Rmoney tells NFIB to have employees vote for him--or else!

[meow2u3]

Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican Party nominee, spoke to the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) yesterday in a Tele-Townhall meeting, telling them to “make it very clear” to their employees who they should vote for in the November General
Election. The NFIB has over 100,000 members nationwide.

"I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections," Romney said. "And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope you pass those along to your employees."

Romney laughed, saying “nothing illegal” about informing your employees, even if it may be inferred as a threat to losing their jobs.

"Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I believe that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision."

Who the hell does this psychopath thinks he is? He can't persuade people to vote for him, so he resorts to terrorist tactics like intimidating voters with taking the food out of their mouths?

2. Koch owned companies have done the same thing. Mind control by threats to their livelihood.

3. Was he wearing his state troopers outfit when he threatened them?

As a business owner, I will go out of my way to tell my employees to re-elect President Obama, at least once a week from now until election day.

Mitt is a nasty little weasel.

6. what does it matter? the msm ignores this stuff and gives him a pass daily

it's all about getting Obama now. Heck, are they even asking him if it's true he used to dress like a cop and pull people over?

7. I know we have a number of members with a background in labour here.

I'm not well versed in that area. Is this legal or not legal for an employer to do this? If not, is it a state or federal law this crosses?

8. Walmart Corporate does that too

back in 2000 the hubs worked for Corporate and they actually had a memo telling them reasons why they "should" vote for dumbya

9. If this is not a violation of federal law . . .

There has to be a way to make it so.

How does this creep keep getting away with crap like this??
