But these assholes are really crossing the line.

He's going down! I don't know a soul that likes him. He's rude, mean to constituents. I hope they spend $10 million hear....it's wasted money.

If those corporations are going to become part of the Rmoney campaign, I want to take my business elsewhere.

so it seems a bad idea to me.

It is the only leverage we have against these companies though.

or for some other principle. If the employees jobs are at stake, it's better to let them decide if they want to take the risk, IMO.

It's cliched by now to point out that you didn't think they could sink any lower. They can always sink lower. It's like a law of physics at this point.

"The economy isn't going to recover until we get that socialist Obama out of the White House"

She went on to say that business owners were afraid, they all know Obamacare is going to break the economy, and no bank anywhere is going to start lending money again until after Romney is elected.

I can't report that I came back at her with some clever remarks, because I was so shocked I didn't know what to say to her. And what was really interesting was we weren't even talking about the election, we were talking about a mutual friend whose mother just died and she seems to be taking it pretty hard. I said I was concerned that she seemed very depressed and this lady said "Well, these are hard times for lots of people. And the economy isn't helping". Then she dropped the comment about the socialist Obama.

I think republicans are so desperate they are insane, especially in MO where the ones who are voting for Akin are too embarrassed to admit it out loud. realized later I should have brought up Akin in this conversation. Maybe I will next time I see her.

this" and look at his resume and see that what he knows how to do is is RUN UP THE DEBT ON BUSINESSES & FIRE PEOPLE and then they worry that Obama's going to make their jobs go away.

It's fucking CRAZY.

It's incredibly hard to get through to them. The pain web that's been orchestrated by hate radio and faux news makes these mostly older people just hang on to their small world they think is crashing around them caused my the evil god haters. Do the hate radio guys really have any idea what fear and pain they cause in the lives of American citizens who see them as righteous? Do they have any idea the false education they put in the minds of the gullible and fearful? If they don't, they are disconnected from the real world. If they do, they are pure sociopaths.

By any means necessary!

It would be the last thing I'd ever want want to see. My sincere hope is that we can overturn citizens united and get the democratic process back into the hands of the people. But make no mistake, these men mean to rule us. Left unchecked, some time in the future, I don't know when, they will enslave the common people. The for profit private prison industry is a good example of how they operate.

As of now, they are using their power to intimidate voters. Sheer thuggery at its worst. The question before us now is, how do we deal with them?

...Take that kind of stuff to another board...we don't need that here.

No body in their right mind will stand for that. It will backfire. I would vote every possible choice that opposes that bosses "mandate". It's is truly a fascist tactic.

If a boss demands photos of the voting, he won't have a business. He will be sued to hell and end up in jail.

regarding this. These idiots have no way of knowing how their employees actually vote, so I'm assuming if President Obama wins, especially locally, these guys will fire everyone and shut down their businesses? How completely insane. The treasonous behavior by many politicians, and now, employers, started with Clinton, and has reached a fever pitch with a mixed racial president. "Taking our country back" is a serious objective, and NOT in the way the crazy teabaggers mean it. There are many sane political and public figures who need to pay serious attention and deal with this. The Constitution and the founding fathers provided ways of addressing this, but we have a very forgiving definition of "treason" these days.

I think I'll take my chances on Obama and the arithmetic.

$10.6T it total U.S. debt added by Bush II. No thanks!

Really? Is he going to blanket fire every employee registered as a Democrat? Really?

This is all intimidation. Employees and voters should NOT bow to it.

That's all I can think of when I picture Joe Walsh.

(apologies to the leader of The James Gang).

been confirmed that someone wasn't listening.

If Obama was so bad for the economy and force these changes then these people would already have lost their jobs. Instead, over the last 31 months over 4 million new private sector jobs have been created. In other words, just the opposite has happened.

check; voter registration fraud - check; employee voting intimidation - check; getting rid of exit polling - in progress; electronic vote counting rigged - not yet!!!! It is coming, LOOK OUT! Google Stephen Spoonamore and spread the word. We need to let them know we are watching!

Isn't that what we've been doing for thirty years? So where are the jobs? In china at $.99, that's what Pubbies do.

The insurance costs have gone up at a slower rate since Obama care started, and when fully implemented will slow even more. I hope they are not intimidated and vote their will.

to express my "concern" over his asking employers to strong-arm their people to vote for the likes of him.

The little twit who answered the phone tried to sound bright and cheerful in his denial of knowing anything about the issue but assured me that they would "research it".

You are a lying maggot.

stupidty from that Walsh creepo. Of course it's the other way around as anyone with a brain know; vote republican and lose your job.

vote REPUBLICAN and lose your job...that is the translation.

unions (usually in the interest of labor), newspapers endorse a candidate. i've never heard a union threaten or force a union member to vote for the endorsement. a newspaper may endorse a candidate, so what are they going to do? tell their customers if you don't vote for our candidate we'll refuse to deliver the paper?

the unions at one time had over thirty per cent membership, and labor did well. unions today are under ten percent and the media still makes them into the big bad threat when they're barely hanging on. now, that's to help the plutocrats and it has worked big time.

with little boot's obscene tax cuts, especially to his wealthy friends, they have become even more greedy, less patriotic, less empathic. the some CEOs in this country, like walsh, make disgustingly large quantities of money even if the company is not faring well. CEOs in this country make way more than other industrialized countries, to me, it's actually embarrassing. but, these plutocrats have enjoyed their tax breaks even when they off shore jobs and acquired even more wealth at our expense. they don't want the greed fairy to take it away, even if their policies hurt the american people.

any voter who believes the bullshite intimidation is delusional because either under robme these cretins will still ship your job overseas or take away any labor right you have-or if the president is re-elected and they pass the job bills that the repugs have been blocking or pass the business incentive for hiring american workers with no incentive for those who ship jobs overseas, you'll still have more of a chance keeping your job under the president.
