High Fives at DNC Headquarters

High Fives at DNC Headquarters
DNC officials can't believe they have Mitt Romney on video saying he likes firing people.

Here's the video:

And the problem is?

3. Yep...This should go over about as well as "Corporations are people, my friend".

Dickhead Republicans...They'll shoot themselves in the foot every time.

Really?  So if someone isn't doing their job you shouldn't be able to fire them?

Are you asking us, or the moonbats on DU?  The answers would be quite different.

"I like being able to fire people who provide services to me," Romney said while answering a question from an audience member about health care.
As he described his approach to overhauling the health care system, the GOP candidate added: "If someone doesn't give me a good service that I need, I want to say I'm going to go get someone else to provide that service to me."
I don't like Romney, but this is bogus.  We all fire people we don't like.  We switch doctors, dentists, hospitals, insurance companies.  We don't return to places with lousy service, lousy food or goods, etc. This is the best part of a free market, the ability to support good companies and not bad.

Mitt likes firing people?  Quick, let's put him in charge of our bloated federal government.

Mitt likes firing people and Obama likes throwing people under the bus.

Well that is kinda what I was saying with out "saying" it.  I am not a Romney fan either but, this is as bogus as it gets.

Doesn't Donald Trump have a show on NBC revolved around firing a bunch of people?

People get fired.  Life goes on.

Was it a bad choice of words?  Maybe.  Was it worth going apeshit over?  Nope.

Yes a bad choice of words for sure.

He should have said "I like to be able to fire people" instead of "I like to fire people."

Or, even better, "I like having the option of taking my money elsewhere."

Heard a clip of it this morning, and that's actually what he did say...it would have been a better choice of words to say 'I like having the freedom to change' or something of the sort, instead of using the Biz World veerbal shorthand like that ("Firing" really applies to your employees, not your goods and services contractors).

Yes, "I'd like the freedom to take my money elsewhere" is much better.  I heard Debbie Blabbermouth talk about the out-of-context ad this morning.  Not a good way to start the day. 

DUmmies, you know you do this in practice.  "BOYCOTT THIS THAT AND THE OTHER THING!!!!"  "I'm never going to Whole Foods again!!!"  "I'm never setting foot in a Target again!!!"  "**** Walmart!!!!!"  You "fire" businesses all day long.  NOT ONE DAMN DIME!!!!!

Rush mentioned this yesterday, in hour three, that this would be taken out of context and become a talking point for the moonbat party.
