Please explain to me how Romney could claim he will create jobs if the undisputable records show that ...?

- The state he Governed (Mass) ranks 47th out of 50 in job creation

- The company he ran, Bain Capital, modus operandi was to buy companies, gut them and lay off employees to increase their bottomline.

- He publically advocated to let GM die, to go bankrupt, to cripple the auto industry, to allow thousands and thousands of jobs to go by the waste side.

Also, he wants to regurgitate the same failed Republican policies that caused the recession and over 750,000 job loss per month!

Besides talking out of his as s, what tangible evidence is out there that he can create jobs?

Update:

Bekindto.. - ok let's talk about the housing crash and the stock market. Bush's policies called for the lessening of regulations allowing bankers and mortgage companies to take enormous risks on your pension and mortgage - unsustainable risks to the point that the bubble eventually burst. As to the first 7 years of Bush, he started 2 wars during that time, costing taxpayers billions of dollars per day, while simulateneously and irresponsibly cutting taxes. Do you think that was good for the economy?!

    do Republicans know that Romney's term ended in Jan. 2007? well before the major impacts of the housing crash? Mitt was leaving as the dems were taking congress...

    his JOB CREATION WAS 47TH OUT OF 50 STATES... all the states were going through the same problems... other states with liberal leadership did MUCH BETTER... in the same period?

    in short, for the most part... mitt couldn't create jobs in a "great economy" (according to cons)... how can he create jobs in a bad one?

    IN THE SAME PERIOD UNDER MITT:

    The Massachusetts jobs growth over that period, a pitiful 0.9 percent, badly lagged other high-skill, high-wage, knowledge economy states like New York (2.7 percent), California (4.7 percent) and North Carolina (7.6 percent).

    if it's the fault of the liberals, how did liberal states like New York and Calif. still crush him?

    Of course you have neglected to mention the job loss was due to the crash of the housing industry and the stock market in 2008. You fail to mention the previous 7 years of the Bush presidency. You fail to mention that the laws that led to the crash were bipartisan and that the democrats refused to do anything when it was pointed out to them by Republicans that there was a huge problem. Romney worked with an 85% democratic legislature.
