    This guy would trip over his own ass if he turned around too fast. And he is going to go toe-to-toe with Obama? I don't think so. He can't go more than a few days without saying something stupid and senseless.

    Fire whom? Romney draws flak on eve of NH primary
    NASHUA, N.H. — Republican front-runner Mitt Romney stumbled down the homestretch of the New Hampshire primary on Monday, declaring, "I like being able to fire people who provide services to me" as his rivals intensified already fierce criticism.
    "Gov. Romney enjoys firing people. I enjoy creating jobs," said former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who has staked his candidacy on a strong showing in Tuesday's primary and has shown signs of gaining ground in recent polls.
    Adding insult to any injury, Texas Gov. Rick Perry posted a ringtone to his campaign website that consisted of Romney saying, "I like being able to fire people," over and over.
    Romney is the odds-on favorite in New Hampshire, and Huntsman as well as other Republicans who are contesting the state have generally been content to vie for second place in hopes of emerging as his main rival in the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21.

    What is wrong with liking the freedom to let people go if they are not performing to your satisfaction? We can all see how well tenure serves the educational system.

    Having been in a mgmt position, I can assure you no one enjoys firing people and no successful mgr is going to fire people for sport. I think this issue with Romney is just a lame attempt to smear him.

    Part of the reason the capitalism works is because it can rid itself of the dead wood (or change it) and become more productive. Without that self capability, you have someone with alternative motives (political?) deciding which company/business should succeed. How is Solyndra working for you? How about Fisker?

    No the media are the ones who reported what was said in the way it is portrayed here so please do not start another thread of name calling
    Moen is simply quoting what the rest of the world media is saying and they have it wrong but it makes for good headlines

    I know exactly the context and what Romney actually meant. Why should I care if the party that routinely uses quotes out of context to slander people gets slandered by the same tactic? Seems like they sort of deserve it. By the way, all of his fellow Cons are doing exactly the same thing. Heck, Perry is using Romney's words as his ringtone. So I guess all I can say is live by the sword, die by the sword. :D

    Well, it's good to know how closely you align yourself with Perry, FOX & Breitbart. We'll have to remember that the next time you take issue with something they say or do...HYPOCRITE

    You "suckered me"? Really? I hope that helps your ego because to everyone else you just come across as pathetic.

    It just amazes me how you know what "everyone" thinks. Now who has the issue with his ego? I would never pretend to know what anyone else thinks. You of course need the imaginary support for your opinions. RW'ers are so insecure.

    If being a mental invalid were an art, you'd be Picasso. You just refuse to stop making a fool of yourself. That is why I ignore you so much. You simply have no ability to make logical comments. None of the things you ever use as quotes seem to have any relation to the current conversation. I know that you won't listen but you should know that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

    You have now made 20 consecutive posts without a single line being on topic and every one throwing insults at someone. If your tap to the liberal talking points has dried up, why don't you dry up with them. I expect your frequent insults, but there has to be something else in you mind.
