"A Bay State solar panel developer that landed a state loan from [URL="http://www.bostonherald.com/search/?topic=Mitt+Romney"][B]Mitt Romney[/B][/URL]when he was Massachusetts governor has gone belly up — a day after the GOP presidential hopeful ripped President Obama’s green-energy investments."

Re: Mitt Romney’s big green flop

two big differences:

  1. 1.5M =/= $500+ Million
  2. Unlike Obama-Solyndra, there's no accusation that Romney steered the money to donors.

oh, and let's not forget that Romney gave them the money [I]nine years ago[/I], and the company survived nearly a decade after getting the state subsidy.

on the other hand, solyndra lasted less than 2 years and obama kept sending them taxpayer money even after the auditors were saying "this ship is about to sink bro!"

So yeah, if we ignore those three big differences, I guess they're the same.

You'd have to be a serious fool to jump on this story because it'll seriously backfire so very very quickly. Perhaps that's why this story is being leaked? To further make the MSM look retarded (not that they need help, of course)

And that's why the only place I've even seen this story is here on this message board. No serious person on the left would dare bring up something this weak for fear of backfiring.
