Some of you may want to read this 17 second clip 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 be able to say that I’m going to get someone else to provide that service to me.”

This is the dumbest NON-Story.  Hell, I don't even like Romney and I think this is an unfair characterization of his remarks.

@HENRYPATRICK1736 Very intelligent observation. You obviously can understand simple English, as well as the little modifier "TO BE ABLE", unlike the jerks who are slavering over this phony "gross error".

@ruffzspree Dude......... get a life... lol I wrote one comment and received like five. If you don't realize what's goin on - that Obama has passed a law to indefinitely detain and legally assassinate american citizens, WITHOUT charge OR trial; and now he's trying to pass a law to strip american citizenship away from the people - then you're just a sheep. Republicans and Democrats are all the same - working towards the same goal: one world government. RON PAUL 2012

Al Sharpton was the worst liar on this . He was ranting that we need a president to create jobs not one who likes firing people. That is the worst twisting of facts -it is shameful.

@TKRFLB if anyone is stripping rights its the fucking republican party. Womens rights, voters rights etc but you wouldn't know that since you "didn't give a fuck who was running the country." Think before you open your mouth. You have no credibility and you just got owned... so you cry to your mommy you little bitch

[ruffzspree]

@TKRFLB Paranoid much? ignorant much? what "rights" did he strip from you? what? wanting millionaires to pay higher in taxes to help with the debt and protecting social secruity/medicare? did he happen to take your guns away from you? lol do a little research before you spew your tea bagger bullshit to me.

@TKRFLB bringing home troops from Iraq, cuts to programs we don't need. Protecting the water and air quality for american citizens. Healthcare for people who don't have it, making rules protecting people from being denied by insurance companies because of a preexisting condition. Keeping peoples children on their health plan longer raising the age. All of this while the republican congress was cock blocking him preventing him to get more stuff done.

@TKRFLB He saved this country from going into a depression thanks to bush. He saved the US auto industry and the jobs that went along with it. Made prescription drugs cheaper for the elderly. Put in laws to protect consumers from credit card companies with fees and a bunch of other nonsense. Consumer protection agency to look out for the common man. Killed a bunch of al qaeda leaders and kept us safe with his great foreign policy. Tax breaks for the middle class, helping our vets find work.

@ruffzspree Obama will lead this country in a better direction?! Name one thing that man has done that has been beneficial to this country or its citizens? That being said, I was more or less apathetic until here recently. I didn't give a fuck who was running the country until he started claiming ownership of my rights. I don't know about you but I value my freedom. Obama signed NDAA and is currently trying to pass the enemy expatriation act. I think the appropriate candidate is obvious.

@recalcitrist1 easily led? doubt it. I have more intelligence than you to know a complete fake rich asshole unlike you. I trust Obama because I know he will lead this country in a better direction than some immoral, bloody thirsty republicans will. Time for you to let go of the Romney hard on. Stop voting against your ecnomic interest douche bag
