the point is, were not discussing wither or not the threats were credible, were comment on the fact that McDonalds attempted to threaten their employees to make them vote republican. Even if what they say is an empty threat, it's still a threat.

No it's you who is splitting hairs. They didn't threaten anyone. What they said was a simple statement of fact.

If the right people are elected, we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above the current levels. If others are elected, we will not.

Basically: "If Obamacare is not repealed then it will be financially impossible for the company to maintain it's current compensation levels" - Simple statement of fact.
If you can disprove this somehow then go ahead and make your case. Otherwise I see it as a company doing it's employees a favor by appraising them of the true situation while they still have a chance to at least help do something to stop it.
Let me tell you from personal experience that it is a far better thing than a company telling it's employees "not to worry, everything is just fine" then suddenly lowering the boom without warning. If Obamacare comes on line you are going to see this happen, a lot. But the Democrats do not want you to think about that right now. They want your vote.
This all reminds me of Dukakis claiming during his presidential bid that the "Massachusetts Miracle" was still running at full steam when he
knew it was failing. He was willing to ignore the truth in his attempt to get elected. He wanted our votes too. Remember that.
