When Clinton ran, a bunch of companies told their employees to vote for him based on his Wall Street lobbying.

I know - I worked for one of them. CAP Gemini. Not only did they send the memo, the managers were going around and talking to employees about it. The message was very clear - we will do well if this guy gets in, you will keep your jobs and get bigger raises.

FMC used to tell its employees who they wanted. I recall sitting in the office in the 80s when the memo came around that time. I still remember the expression on the face of the man I was working with (I didn't work for the company - I was just doing some work at the company). It's not just on the Republican side. Both parties lobby the big firms and the Street. In general, the Democratic party does at least as well at this as the GOP.

I think it's unethical, and ultimately counter-productive. Judging from the way I felt about it, this utterly crass idiot just created some new Obama voters. Even when I wanted to vote for the company's "preferred" candidate, getting that advice always used to make me reconsider my vote.

It isn't illegal, because after all they cannot know how you voted. So they cannot extort your vote, or take reprisals against you for your vote.

If you received this letter from this jerk, what would you do when you got into the privacy of the voting booth?

His letter will be a net gain in votes for Obama, and might be the factor that convinces some of them to turn out to vote, just to put the screws to this guy. It is hard to believe there would be much loyalty in his work force.

Doesn't reading this make you want to go out and vote twice for Obama? Seriously, this is so obnoxious that it's almost funny. What type of arrogant idiot would be dumb enough to send this to their employees?

if he is re-elected. Truth is, he's probably already trying to file bankruptcy because of the loss of timeshare business because of their scams and bait and switch tactics.

How will he ever get by on only 10 billion?

They love this country so much they are willing to hurt the citizens in order to save the nation. People need to wake up to the what and who is really hurting this country. It's the corrupt, scamming billionaires like the thug. If anyone has ever dealt with a
timeshare you know how corrupt, deceiving, and heartless they are. I am sure that there are many,many hard working voting families out there who need to know that this sumbag supports Romney. I am sure many voters have been hurt by this industry which preys heavily on middle low income families promising vacations they think they can't afford otherwise. Two members of my family have suffered loss as a result of hooking up with this company. And they take great pride in wreaking your credit rating. I wish there was some way to put his threat in an add and link it to the entire GOP, not just Romney.

She reminds me of a young Ma Kettle. Their cluttered, opulent home reminds me of the Clampetts after they moved to California.

In better times, it would be funny if all his employees walked out and left him high and dry.

What a bizarre expression.

will soon all be controlled by jerks like this. Not that that will ever happen.

your chains."

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

Never say 'never'. With regard to this shitstain, I would settle for a wildcat strike of only his company's employees walking out or, better yet, engaging in a sit-down occupation of his offices.

either

This prick's afraid that he won't make enough money to finish that 90,000 square feet monstrosity that he was determined to build for himself and his trashy family. I saw the movie about him and his wife and I just came out thinking that they are the epitome of what is wrong with this country. That ugly chair he's sitting in tells you everything you need to know about this guy.

What he's got is a wreck. Tacky. Most people would be embarrassed to have that junk in their homes.

you're a slave.

You need to fire your employer.

So much for free enterprise. I have supported the idea all my life and now in my old age seeing what is going on in this country, I wonder if I have been wrong. Private businesses make so many messes, such chaos and impoverish people. I'm sorry, but this is just wrong.

What a mess.

We need desperately to raise inheritance taxes on large estates. We need to raise taxes on the rich as soon as possible and as much as possible.

No individual in our society should have or think he has as much power as this man thinks he has. You can't call a political system a democracy or even a republic when one person can threaten people or dares to threaten people in that way.

as trophy wives go, his came in third.

Just kidding.

Oh, I'm so . . . . would you look at those! They can't be real!

I am backing out of this conversation before I get myself into trouble.

threats like his must really piss people off. And scare them, if their real feelings come out.

She's had quite a bit of work: lip injections, cheek implants, a chin implant, her eyes have been done, there's a couple of facelifts in there...and none of it really helped because she's not that great looking.

She looks like she has spent a lot of time on Joan Rivers Avenue.

And after a while, nothing will help her, not her enormous wealth or her plastic surgeons. Hope the kids have a better grip on reality, and care about more meaningful things, rather than the size of their clothes closet.

is not a good looking adornment

This has to be illegal somehow.

1.2 Intimidation

Intimidation

Voter intimidation involves putting undue pressure on a voter or group of voters so that they will vote a particular way, or not at all. Absentee and other remote voting can be more open to some forms of intimidation as the voter does not have the protection and privacy of the polling location. Intimidation can take a range of forms.

Economic threats: In company towns in which one company employs most of the working population, the company may threaten workers with disciplinary action if they do not vote the way their employer dictates. One method of doing this is the 'shoe polish method'. This method entails coating the voting machine's lever or button of the opposing candidate(s) with shoe polish. This method works when an employee of a company that orders him to vote a certain way votes contrary to those orders. After the voter exits the voting booth, a conspirator to the fraud (a precinct captain or other local person in collusion with the employee's management) handshakes the voter. The conspirator, then, subtly checks the voter's hands for any shoe polish or notes. If the conspirator finds shoe polish or notes in the voter's hands, then that unfortunate voter gets fired or faces other unpleasant consequences.

Along with Koch Brothers, Adelson, Romney and many other crooks.

Hey Adler - Chimp was illegitimate, and you are going to pay.

Big time.

Workplace Sabotage would definitely be on my agenda if I worked for this prick. Threaten my job and the destruction of his business would be my only goal if I was one of his workers.

Timeshare salesman lies - Film at eleven.

So the solution to netting a few percentage points less AFTER taxes is to decrease PRE-TAX profits?

Fuck you, you liar.

we are in the guilded age part 2. what we need is another titanic . remember the titanic .took out allmost all of the rich and poor on her. these selfish so and sos . throwing a temper tantrum because he wont get a tax reduction , whilst we support him we the middle class get hurt .and no one gives a rats ass about the poor. on april 15th 1912 @ 1:15 am ,our age woke up with a bang. 1st officer boxhall. titanic.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA what charlatan...

He's also a Romney voter.

wealthy need to be soaked with taxes. No one should have so much wealth that they get to control our democracy. Same thing with estate taxes.

Fuck him and Mrs. Boobs.

That ass acts like he's actually trying to be a caricature of an arch typical rich prick sore winner.

hmmmm. DOJ?

They would have sent the IRS to audit him and his businesses.

I'll just leave it at that.

he represents everything that is wrong in a society that cow tows to the 1% - Mitt Romney's world.

Oh God please save us from these plutocrats!!! All that is missing in the byline is a reference to

royalty as this asshole reclines in a golden throne surrounded by his very own (purchased) princess

so that the loss of business will cause him to... fire his employees.

If this guy fires his employees, his competitors will hire them to pick up the work that this guy loses, as long as his business sector remains solid. And maybe then, they won't be working for this asshole.

The annual cost if about twice what you would pay if you just booked a nice hotel in the same area. And then you are stuck with this obligation forever. One of the world's great scams.

Boycott ALL timeshares, not just this guy. It is safe to assume all the operators are just as sleazy as this one.

but it will buy bad taste, boobs and lipo...

well, when Obama does win and he does lay off those employees and they file for unemployment, he has cut the legs out from under his reasons for doing so by going public with it. It's called "premeditation". It's going to be hard for him to contest their claims when he's on the record saying that he's going to lay people off if the president is re-elected. So he's going to end up paying anyway.

Stupid fuck.

Or shareholders?

Or do they have almost identical foreheads???

- Aside from being hateful morons, naturally.......

K&R

Well, screw him. I hope every one of his employees votes for Obama.

It amazes me that people like this jerk have not figured out that trickle down is their enemy too. The only way for everyone to have a booming economy is when the middle class is healthy and has extra to spend. Then rather than trickle down it would trickle up down and sideways. Just my two cents and simplistic I kno
