I want to fire Romney! I can't find a doctor to take Neighborhood Health/MassHealth Insurance!! If Romney was President, HE would have socialized medicine!!! Yep, every Senator, Congress Rep and GI has SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. Why cant I have socialized medicine? If we ALL had it, we would save billions as a society and have a healthier country!!!
The fact is, Romney was WRONG about being able to fire health insurance companies. That's not how it works. You don't find out your insurance is poor until you get sick, and at that point, insurance companies WANT you to fire them. Heck, before "ObamaCare," they'd fire YOU if you got sick with something expensive, like cancer.
I didn't like taking one phrase out of context, and it wasn't even necessary. His full comment was bogus enough. True, Romney has done far worse than that, but still...
who says they fire insurance companies? If I change my insurance or a service provider I don't say I fired them. There is something about his comments that makes him sound insenstive and power hungry.
I could tell this was a bogus soundbite the second the "story" hit the presses. Obviously, ANYONE would prefer to have the ability to fire someone for doing a lousy job. Now, I'm a liberal and I still despise Romney for his job killing, corporate raider past, and I'm none too thrilled at the idea of a mormon being president. But I'm still willing to call bullshit on the media for something trifling like this.
He wasn't talking about the employers there, he was talking about the client's right to seek other services provided by other companies, so the ones that do the firing aren't the employers but the clients that figuratively fire the service provider that doesn't provide good service by seeking the service somewhere else, so show some integrity and post the whole speech
@thomez....oh and IF YOU WOULD HAVE LISTENED to what Romney really said was that "he enjoyed firing people" he was referring to INSURANCE companies becuase they rob us blind. Stop listening to sound bites and people trying to take the words from any candidate and turn bend the truth from the statement.
@thomez- First off, you cant even get MIT ROMNEYS name right. So obviousley your just an Obama kiss ass who listens to what liberal stations like Cnn or Msnbc says and doesnt listen to any other outlets. Especially the GOP debates. Is Mit the answer? I dont know. But WE do know Obama isnt! Obama is the opposite of what we need right now. We do know Obama is a liar and has accomplished NOTHING!! He spent more money that any President in history. More than Bush, who served 8 years.
Anyone notice how many "I'm not a Republican or Romney supporter" statements have been popping up lately. In need of damage control that badly, huh? ;)
19EHF Your an idiot...the RICH PAY MORE TAXES. If you make 50,000 a year and pay 15% your paying waaaaaaaaay less then someone who pays 15% of 500,000. Pays way more than a cab driver. How about the 47% of Americans WHO DONT PAY ANY TAXES? Everyone should pay taxes and stop making 1% of the people carry the weight of everyone. Obama sucks and cant wait till hes out of office. I dont care if your liberal, conservative or what.....the economy sucks and Obama has no clue what hes doing.
@ScubaDiverPicker you don't know but obama might have kept us going under he did do alot of stuff not deemed popular but its what needed to be done so that there wasn't a bigger pile of problems for the next president. and mick romney is a corporate puppet . nuff said
Only us real Americans will Vote Republican in 2012. Soon we will have real leadership in Romney and a Majority GOP. We need to bring back the Reagan and Bush Jr days. American needs good Moral leadership and be returned to God. Liberals hate America and GOD. Christians we need to rise For Jesus. Vote for Romney he can lead us into world war 3 attack Iran and Russia. Nuclear war is the only way to stop the Liberal hating agenda.
@MegaELECTRICEYE Um tell me your joking.... please? im begging you i refuse to belive anyone is that naive. Right lets return to Bush Jr., the man who started two wars, the man who didnt care about catching the guy who attacked us, the man who lets the wealthy get away with everything and who let wall street loose like a teenager with a no limit credit card.
@MegaELECTRICEYE I am a liberal and how dare you tell me I hate my country and God. I have cousins serving in the military to protect the freedom that ignorant people like you enjoy. I am a christian and i love God and support the troops. I pray to God just like you do. What just because your a romney supporter that makes you holier than thou? Get real.
@MegaELECTRICEYE Romney is nothing more than a lighter version of Bush. You love America? Do you want an America that only benefits the wealthy? An america where Wall Street runs loose (cuz we all know how well deregulation turned out for us) Rise for Jesus and yet you advocate WW3 on two nations that have done nothing to us. The GOP is out of touch with the american people unless you believe the wealthy should pay less taxes than the cab driver OBAMA 2012
@19EHF Liberals want Government to conrol everything. We need less Gov and more personal freedoms. This is what the GOP and America Stands for. Obama wants the communist to take over this country. Obama as had plenty of time to create Jobs. Instead he has made things worse. Socialism does not work. Liberal democrats cannot love this country this country and they don't understand war is Gods plan.
Also we need Romney to attack Iran, since Obama is such a waste and want do anything. Iran is a threat to Israel and we must protect Israel at all cost. If Russia hates it we nuke them too. Maybe a good Nuclear war will stop the communist anti Liberal agenda. Liberals hate God and America. A nuclear war is in Gods plan to bring back Jesus Christ. Us Christians will support Romney if he fullfills the Bible Prophecies to bring back Jesus Christ. Liberals your days are numbered Gods party in 2012
You Dumb Libterds crack me up. The one who is going to get fired is Socialist Obama. We need a good Conservative like Romney. SO Liberals he will win he has the money, Big Corporations wall street and Bankers will see to that. Also Romney will create more Jobs for China. And crush the low life middle Class Americans.
I'm not a Republican or Romney supporter, but let's at least be honest enough to hear the statement IN context.
“I want individuals to have their own insurance. That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don’t like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me.
If someone doesn’t give me the good service that I need, I want to say I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.”
THIS IS CNN AND WE CAN NOW PROJECT THAT BARACK OBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED AS THE 44TH PRESIDENT. Thank you romney for handing the election to us. But seriously he let the truth slip out there. I know he was talking about insurance companies but that soundbite plays into the democrats hands. For a guy who critisizes the president for using a teloprompter he couldve used one himself
What the Republicans don't understand is that if Ron Paul was the presidential candidate of their party, not only would he get their votes as well as the votes of Democrats who are unsatisfied with Obama and see some of the views they believe being defended by congressman Paul.
@Try2MakeSenseOrSTFU Um no he will not. Im a democrat but I like Huntsman because he is reasonable, smart, has foreign policy experience and puts country ahead of politics, and isnt trying to appeal to the far right (tea party), in other words........he doesnt stand a chance.
I'm a moderate New Hampshire Republican (most of us are pretty much in the middle, forget what the media reports), and was a pretty strong Romney supporter until yesterday. In my hometown of Nashua, he told a bunch of my rich neighbors that he "likes being able to fire people." No way I'm pulling the lever for this guy now. Paul seems a little crazym, so I'm going with Huntsmann.
I find this channel repugnant, and it's not because I'm conservative. I find political shills for either side repulsive. Try posting something not out of context for once. Misleading propaganda makes you worse than those you try to discredit.
ROFL! well mitt, if you promise to fire the people in congress if you get in. i'll vote for you. but first, you must prove your worth by dueling obama with lightsabers.
Romney was a vulture-capitalist, I've dealt with his kind. They enjoy looking for struggling companies, buy them on the cheap, lay off as many as they can and either flip the company off to another firm, or fire everybody & liquidate the assets. The guy is a creep, vote for Huntsman.
im trying to figure it out. do u really believe Mitt Romney said he likes to fire people? or did u 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.
@CStack2Ci Romney is the epitome of the perverse ideology that every other Republican candidate believes despite all the evidence against it - neoliberalism. Don't moralize the issue: the problem is a structural one. Laws are meaningless if we require people to have an additional sense of guilt to prevent them from doing something. There will always be people like Romney who do the 'evil' thing. But when our laws allow it, we can only blame ourselves.
@CStack2Ci Vote for Paul or America is gone. Every candidate is the same as bush or Obama. destroying the constitution little by little. Now we are getting closer to war with Iran and Russia and China has Iran's back. WW3 is around the corner and we need someone to stop it and the only one that will is Paul
This attack is completely fair. Sure, Mitt Romney was talking about health care providers, but then he offered this ANALOGY to anytime someone provides you "services" that aren't "good" - Mitt Romney doesn't try to work with them or fix the problem. Naturally, in Mitt Romney's world, you just fire them.
This is the dumbest NON-Story. It says a lot about the anyone who would take this out of context for political gain. Hell, I don't even like Romney and I think this is an unfair characterization of his remarks.
I really dislike Romney for President, but this is pathetic, it's obviously out of context, the fact that you go out of your way to present this out of context is void of creativity. Your ads suck.
That the comment was not made in the context of Romney admitting that he enjoyed kicking fellow Americans out of work solely to enrich a small group of wealthy investors is immaterial. That it shines a light on the fact that this was his business (however unintentionally) is what matters. It's time for America to start talking about the false job-creator meme, and the wealthy criminals who perpetuate it handing out pinkslips with one hand and stuffing their wallets with the other.
WOW.. I don't even want Mitt for 2012, I'm a Paul supporter but really, how much of a piece of shit do you have to be to take something so WAY out of context. Damn....
I'm a Democrat (I mean, consider the alternative!), and there are plenty of real quotes to use against Romney. So why distort this "I like being able to fire people" remark? Do you think you're Republicans or something?
If you listen to the whole thing, he has a point. He's still wrong. And his pandering to right-wing extremists shows that he'll agree to ANYTHING if he thinks it will help him get elected. But why not leave the fake stuff for the Republicans? They've had more practice, anyway.
