  • Fuck white people

  • @afrikasteele

    Re: "fuck white people"

    Your bigotry, in addition to being stupid and repulsive, works against your presumed political objectives. Do you think Obama could've been elected without huge numbers of white voters? Don't you know that most of your allies in opposing the republicans are white?

  • (cont)

    Out of curisoity, I found this story from Politico ("2010: Exit polls: How Obama won"): "Barack Obama, who will be the nation’s first African-American president, won the largest share of white support of any Democrat in a two-man race since 1976... A stunning 54 percent of young white voters supported Obama, compared with 44 percent who went for McCain, the senator from Arizona. In the past three decades, no Democratic presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young whites"

  • Easy Gordon Gekko!

  • My 3 year old daughter has juvenile arthritis, and is with Cigna. There's NO WAY I can fire Cigna no matter how lousy they are and no matter how much more they raise rates, because nobody else will insure her due to the preexisting condition.

    Health insurers can't be fired like "excess" employees. Without health care reform, health care insurers OWN YOU.

  • Vote Mitt Romney

    "I know I'm a rotten scumbag - at least I admit it"

  • Also, they raise your rates for no reason. I'd rather be one of the people who dies because of lack of insurance than have to pay the stupid thing to uptight douchebags who have more money than me because they sold their souls for profit.

  • Health insurance sucks these days. It's overpriced and is run by greedy money suckers who only care about more money for themselves. Not to mention poor coverage and poor customer service. A good health insurance provider is an oxymoron.

  • @GenerationX1984 Day 560 Wednesday January 11/2012 in We The People Against Corruption Campaign to Remove and Indict Obama, DHS Janet et al. For me it is personal. American Community Mutual Health Ins.FRAUD in Livonia, Mich. of the estate of me DEAD. Nothing more than a sham transaction to moneylaunder. Bunch of sheisters who I have the legal right to fire. @WillardMittRomney where is it anywhere in the law that I do not have the right to be alive?Who blew up the buildings? Who funded u in Mass?

  • How bout higher taxes, but free health care to all, like some other coutries? -.-

  • Mitt, Ron & Jon, GO HOME NOW!!! If you stay you are setting yourself up for a HUGE failure!!!

    It's inevitable...OBAMA 2012

  • How sad. He actually admits that he enjoys firing people. It says a lot about his character.

  • Oh stop with that nonsense. That same old rant about America love it or leave it. The reality is U.S. corporations shipped those jobs to China because of the slave wages they could pay to grossly enhance their profits

  • Hahaha he realized his fuck up when he stuttered after the gaffe and tried sugar coating it by saying "I like firing somebody who doesn't provide good services to me"

  • rich prick.

  • He never said, he like to fire people. He said if he does not like the service, he like to fire such a bad sufflier. This is another of this Soros outfit making such claim

  • Wait, so if I have stage 3 cancer and my current insurance company just isn't paying for anything I can fire them and just get a different insurer under Mitt's plan. You mean an insurance company will take me on with stage 3 cancer?

    yeah, go fuck yourself Mitt.

  • Me too. Nothing wrong with wanting that.

  • What an asshole wannabe whom is nothing an never will be anything Good Riddens you sob

  • And if you are not healthy, the insurance company has an incentive to see you dead.

  • Doesnt matter who wins. They all are going to keep taking away our money and civil liberties.

    Except Mr Paul

  • @doug47130 LOLOLOLOL, Paul will take away more of your money and civil liberties than you realize. Take a look at the gilded age in America and tell me that was an era of prosperity for all.

  • This is the dumbest NON-Story. It says a lot about the people who would take this out of context for political gain. Republikkans are lowlife cockroaches. Hell, I don't even like Romney and I think this is an unfair characterization of his remarks.

  • He makes it sound like swapping health insurance companies is an easy process that can be achieved in a few minutes. Bullshit. There are doctors appointments, medical checks, blood tests, complex forms to fill out, important decisions to be made etc.

  • @AtheistOnTheEdge "He makes it sound like swapping health insurance companies is an easy process that can be achieved in a few minutes."

    That's exactly how it should be if we profess to support a free market economy. Health care is a service and should be treated as such. Just like you the person who cuts your hair, you can change that service provider at the drop of a hat.

  • @cooperbry Mitt isn't talking about health care. He's talking about health insurance. If you believe in a free market, which many conservatives do, then it's pretty obvious that the profit motive behind health insurance is NOT providing service, as any service they provide cuts profit.

    So to say that health insurance ever has an incentive to provide good health care is simply a lie.

  • @shalcall Health Insurance is a product. Specifically, it's a contract to receive health services in return for a set premium.

    There is a profit motive behind selling flat screen televisions. They seem to get cheaper and better over time. Why isn't that the case for Health Insurance or Health Care for that matter?

    The reason why s simple. The laws interfere with the market. The government involvement is the problem, not the solution!

  • @cooperbry Oh God you're ignorant. No, the reason flat screen televisions have gotten cheaper is well documented and is due to economies of scale plus overproduction during the housing boom followed by a cut in household spending right after the boom. There is a huge amount of inventory and retailers are not making the money they once did and are thus slashing prices.

    You have not addressed the FACT that health insurance companies profit from NOT providing care.

  • @shalcall The reason flat screen TVs are so cheap and better than ever is because there is a "FREE MARKET" unencumbered by the federal government!

  • @cooperbry O.K., stay in denial about flat screen t.v.'s You're just proving you understand very little about economics.

  • @shalcall Let's assume you're correct about the TVs. How do you explain laser eye surgery, computers or cell phones? I'm not ignorant or in denial, the facts speak for themselves.

    Anything the government gets involved in causes prices to rise and quality to drop. Just look around and it's clear to see. North Korea and China are calling for you. Don't disappoint them. :)

  • @cooperbry In the case of computers and cell phones you are looking at increasing economies of scale. A similar factor is at play with laser eye surgery with more and more doctors performing the surgery. Please note that in each case the manufacturer or doctor profits from their creative work. This is not the case with insurance, where the insurer profits when they do NOT have to provide you service.

  • @shalcall OK, for all but your last sentence you would agree that the free market is working.

    I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say I think we agree. However, I like to explore the root causes of why things are the way they are. In 1973, the Federal Government passed the HMO Act that forced large employers to offer HMOs to employees. This method of insuring was cheaper than traditional insurance and drove a wedge between the consumer and the provider. Thank tricky Dick for that.

  • @cooperbry Who gives a fuck about flatscreen tv's ?!

  • @Chesedrosen Evidently, not you.

  • @cooperbry Flat screens are a bad example the consumer electronic market is regulated... energy efficiency standards... so not unencombered...

  • @shalcall They would have every incentive in a free market to satisfy their customers. That is, if the customer can just move to a different insurance company, that's incentive enough to provide good health coverage to clients. Businesses only make sense if they make a profit, so, to say that it's evil for businesses to make a profit is nonsense.

    You are arguing vigorously against a system that has made the USA the most prosperous in history.

  • @cooperbry First, I didn't say it was evil for businesses to make a profit. What you're doing is ignoring HOW insurance companies make money. Please explain how insurance companies make a profit and then try to tell me with a straight face that they have an incentive to provide good health care.

    And I'm not arguing against any system, I'm telling you how insurance companies work. You seem to not understand how they make money.

  • He is exactly right!  PERIOD

  • The only thing more idiotic about that statement are the people who believe it

  • @WORKERSANDDREAMERS I must be an idiot. However, more to the point, you sound like someone who does not believe in the political or economic system under which we operate! Hey, you could always move to China for what you're looking for...

  • Comment removed

  • Yep....still a dip shit.

  • Oh yeah, like it's THAT EASY to switch insurance providers and shit, esp. when they're expensive as FUCK. Moron...

    If what he's saying is true, why didn't insurers cover those with preexisting conditions? SURELY they could've come up with some way to try to incentive some of these folks to "get healthier", right? If possible

    But they didn't. Go fuck yourself, Mitt. Job-destroyer...

  • @whoo689 He said earlier in the speech he would make it against the law for insurance companies to discriminate on pre-existing conditions...

  • @whoo689 Stupid fucking liberal go to hell and suck clintons dick! AND MAKE MORE MONEY YOU STUPID POOR BASTARD THIS IS AMERICA

  • @theMuffinMan9999

    Oh, and why are you being such a dick?

  • It's not so much out of context as it is very telling of Romney as a person. There's always an important grain of truth in the words people use to convey ideas.

  • Phoney, phoney!

  • I hope team Obama takes this quote out of context just like Romney did to Obama with the McCain quote about the economy. Plus, I bet there's a lot of truth to Romney's quote, even IN context.

  • @radudeATL The President wouldnt allow his team to take this out of context and play it, like Romney did to him. He has too much class for that AND it would legitmize Romeny taking the President out of context. I dont think theres a contraversy in this statement by Romney, I understood what he was trying say perfectly.

  • @thenewmike2012 You're right in that the President himself wouldn't go there. The Super PACs, on the other hand... And context is everything. What Romney said was perfectly understandable and non-controversial. Just like when Obama said about McCain that "...if we keep talking about the economy, we'll lose the election." [paraphrased]. Yet Romney took it completely out of context to make it sound like Obama was saying that about his own campaign. An eye for an eye is what I'm proposing...

  • @radudeATL If Romney turns out to be the nominee, as it looks like he will, Im sure Obama wont forget about that add by Romney taking him out of context. Hows life in ATL..I used to live by Peachtree Park a looong time ago. Is the Omni still there in downtown?

  • @thenewmike2012 The Omni was replaced by Phillips Arena a decade or more ago. That neighborhood is transforming quite a bit. I don't live in ATL anymore either - now I'm in Denver. But all my family is back east. Good times!

  • @radudeATL NIce, hows life in Denver? I went through Boulder on a trip. It was great! Are you on the Tebow ban wagon now? Im an Eagles fan, so Im still crying in my beer! LOL

  • That headline is completely out of context.

  • @SOLROSENBERG2 Although this guy is a scoundrel, you are right.

  • I'd Like Being Able To Fire the USA government!

  • @TheDrfoxx

    RABLE RABBLE RABBBLE!

  • I like to be able to fire people who provide services to me.

  • So what?

  • Boo tpmtv! You truncated "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me" into "I like being able to fire people", which significantly changes the apparent meaning. The political Right's dishonesty & propoganda might be effective, but I'm not willing to copy their sleazy games just "to win". Call them on their BS, and tackle them on the merits of their claims... but don't stoop to their level.

  • @VeryEvilPettingZoo I agree!!

  • @VeryEvilPettingZoo ....DITTO....This is beneath your standards tpmtv!

  • Looks like Camp Obama & Axelrod have some material if Willard wins the GOP nomination...

  • LMAO He tries to catch the words coming out of his mouth. Can you just see his campaign staff in the background choking on their tongues LOL! So Sad Willard Now lets just sit back and wait on SNL to slaughter him

  • Not a good quote for him.

  • This video clip does NOT provide the message so many commenters are responding to. He is simply saying he likes capitalism and the free and vigorous competition it brings. Now if only these politicians would wake up and challenge the monstrous corporations that oversee our economy (and free up competition at the same time), that would be a good thing.

  • Let's hope America Fires his disingenuous ass!

  • True Romney did like firing people as co-founder of Bain Capital. With their leverage buy outs of companies, people lost their jobs. While Bain Capital made huge profits.

  • Profiting off sick people is sick. Private insurance companies, their employees and their shareholders are perhaps the biggest scumbags of the earth.

  • @ron7006 Nobody profits off sick people. Pharma company change the world. Let me tell you something, a drug that takes decades to make IS NOT A GOOD BUSINESS! GO MAKE MONEY YOU STUPID POOR BASTARD.

  • @theMuffinMan9999 Read what you wrote and tell me you aren't retarded from taking your pharma company's drugs. Lay off the caps lock while you're at it.

  • @theMuffinMan9999

    Ummm..., you might take a moment to look at the profitability and exec compensation of the biotech and pharma companies. Lot's of people make a fortune from sick people.

    These are excellent businesses and good investments.

  • We would like to Fire all who voted for NAFTA, bailouts and the NDAA.....

  • Mitt is a true executive and this is the attitude it takes to be one. But can you see the Ron Paul influence on everyone now? Right down to the way they try to speak like him. Dr. Paul is just the guy. Not anti Mitt. Not anti Rick nor Huntsman, but PRO Ron Paul. NaFTA Newt Never.

  • This is wrong, all you haters can stick your head up Goldman Sachs' ass (but you'll have to push President Obama out of the way to get there).

    Mittens Romney is teflon. And as long as Mittens is wearing his magic underpants, he is protected by his Mormon faith. Fuck you non-believers... the 1000 year old moon men, who are the foundation of earthly Mormonism, will rally to his side.

  • @jag10 "This is wrong, all you haters can..."

    It is called projection, haters themselves assume others as hater immediately and easily.

    Based on your self ironic crap comment, yep. Another moron.

  • Wow! TPM really wants to surpass it's idol Fox News in manipulation and taking people out of context. I'm no Romney fan but this is disingenuous and typical of a filthy news outlet.

  • Wow a video that attack Mitt actually managed to failed!

    Delete your YouTube account now.

  • TPM, You scumbag! You took him completely out of context. You should apologize. I would never hire you, so no worries about firing you.

  • @bboucharde Lol @ the people bitching about context. How much more context do you dummies need?

  • Fuck you, TPM. You're preying on emotionalism. Obviously, firings and joblessness rile people up, so why not make your political opponent look like a blood-thirsty sadist, right?

  • another misleading video from tpm.

  • Crazy man

  • Yes, that's right Mitt. Customers fire service providers. That's why all of the banks have fired their CEOs after 2008 meltdown.

  • dummy- this is a Obama ad

  • Comment removed

  • Most people don't have the option of firing their crappy service providers. Different story with multi-millionaires.

  • @RedTory59

    truisms make one more susceptible to accepting the message from somebody so that it's easier for him to achieve his objectives.

    ... but that doesnt mean that u have the power/money to do it.

    for example, how many have transferred all of their wealth out of the fraudster banks?

  • I don't understand, I like to have the ability to fire people too. Who wouldn't? lol

  • meh
