Romney: "I like being able to fire people"

[Marge6351]

Medicare is bad... but why on Earth??? Oh, Romney says citizens should not depend on the government. Oh, alright then... hey wait a minute... that doesn't make any sense, heeheehee, you darn republicans are so funny, they should be comedians.

[retroillumination]

@Marge6351 There is a difference between limited government(republican goal) and government excess(current democrat ran US). The government should not be in place for citizens to indefinitely depend on. But democrats need it this way to get votes.

That is what the comedians (liberal mainstream media) won't tell you.

[debbiewasshername]

republicans are morons. and romney is lord moron .

republicans hate detroit, american labor, american car companies and in the south have created a slave auto non union JAPANESE run auto industry. They are still confederates, all republican solutions are based on the fact that they lost the civil war.

republicans are not americans, they are CONFEDERATE TRAITORS and many dont even know thats what they support. SO, i dont blame republicans for being manipulated by the elite republican lords

[retroillumination]

@debbiewasshername News flash: Lincoln was a republican and he ended slavery. During the civil war, the north was republican. haha

[debbiewasshername]

@retroillumination

you were a baby once

when you were baby you sucked yor moms teets so according to your logic you still do

[retroillumination]

@debbiewasshername False. What you say is not logically sound. My last reply corrected your mistaken assumption that democrats were in the north during the civil war. They were not. They were in the south and fought against Abraham Lincoln when he was ending slavery.

[debbiewasshername]

@retroillumination your straw man diarrhea is boring. youre a republican therefore youre a greedy cheap mean spirited psychopath. That is more of a fact. shame on you and your treasonous party. take your non union toyota plants in the south and stick them up your ugly shabby butt

[retroillumination]

@debbiewasshername You sound like a typical liberal to me. Nothing but biased diarrhea of the mouth with closed ears. Did you even read my replies to you correcting your history mistakes? When you feel like pulling yourself out of ignorance, go ahead.

[dtorfleming]

This statement is being taken out of context, but it is funny given Romney's history with Bain.

[MrTouchShriek]

Anyone notice how many "I'm not a Republican or Romney supporter, BUT" statements have been popping up lately. In need of damage control that badly, huh, but can't admit you support such a lukewarm candidate? ;)

[Cammie010]

@MrTouchShriek yeah I'm not going to vote for Romney but anyone who can't see that this statement has been taken way out of context is an idiot

[usmc343]

the sad thing is, people will actually vote for this prick.

[glycoboy]

im trying to figure it out. do you really believe Mitt Romney said he likes to fire people? or did you actually listen & understand that he was talking about firing insurance providers that arent taking care of u properly? if the later, then u choose ignorance despite knowing better. that is bearing false witness against him! leaving ur emotional hatred for Mitt aside, reflect in your life the dozens of times u've switched cable, security, insurance, yard service providers only to b better off.

[havlorech]

@glycoboy No. They listen to the part they want to hear and shut their brains off, because they're too stupid to engage in any debate other than mudslinging and bumper sticker slogans.

[debbiewasshername]

he fired people in the companies lame capital took over and apparently loved to put people out of work. This is typical of multi millionaires. Steal jobs, and make money on other people's misery. Very sad indeed to see this psycho as a potential candidate

@debbiewasshername

If a dying alcoholic visits the doctor for treatment and later dies because he can't stop drinking, does the doctor still get paid? The answer is yes. If a failing business goes to Bain for help and still fails, does Romney still get paid? The answer is yes.

[durhamdf]

@retroillumination And if Bain borrows money to buy a company with the stated purpose of chopping up its American manufacturing sector to sell of the American Assets and ship those jobs to slave labor in China does Mitt Romney get paid? YUP! Job creators my ass! Count the net jobs Romney has shipped overseas and then defend the retarded policies of trickle down economics!

[retroillumination]

@durhamdf Don't know why you'd waist your time replying to me if you're only going to use diarrhea of the mouth.

[durhamdf]

@retroillumination lol looks like you don't have a reply little boy so why don't you sit in the corner while the adults have a conversation. THANKS!

[retroillumination]

@durhamdf you must have missed it when your ears were plugged and diarrhea was still coming out of your mouth. How about using tactics based on facts & not liberal media? Bain has a branch in China that works in China. The US branch works here. It's a system based on efficiency & resuscitating failing businesses in a way that they should be able to stay alive & well. Some jobs are cut because they are unnecessary. This happened to you right? That's why you're bitter and on youtube 24/7

[durhamdf]

@retroillumination Which is why 4 of the 10 biggest companies Romney "restructured" immediately went into chapter 7 bankruptcy! And this was before Bain switched from buying startups to executing leveraged buyouts where their goal from the begining was to cut costs, i.e. ship jobs off to slave labor in China and sell off all the companies' manufacturing assets. Not illegal by any means, but not the sort of thing a president wants to run on either! I'm in grad school buddy, and it is my break

[retroillumination]

@durhamdf The only reason you would think that any of the companies went immediately into bankruptcy is by either watching "king of bain" or believing left-left-wing media distortions. Since you're not listening to reason, why don't you try fact check. They recently did a report on media distortions and Romney's work. What are you studying in grad school, left wing tactics and fact distortion? I hope I'm not being too offensive, it is just frustrating to see so many people believing blatant crap

@retroillumination LA Times: "Four of the 10 [top dollar] companies Bain acquired declared bankruptcy within a few years, shedding thousands of jobs. The prospectus shows that Bain investors profited in eight of the 10 deals, including three of the four that ended in bankruptcy" Sorry little boy, just because you are too stupid to do some basic research yourself doesn't make it untrue. I'm in business school getting an M.S. in marketing but at third grader could do this simple background search!

Your own party does not like you for good reason and yet, you somehow think America will support your job killing ass, asswipe.

Go Fuck Yourself.

This is the dumbest NON-Story. It says a lot about the anyone who would take this out of context for political gain.
