A little encouragement to intimidate voters, Mitt Romney ?

Originally shared by Nicholas Vilppu

Let's add voter intimidation to the list of Romney's accomplishments. He is really grasping at straws here now, but is it sad that I am not surprised but this?

The mind boggles!
That is so improper, manipulative and insulting.

Koch brothers have already sent their intimidation letters to all their employees.

I trust citizens will do what their conscience dictates.
Whichever way they vote.

Unfortunately, conscience is often twisted (or at least squeezed painfully) when your employer is trying to dictate something to you.

I thought the point of secret ballots was to prevent intimidation as a tactic. Am I missing something?

Secret ballots are an attempt to address intimidation (among other things), but that doesn't stop people attempting to intimidate anyway.

Correct and in states like Idaho, employees have had issues with parking at work, and the bumper stickers they have on their vehicles.  In some smaller areas, conversations have even come up regarding political signs they have in their yard at home.  Intimidation is alive and well in MANY places - sad but true.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
