New Leaked Audio; Romney: Tell your employees how to vote

reply to post by WhatAreThey


Umm...the whole thing is about cutting PBS, not just Sesame Street.

I bet you love spending more money on war and bombs over funding educational programming. PBS is a tiny speck of the US budget.

I think employers should inform their employees the conseqences of voting obama in for another term. Let them be prepared for four more years of lies and increasing socialism. We have had our token half black man for president and anyone with good sense can see the results. pbs should be cut off, there are a lot of entitlement programs cut. food stamps, welfare section eight housing and disability need to be reformed and get some of these low lifes that dont want to work for a living off the taxpayers payroll. get em off the front porch drinking beer and slinging drugs while waiting on the mail man to bring their check.

Exactly how do you consider something "secret" that was openly stated in a public townhall discussion???

There's nothing wrong with what he said.

You apparently don't think it's wrong for the Obama campaign to tell welfare recipients how they should vote for the sake of their checks, now do you? Who is a welfare recipient's payer??? That would be government...led by Obama.

Hypocritical much?

I had not seen the video about the chinese factory... Wouah! This is crazy to say such things when you want to be the president of the USA!
The story of the fence was just bull# (it is obvious it was to forbid the employees to leave) for western visitors and he took it for granted?! What a nut!
In France, we have the same ones, they think it is great that children work in some countries... But be certain they would never let their own children work in factories...

When exactly did that happen?
I do not recall Obama doing any such thing. I am really only interested in facts here and the Romney supporters seem to have trouble coming up with facts. So, I am asking you.

You would not just make that up would you?

The people of the USA love to live in fear... They make their own place a hell...

You pay more taxes to repair the banks' stupid things. Stupid things which are the governments stupid things as the banks actually broke no laws because finance was totally deregulated by the Bush governments (dad and son).
I will add the democrats also deregulated, let's be fair...

No, I would not. Have you not been listening to Obama and Biden's stumps speeches? When you tell people that the other side is going to do things that will leave them destitute that's what you are doing. You are employing fear amongst the millions who you are "keeping" to sway their vote.

IT'S THE SAME DAMNED THING. A business man, a company, has every right to disclose to their employees what political policies could effect their jobs. It would be, in fact, be grossly negligent if you KNEW potential new policies could result in downsizing your work force, to NOT tell your work force of that impending danger to their jobs.

Wow! Common sense.

In a crazy world, maybe we need to act crazy to beat them at their own game

Bad idea, this how you end up with Hitler... I think it is better to wait for a revolution, with no insurance of the result, as in Iran in 1979.

Your point of view is just completely not democratic... It is a pity you don't even know it.

And answer me honestly, IF YOU CAN...if your employer KNEW that if certain legislation passed it would result in him having to decrease his employee headcount by 10% to stay in business, wouldn't you want your employer to let you know that?

You might decide that potentially losing your job is okay compared to whatever perceived social benefit you're voting for is successful, right? If you're all up in the altruistic sacrifice yourself for the betterment of humanity bullcrap...then I'd expect you to just go ahead and vote your job away for the greater good.

OR, you might decide that's a bad idea. It would still be up to you, but you'd know what was coming down the pike once you voted.

Luckily, I don't live in a democracy. Sadly, you don't realize that.

Let me just state for the record that your false assumption that being honest is difficult for me, you have already tossed all your credibility out the window. You know nothing about me and presume I am a natural born liar. Yeah, I am sure this will be constructive.

if your employer KNEW that if certain legislation passed it would result in him having to decrease his employee headcount by 10% to stay in business, wouldn't you want your employer to let you know that?

Well...maybe. Fortunately that is not a possibility for me. I am self employed and the people that pay my salary are middle to lower class. No rich person ever gave me a job.

But I am having a hard time understanding your presumption as well as your claim that honesty is important in an answer to a nonsense question. Maybe you need to expand on that for me.

You might decide that potentially losing your job is okay compared to whatever perceived social benefit you're voting for is successful, right?

Depends on what those social benefits are. Are you just randomly making up things and asking me to give you honest answers to crap you make up?

If you're all up in the altruistic sacrifice yourself for the betterment of humanity bullcrap...then I'd expect you to just go ahead and vote your job away for the greater good.

Ahh, so it is bad to be altruistic? I thought you guys were all about charity instead of welfare and yet here...you go completely backwards.
Am I sounding honest yet?

OR, you might decide that's a bad idea. It would still be up to you, but you'd know what was coming down the pike once you voted.

If only you had a point and actually said something, I could respond. Unfortunately it just looks like you hit "reply" and then threw up via the keyboard.

What did you want me to answer, honestly anyway? Your opinions and false assertions? Not at all sure how to do that.

When did Obama threaten my job? I do not recall that ever happening.

It would be, in fact, be grossly negligent if you KNEW potential new policies could result in downsizing your work force, to NOT tell your work force of that impending danger to their jobs.

And if that were anywhere close to what was happening here, you may have a point. Unfortunately you are imagining things. I cannot respond "HONESTLY" to your nonsense opinions.

[Wow! Common sense.

Did you stumble across some? Will it be in your next post?

reply to post by Hiigh


It's too bad that fake legislative altruism has nothing to do with charity. And it's too bad you don't know that.

And apparently you couldn't answer honestly because you didn't even attempt to consider the question. You just manipulated your way out of having to. Kind of like Obama does. I think you're paired up well.

The TOPIC here is way off base. Romney DID NOT say "tell your employee's how to vote".
What he said to her was to talk to your employees and let them know what is at stake.
Whether they vote for Romney or Obama, he encouraged them to VOTE !

Thanks, keep up the good work!

Your absolutely correct Labrynth .. way off topic and misconstrued statements slanting to sway those of the weak minded.

Like any employer/union is gonna expect to threaten the employee to vote one way .. then ask ( under punishment of firing ) Who they voted for LOL."Um .. I voted just like you told me to Boss " *wink wink*.

Just like when Obama said that "Optimal" thing .. Nothing wrong with that one either.

Both sided do the same thing to each other on such small issues.

Sure am glad Im an independent thinker.

Companies in Texas have been doing that for years, nothing new. Halliburton especially, before the Bush/Cheney election.

I'm not for Mitt or Obama; but, to be fair - Mitt DID say it FAIRLY -

And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view,

That is so disgusting and so unAmerican, and so eerily fundamentalist conservative that it creeps me right out.

Pillars of Americanism have always been known to have quite conflicting views, like staunch anti communist and ardent capitalist Walt Disney, whom feels his company is like a big family and that his employees shouldnt toil away for increasing wages, but for warm and fuzzy feelings, because wanting money is communist somehow.
