About that supremely dishonest new MEC campaign ad . . .

The one about Bain capital and GST Steel.  A few facts:

1.) Romney left Bain capital in 1999.  The shutdown was in 2001.

2.) Here's who was still at Bain, though, and oversaw the outsourcing of the jobs: a major MEC campaign-fund bundler.

3.) The mill that was shut down was on the skids anyway, in no small part because it was busting its ass to try to comply with EPA standards.

4.) That mill was unionized.  GTS's other mill, in Ft. Wayne, IN, is non-union and still making steel today.

As with the silly business about the 1965 wrestling-the-unconventional-blond-kid-to-the-ground-and-cutting-his-hair story, the fact that the truth subsequently comes out is secondary to the damage done by Freedom-hater lying.

This is how it's going to be right up to early November.
