Should be against theblaw

in a lawsuit against these fascist pricks.

But that will have to wait until after we reverse Citizens United,
since -- as I understand it -- this crap was "legalized" in that
ruling, as well as all the unlimited money crap.

They did that shit in Venezuela... "pase de lista obligatoria."

Glad to hear you're against it and consider it fascist!

Nothing I would give credence to.

Please excuse my french(BUT FUCK THESE PEOPLE)

They will carry out their threats even if it ruins their companies, after which Obama will be blamed.

Fuck 'em.

Boycott boycott boycott!

And true, since we do not know their customers (other businesses) it would be hard to boycott them.

Make if I make a doll and stick pins in it.........

If these people are democrats or repigs,this shit needs to be investigated and prosecuted immediatly,if Holder doesn't do it then we need a new DOJ.I NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO TELL ANOTHER HOW TO VOTE>

This is as unAmerican and anti-democracy as it gets. I am outraged at this.

these are the same a$$holes who scream "class warfare!!!"

I tell ya, I don't think they have as much of a FEAR-grip on their employees as they think they do...how many employees are going to say "ya....whatever" because they KNOW Obama can do more for us ALL than their employer or Rmoney ever would...

Hey Mr. Asshole...how's about the 99% of America NOT buy your product?

'Cause we want to say to YOU personally...You're FIRED!

Your frustration(I am as pissed off as it gets) but a boycott only hurts the employees,there has to be another way(legally i hope).

You must not remember Ceasar Chavez.

If his company was as big as Walmart then yes, they could sway the votes to rMoney but it is still wrong.

Own their votes? These bosses likely are not popular with their employees and would be losing them in a good economy.

My theory is these are people who are losing money in their businesses, and want to find a way to blame something other than their incompetence when the business shuts down, and the timing is right.

they get new and better job working for the Obama administrations created jobs?

decades ago.

Not only because of this threat, but these employees have no control over who wins the election. they can only cast one vote, and that isn't going to swing the tally and save their jobs. This business owner is stupid enough there probably isn't much of a future with the company anyway.

What next? Will he threaten to clean house if the Rays have a bad season? What if it rains on his vacation, is that a reason to lay off his employees?

Find a new job with a mentally stable employer.

I was so upset with this strongarm tactic to elect his choice of candidateI had to tell him what I thought:

After reading the internal memo you posted to your employees in which you used their jobs as (not so) subtle coercion to elect the presidential candidate of your choice, I felt compelled to write and express my sincere wish that your company go straight down the toilet ASAP. You don't deserve to thrive and profit in a true democracy.

You are the very reason people organize unions. I only hope the best workers at your business leave your employ as soon as the first opportunity presents itself.

from the best employees, especially

Did any of these GOP idiots live through the Bush years like the rest of us?

Bushco wars

How fucked-up is that?

employees.

Wondering here if this company is publicly traded; his statements suggest he has business trouble. That's not something I'd say if it were my company and it is publicly traded.

their cornerstone. They don't say with whom. I must assume they mean the Koch brothers and friends, cause they sure don't mean their employees if they support Rob-me.

That is the most nonsensical threat I have ever heard. The only way it makes sense is if the business owners are simply incompetent.

The business operates a bunch of warehouses that stock and ship goods for other businesses.
Think Amazon ( which has its own warehouses).
They hire only hourly part time employees, do not pay any benefits, including workman's comp, and can replace people from a growing pool of desperate unemployed people.
So the threat of losing your job may carry some weight to low information workers.

What I am really curious about is if there is any way the employer can tell how his employees voted.
If so, THAT would be a marvelous class action lawsuit.

Your top employees are problem solvers who take initiative ... and he just presented them with a problem to solve.

They've already figured out that no matter how they vote, if Obama wins, they could lose their job. So those initiative takers will take the initiative, and start looking.

but now that you've stuck your head out beware. Need a loan??

with no staff. You'd think a logistics guy would be thinking ahead.

More accurate would have been a series of pictures of Etch-A-Sketches.
