch of GOP trolls are on the Ed Shulz site defending Romney and blaming Obama. As usual, the GOP "sheep" come on a liberal site quoting FOX verbatim. I see this b113 spewing a bunch of crap that happened under George Dubya Bush and assigning it to Obama. First of all b113, EVERY ONE of your numbers about the housing market either A started under Bush and the GOP, or B; Were a DIRECT result of Bush and the GOP policies of the prior 8 years. The housing crisis? No oversight or regulation. All of this because of the GOP deregulation of the financial markets. That "fact" about women doing so poorly under Obama, False, that ALL came about due to the crash of 08. The defecit? How about tax cuts during 8 years of war to help Cheney's buddies at Blackwater and Halliburton. This nation has NEVER cut taxes during war, EVER. Gas prices, first of all, if you REALLY want to play that game, when did gas FIRST hit 4 bucks a gallon? Under BUSH! That said, Bush, Obama, doesnt matter, NO president can have any affect on gas prices. Foodstamps...Doesnt it make SENSE that considering we faced the WORSE financial meltdown since 29 that of course MORE people would need the help? Fast and Furious? Seriously? You DO realize the program was started under your heores in the GOP RIGHT??? If the repubs REALLY had anything that could damage Obama and his administration, then why has the story FELL OFF THE FACE OF THE PLANET in the last 3 weeks? Why? There is NOTHING there that Obama's administration did wrong. Oh other than SHUT DOWN the operation. .......The ONE point I will give, is BOTH parties need to quit engaging in these crazy free trade agreements with Countries that have no work place or environmental regulations. They need to make is so unprofitable to outsource good American jobs, that NO company would even consider it. It would work too, because NO company wants to lose out on the BIGGEST consumer economy in the WORLD. Where is the b113's outrage over the GOP controlled House voting to repeal Obamacare THIRTY THREE times at a cost of over 50 million taxpayer dollars? They have NO chance of actually repealing it at this point, so why dont they get on with the business of getting the JOBS bill passed, and get the economy going stronger. Why? The GOP doesn't care about the economy or the middle class, the ONLY thing they are interested in is obstructing in any way they can so they can then blame the Dems. If Romney wins, we might as well just swear in the Koch bros and forget about, because they will be running the country
The Board of Directors of the corporations think it's great to send jobs overseas to cut costs, how about you send the CEO jobs there as well! Or how about cutting the obscene salaries these non-productive individuals receive? This is just disgusting! And people blame the president for the current economy? I blame corporate greed!!!
What has Romney have to do with Bain? He left it many years ago.
G.W.Bush was in from 2001 - 2008 ! (why don't you talke about G.W.Bush ?
G.W.Bush took American-Womens & Mens jobs away & sends the jobs to China & Oversea
also G.W.Bush lie to the people about the War !
Now look at Mitt Romney ?
he tell other people to talke for him (Mitt Romney) and the debt is from G.W.Bush !
Why don't you tell people about what G.W.Bush has done to America !
G.W.Bush been in for 8 years & President Obama been in only 3 1/2 years
Romney took me job away & sends it over sea so I know what going on
1) if Mitt Romney or a other Republicans get in the White House !
2) this what going to go on
3) Mitt Romney will be nice to the 98% for about 60-90 days
4) then Mitt Romney will go for the 1% & 2%
5) then all of you going to say why ?

Check out the corporate tax rate in the state of Illinois. Then the income tax rate.
Government Motos GM out sources 10's of 1000's of jobs...
Next Ronmey is no longer at Bain capital.
How about the over 8% unemployment rate for the past 41 months notice the ed show never talks about that or the over 40 million on food stamps.
Time to hold obama feet to the fire not Ronmey's.
This is too FUNNY!!! I have a better idea, ask the President's Job Czar CEO Jefffery Immelt to stop the X-Ray division in Waukesha Wisconsin from moving the China!! And while you are at, tell the President to stop giving GE stimulus and bailout to fund these moves to China and India. These people are as blind as a bat!!!! LOL LOL.
ONE MORE TIME.....MITT RONMNEY LEFT BAIN CAPITAL IN 1999. Wow, the media is out of control....we are truly being contolled by a bunch of brain washers.
President Obama and General Electric.....they are the new and improved NAFTA. Blatently, shipping jobs to China and India with the help of tax payer funded stimulus, loans and bailout. GE CEO Jeffery Immelt isn't event trying to hide it, yet the the President turns his head even when GE doesn't pay any taxes on 5 billions dollars of 2010 profit. All booked in foreign accounts. PLEASE EXPLAIN MR. PRESIDENT!!!
At this very moment, look what GENERAL ELECTRIC is doing to their plant in Salisbury North Carolina. Where is OBAMA on this one? Should we hit Mitt Romney up as well??? Let me guess, we need to ask Mitt Romney to save GE plants that are moving to China and India....right? I bet the media can pull that one off....blame Romney for the President Obama's Job Czar's decision to move General Electric plants to China and India. EUREKA!!!!!!!!
This thread is a Model of what Romney did while at Bain. He will profit off of this. And just one issue that I will address from b113's List. President Bush put troop's Into Iraq with no END of operation or withdrawal plan. not one. When I was in the USMC 82-90, When my superior's would state MISSION ACCOMPLISHED that meant our job had been finished, When Bush Paraded himself on the Carrier with the slogan MISSION ACCOMPLISHED why werent the troop's withdrawn? WHY were our Troop's put into places with no withdrawal plan? Who Pulled them out of IRAQ and has a plan to get them out of Afghanistan? Doesn't that offend anyone? Romney was against the pull out. I will say, I did support Afghanistan, not IRAQ, IRAQ itself was nothing more than a country that had to rattle it's Sabre's due to IRAN or Israel. So give some credit where it is due.
Well, I think it is about time for the all omnipotent one, President Barack "Kardashian" Obama to step in with is all knowing, all seeing power and save this company in Freeport Illinois. If you can grant amnesty and gut the work requirement provision of the Welfare Reforem Act of 1996 with an executive order.....he can easily save this factory.
These people are stupid, MITT ROMNEY DOES NOT WORK FOR BAIN CAPITAL. HE IS POWERLESS. Call the President and talk to his "Job Czar" GE CEO Jeffery Immelt.
I watched the news peice where a worker who has worked at Bain in Freeport, IL for 43 years is being laid off. Hey Ed Schultz, Since you seem to have a problem with this I'm sure that you would be willing to guarantee your employees a job 43 years...... I dout it, after all the progressive liberal motto is "Do as we say, not as we do".
The Workers know that Robme doesn't work at Bain, But Robme has used Bain as his success story, with that said WE are all aware of other stories that have the same theme that are tied to Bain. Big ED went off on the radio as to WHY HE should go there and CLAIRE #11 say's to offer a pep talk and support, HE could have gone there in June when he was in Janesville WI. with his cronies Walker and Ryan. He could have gone and shown a little Compassion and offered some support to the 170 Workers, But on one hand He talks about the Success of Bain, But He is unwilling to except the Harsh Reality of what Bain, and his past buisness dealings were all about, HE thrived off of this in years past and now the Country can see for themselves with this Unfortunate situation why Robme doesn't give a hoot about the 99% or these 170 Workers.
