Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican Party nominee, spoke to the National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) yesterday in a Tele-Townhall meeting, telling them to make it very clear to their employees who they should vote for in the November General
Election. The NFIB has over 100,000 members nationwide.
"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," Romney said. "And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, 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 believe that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision."
Romney laughed, saying nothing illegal about informing your employees, even if it may be inferred as a threat to losing their jobs.

Who the hell does this psychopath thinks he is? He can't persuade people to vote for him, so he resorts to terrorist tactics like intimidating voters with taking the food out of their mouths?

Mitt is a nasty little weasel.
