Vote for Romney or else you may lose your job

Some employers, including the Koch brothers, have taken to telling their employees to vote for Romney. Using veiled threats, they abuse their authority as bosses to interfere in the electoral choices of their employees. And in a private meeting with rich supporters, Mitt Romney encouraged employers to go ahead and tell employees how to vote.

Romney closed out a June conference call with members of the National Federation of Independent Business—the conservative-leaning small-business lobby—with these words: “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.”

There are the Koch brothers, who sent a voter information packet to thousands of employees at their Georgia Pacific subsidiary, recommending they vote for Romney with this warning: “If we elect candidates who want to spend hundreds of billions in borrowed money on costly new subsidies for a few favored cronies, put unprecedented regulatory burdens on businesses, prevent or delay important new construction projects, and excessively hinder free trade, then many of our more than 50,000 U.S. employees and contractors may suffer the consequences, including higher gasoline prices, runaway inflation, and other ills.” And there is David Siegel, CEO of the time-share company Westgate Resorts, who fired off a doozy of an e-mail to his 7,000 employees (more than half of them in the swing states of Florida and Nevada) telling them in no uncertain terms that an Obama reelection would put their jobs at risk. It concludes: “You see, I can no longer support a system that penalizes the productive and gives to the unproductive. My motivation to work and to provide jobs will be destroyed, and with it, so will your opportunities. If that happens, you can find me in the Caribbean sitting on the beach, under a palm tree, retired, and with no employees to worry about. Signed, your boss.”

the GOP is fast becoming the party of crotch-obsessed, racist, homophobic, religious yahoos who believe that one day romney's cayman island retirement accounts will trickle down and buy them a cheap pair of sneakers.

they have been driven out of the west coast, the northeast, and increasingly the midwest and all portions of the US which enjoy relative economic prosperity and has more thinking people.

they are increasingly being herded into a geographical corner where they'll all rape and eat each other. the reason some of them don't support abortion even in cases of incest is because they realize that's the only way they can increase their party enrollment.
