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?
