Interesting how Meo has been in a union and he never saw it happen.

You mean to seriously tell me that you've never seen a union endorse a candidate?

You're deliberately confusing the issue. A union endorsement is not the same thing as this situation.

If my employer told me who to vote for (either way) using threats, I'd tell them to blow it out their behind. It's none of their business.

That's your right. It's their right to speak their mond, too.

Said the guy at court who was sued for rape: "I did not coerce or demand her to get naked and lie down with me when showing her that knife of mine. Nobody can prove that I meant that knife to be a threat to her. I only suggested to her that lying down with me is an option available to her. It's a free country and I just spoke my mind. She then got undressed all by herself, I never told her to do so."

Translates into: "I did not coerce or demand employees of mine to not vote for that wrong party but for the right one, when waving with their paycheques in my hand and telling them they may face financial cuts if they don't do the "right" thing. I only suggested to them that they are free to make that choice of marking their ballots where I want them to mark them. I just spoke my mind."

Some of you guys just erect a smoke screen. You could as well argue that advertisement is not meant to make people stay with or try a given brand, and that all that money is wasted just for fun, with no return in use and effect.

Your rape analogy (talk about smoke screens, sheesh!) just does not jibe with the fact that McDonalds (the "rapist") has absolutely no way of determining whether their employees (the rape victims) are complying with the "suggestion".

Your use of such an innacurate and incendiary analogy like rape just illustrates how weak your argument really is.
