Romney to coal miners, "You've got a great boss". Attendance at Romney event was mandatory .

Mine was shut down and workers were docked a day's pay.

"Moore told Blomquist that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend."


What. the. fuck.???

1. Murray Industries

well isn't that a nice fucking way to start the day.

Of course no one was forced to attend and no one was bothered if they didn't. It's way too early to do any bothering anyway.

This company is one that needs the kind of deregulation a rmoney administration would bring. One where the kids would be underground working at minimum wage or less to the company store.

that guy, what was his name? Don Blankenship or something, he's a work of art.

2. I hope this shows them that Rmoney is a fake

This is such crap. Most of these people live paycheck to paycheck (as most of us do). One day is horrible to lose for anyone.

3. They weren't smiling.

In the group shot of Willard with the miners that I saw, most of them looked pretty grim. Way to go, Mitt.
