CBS - Employer Brags About Firing Obama Supporter Due To HCR and Taxes
A Doctor in Florida gained notariety for refusing to treat patients who voted for President Obama due to HCR. Now, we have someone bragging about firing a person who voted for President Obama due to HCR. I guess the message is that people should either vote Republican or do not vote at all or you will be fired by a Republican manager who will then brag about it publicly or you will be left to die by a Republican Doctor. Oddly, in both cases, they are retaliating now based on future projections. I

So, with the flurry of media coverage of such acts, I guess the message is to vote Republican or stay home on election day.

Last Friday, someone going by the name "dermdoc" posted a thread on a message board for Texas A&M students and alumni with this topic: "Laid off my first Obama voting employee today."

"Our reimbursement rates are spiraling downward, taxes are projected to go up with Obamacare, so I did it," the person wrote. He later added: "I made this decision because I can."

"It is kind of interesting watching their face as you explain to them the economic consequences of the policies of the guy they voted for," wrote dermdoc.

"Elections have consequences," wrote dermdoc. "If you vote for someone who raises my taxes and lowers my income, you pay the cost."

And an Obot bites the dust. What infuriates the DUmmies about this is the sure knowledge that it's a one-way street. They have no hope of retaliation. Who works for a DUmmy?

2. Yup. Indicted, and losing license to practice due to fraud and tax evasion
Come on, dermadoc.. Even my own dermatologists thinks they'll survive.

Let's see a show of hands. How many believe a dermatologist would confide in a cross-eyed, terminally fat, partially deaf, simple-minded DUmmy like Hawkeye-X. Well, I guess since he's an aspiring veterinarian, there may have been some professional courtesy involved.

5. Well, If Folks Can Murder (Roeder), Fly Airplanes Into IRS Buildings and Plan Acts of Terrorism...
 ...Based on the propaganda and lies being spread on Fox News, why is it so hard to believe that someone in management would think that it perfectly alright to retaliate against folks who vote Democratic? Heck, you have a rise in death threats against Democratic members of Congress.

Why is it so hard to believe that someone would lay someone off, then brag about it as though they are some hero? In their warped Fox News world, they are fighting for their freedom against socialism by throwing your ass out on the pavement.

3. I talked to a staunch Republican doctor today about the HCR bill.
He said that there would be negligible effect on PCPs and did not think there would be a loss of patients. He works in a hospital and expects the hospitals to get a reduction in income. This information is totally different from what I hear from Republicans who are not in the medical profession..

 
DUmmy theoldman is as reliable a source as the cross-eyed, terminally fat, partially deaf, simple-minded DUmmy Hawkeye-X.

6. This needs to be illegal, this is a return to the dark days before private voting
America already had a time when big business bosses would threaten their employees with termination to get them to vote how they wanted to, back when it wasn't a private ballot. This is basically going around the law to fire someone legally.  

Whoa! Whoa! This DUmmy has it backwards! Isn't the whole point of the democrat socialist labor legislation to eliminate the secret ballot from union representation elections? Secret ballots make it harder to buy votes and intimidate voters. Union thugs, Chicago politicians, and democrats in general, hate the secret ballot.

Yeah.... unions pretty much tell you who to vote for.  My mom used to work for a union and they said you HAVE to vote democratic.  That's what my mother told me anyway.  She's a little nuts.  Not sure if it's true or not.  I have never worked for a union, and never will, so I don't know what the facts are there.

Now "dermdoc" says he was just trolling. We could have guessed. No way a dedicated supporter of the jug-eared Kenyan would still be employed after over a year of the Oconomy.

My MIL gets a magazine put out by the steel workers union.  It is always about how great Obama is and how everyone should vote for a democrat and the great things they are doing for the union.  If you are a republican in a union around here you keep your mouth shut.

Being "in the tools" of two utility companies, I can say that the one I'm in now is, at least locally, pretty apolitical, but the IBEW Local I belonged to when I was working for SCE was totally on the Dem jocks.  Every election season we got a "suggested" voting guide.  Never saw a single Republican on it--EVER.

I'd hazard a guess and say that my public employees union is 35%-40% Republican.  A lot of us "fly under the radar."

That is one of the problems. They think they work for the union and not the employer.
