Romney is a serial killer

You missed the next sentence Dan... He was referring to insurance companies that did not provide him the services he chose to have.

I really don't care who he likes to fire. You shouldn't get a grin on your face when talking about firing people if you're running for president after millions of Americans just got fired.

Most people want to be able to fire their insurance company if it is not providing the services that they want.

Yes, but most people don't get hard from the prospect of firing someone.

But of course the quote was taken completely out of context by you only to be corrected so that it was mostly out of context.

No, you just missed the point.

who would ever say they enjoy firing people?

sometimes, it has to be done out of necessity, but it is not something you're meant to enjoy.

I think it's unbelievably scary that people would attack someone because they made the statement that they like to be ABLE to fire someone. Who here doesn't like the ability to fire people?

Me. I do not find firing someone enjoyable at all. It really sucks actually.

If I hire a gardner to cut my crass and that rat bastard starts showing up every other week, instead of every week and does a half ass job, should some union be able to stand in and say, "no way, you owe this guy now, he can do whatever he wants and you can't fire him"?

lol. There is a difference between saying "you should never fire any one ever for any reason" and "you shouldn't say you enjoy firing people if you're trying to represent millions of people who just got fired".

What has happened to this country that there are so many poor saps out there that think it's bad that people CAN be fired?

The problem here seems to be you're either illiterate or delusional. Please show me where anyone claimed that no one should ever have the potential to be fired. I just don't think firing people shouldn't be something my president enjoys. Understand the difference?

The point they are missing is it gives insight on to how Mitt Romney views the American people. We are "the help" as far as he is concerned, there to serve the interests of his corporate friends.

Apparently you can't read even the words are put into bold. He said he likes being ABLE to fire people. He never said he enjoys firing people. He was talking about the ABILITY to relieve someone of their duty if they aren't doing it adequately. Why are you so thick that you can't even see how simple of a concept this is? NEVER did he say he enjoys firing people, he said he enjoys being ABLE, ABLE, ABLE. Have I said it enough times that you'll ACTUALLY read it yet?

I enjoy being ABLE to fire anyone that I is working for me as well.. I think there's definitely someone illiterate or delusional here, but it isn't me. I am able to read and comprehend, but clearly you are either overlooking the word ABLE or ignoring out of spite.

The statement "I enjoy being able to fire people" is equal to saying in a less abbreviated manner, "I prefer that we not live within a system where you cannot fire someone/anyone for any reason".

This is the exact quote.

“I like being able to fire people who provide services to me,” Romney told a breakfast forum of the Nashua Chamber of Commerce. “You know, if someone doesn't give me the good service I need, I want to say, ‘You know, I'm going to get someone else to provide this service to me.’”

I personally find this statement hard to disagree with and I don't like Romney. I just don't see how people could disagree with it. It's moronic.

Et Tu Buck'o?

Saying you like the ability to fire someone is not the same thing as saying you actually like firing someone.

You swear that makes it ok, but it really doesn't. Someone who was even pretending to give a shit about the millions of Americans who just got fired would never say that.

It's pretty obvious that Romney sees his wealthy elite friends as the real Americans and everyone else is just there to be the help.

i'm sure that's what every american heard, is a fine distinction between firing people and the ability to fire people

no way that this will come back to haunt him.



and handing cash to your supporters? that just OOZES class.

You do understand Dan, that to actually cut a significant amount of spending... People are going to have to lose their jobs. Thousands and thousands of government workers.

If you think we can address all these problems while continuing to add hundreds of thousands of public sector jobs like Obama has you are a victim of new math...

He isnt my favorite candidate. I just think he should be given an honest shot.

his fault. no one made him say something that sounds so callous.

want to bet $10,000 that we could hang him by his toenails without ever mentioning the "i enjoy firing people" remark?

Unfortunately, in this age of 24/7 media, even a completely polished politician screws up at least once in a while. And there is no such thing as a local speech anymore.

People are going to love him and/or hate him. My top priority is the economy and I think he could do significantly better than Obama.

I don't see cutting spending during a recession as a good thing. I don't equate employing Americans as being "victimized". Sorry, I just don't buy into that unproven economic theory that's so far out to the right Reagan wouldn't even consider it.

You can pretend I just don't understand the situation all you want, but I do understand no president has attempted to cut spending during a recession before and as far as I'm aware no country has cut spending during a recession and had that lead to economic recovery.

Ok, well honestly Romney's mentality shows that he thinks the wealthy elites are more important than the American people.

You do realize that no country has ever ever been over 15 trillion dollars in debt right?

The president is asking for a mere 1.2 trillion dollar debt ceiling increase to almost 16.5 trillion.

You do understand that eventually the paper the government is printing will be worthless right?

How much debt can we handle before you recommend turning off the spigot?

wow. You sure are righteous about that considering you took an out of context sarcastic remark of mine and put it in your sig you sleazy fucking hypocrite.

Yeah, I forgot about what you put in your sig when I responded to you earlier. Had I remembered I would have just replied with this...

I am making a point dan.... One you probably wont get.

And BTW, how is it out of context? I quoted you exactly..... In fact, it was a copy/paste. No editing there...
