Romney Takes Heat From Crowd Over Firing Remarks

Romney isn’t likely to catch a break on his ‘I like to be able to fire people’ gaffe just yet. At an event in New Hampshire Tuesday, as Romney held a baby, someone in the audience yelled, “Are you going to fire the baby?”

6. This story sure grew legs

There was a context to the firing statement from the corporate raider, who bought and merged companies, then fired the redundant employees. Fucker.

But he was talking about firing your insurance agent, if a better plan becomes available, at a better price. Most of us would be intimidated to mess with our coverage and we are a loyal people. He said he liked firing agents that didn't fill their bill of goods. Which is what American's are used to buying. A bill of goods, remember when you bought that?

7. And that is of course

No where near his exact quote. Look it up.

9. I'd like to fire my insurance company, but with a pre-existing condition,

I can't. And I'm lucky; there are a lot of people who have no insurance copmpany to fire.

Miit should get out among the peasants more often.

[Uncle Joe]

8. That was good.

Thanks for the thread, cthulu.
