Dems release the "next" 47% tape? Romney asks employers to tell employees how

[240 is Back]

A non-issue?   Or another october bombshell?   What do you think?

it's wrong for Unions to tell people how to vote.  Is this right?


Leaked Audio Captures Romney Asking Employers To Tell Their Employees How To Vote

Newly-discovered audio from a conference call in June captures Mitt Romney asking business owners to urge their employees to vote for him.
 
Romney, speaking on a call to the very conservative National Federation of Independent Business, tells a group of business owners that they should “make it very clear” how they feel about the candidates. He also tells the business owners to “pass… along to your employees” how their jobs might be effected by who wins in November:
 
I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections. And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope — I hope you pass those along to your employees. Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision and of course doing that with your family and your kids as well.

It smacks of desperation by the Democrats.

perhaps.  You know they're throwing everything at romney that they have - just 20 days left to inflict damage before elections.

Does this mean it it is acceptable for unions to 'encourage' people how to vote?  (cause I sure dont think so!)

If I own a business and based on a policy that the Dems or Repubs will pass or have passed, I could grow or lose my business....I think I might pass that on to those I employ so they can base their decision to vote and who to vote for on some kind of reality.

You ever known a business to hire more people than they need to get a job done?

No?

Me neither.

but is it right for the presidenital candidate to whisper this in employers ears?

I dunno, i think if a tape emerged of obama on the phone with the union bosses saying the same thing, it'd bea HUGE deal.

They do...the Unions tell their people how to vote all the time.  Again if I own a small business and because the current douchbag  in the whitehouse has decided to give everybody a free phone and medical...thus causing me to miss payroll or reduce my staff...I think I might tell my folks that its in their best interest to vote for the other guy.
