You didn't know Obama and the liberals lied about miners being forced to attend the Romney event.
You may be eager to dismiss anything they do, but I hope others aren't. I hope there are still some people with a sense of right and wrong on this board, even if yours is eliminated in the fog of political warfare.
I guess you can take solace in not being the only one.
Wait, so everyone is just believing the miners who showed up to the presser? I know it was a lot of them, but they all seemed to have a huge hard on for Mitt and gladly went to his function, mandatory or not. The CFO of this mining company (the CEO is a huge Mitt donor and fundraiser and climate change denier by the way, which means he is batshit) said the following:
"Our managers communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend". Aside from making zero sense, it certainly sounds like some of the workers had reason to believe attendance was mandatory, because, well, they were told attendance was mandatory. He also admitted that no one was paid that day.
It sounds to me like 1 out of 10 miners may not have wanted to go, some of whom were told it was mandatory, and they either went or did not go and they were not paid, and were, reasonably, pissed that they lost a day of wages because their CEO wants Mitt Romney to be President. I think folks with a proper sense of right and wrong might argue that what the company did that day was wrong.
All of this coming at a time when we know CEOs of companies are telling their employees that many of them will be fired if they vote for Obama -- and we're shocked by this?
