Wouldn't vote for Ron Paul if you paid me.

Romney's a lying SOB too, woodchip. And it was Bush who started this whole Solyndra mess. Romney needs to check his facts on who did what and when.

So Bushie didn't start the ball rolling with Solyndra. But the loan was applied for during his administration. The only reason Bush didn't act on the loan or have solar energy as a priority during his administration was because it was solar energy, not energy from oil.

HOWEVER, the bald-faced Romney lie I was referring to was this one from my earlier link:

http://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-romney ... nance.html

ROMNEY: "An independent inspector general looked at this investment (Solyndra) and concluded that the administration had steered money to friends and family — to campaign contributors."

THE FACTS: There is no proof — and it appears unlikely — that Energy Department Inspector General Gregory Friedman was talking about Solyndra when he testified in March 2011 about stimulus contracts. Friedman said his office was investigating whether such contracts were steered to friends and family, presumably of government officials in charge of spending stimulus money. Romney cited a Newsweek article that referred to Friedman's testimony.

But Friedman did not say that such claims had been proved, and there is no evidence he was including Solyndra in his comments. The testimony came nearly six months before the company declared bankruptcy. And there is no evidence that family members of top federal officials received any favors. Friedman's office is among several federal agencies that are investigating Solyndra.
