The full audio of the call is 28 minutes and liberals are all aflutter over the remark by Romney below:
I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections. And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope — I hope you pass those along to your employees. Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I think that will figure into their election decision, their voting decision and of course doing that with your family and your kids as well.

Elections have consequences and business owners have been stating very clearly that under Obama, with his regulatory policies and tax proposals, they will not expand, grow nor hire.
In fact according to a poll conducted by Public Opinion Strategies (POS), who surveyed 800 small business owners, manufacturers and decision-makers at small and medium-sized companies, 55 percent say the national economy is in a worse position compared to three years ago. Among the chief factors survey respondents cited were federal regulations, taxes, government spending and the cost of health insurance and energy.
Key survey findings include the following:
- 67 percent say there is too much uncertainty in the market today to expand, grow or hire new workers.
- 69 percent of small business owners and manufacturers say President Obama’s Executive Branch and regulatory policies have hurt American small businesses and manufacturers.
- 55 percent say they would not start a business today given what they know now and in the current environment.
- 54 percent say other countries like China and India are more supportive of their small businesses and manufacturers than the United States.
Obama's been bad for business.
Nothing wrong with business owners warning their employees of potential disaster of another four years of Obama in the White House as long as they do not ask who those employees voted for after they vote and take action against them for voting one way or another.
