Romney In Nh
if when mitty looked out into the crowd &
told us all sitting at home
that “he likes being able to fire people,”
you smiled or
clapped,
or clapped & smiled,
then you have probably never been fired from a job---
you have certainly never been “let go,”
or as they say in manager-speak,
“no longer with us.”
when what he said rang home to you,
what exactly did you feel?
did you say to yourself,
“hoorah, now we will finally have a country
that is run like a corporation & here is the CEO who will do
the job?”
did you think that finally a man has come along who will wash
the liberals out of washington---
one who will finally kick out all those who whine because they
can’t make the grade
in this wonderful capitalist free market economy of ours?
are you sick of people who say that they can’t find jobs
when really, you think they just don’t want those that are available?
ya think that mitty represents you, the honest, hardworking, american
citizen?
exactly how long have you lived here &
what positive outcome can such tyrannical assertions
produce?
