D is for DRAG and R is for RACE...

LOL! That was my understanding in my younger days too.

I know of no one who uses secret ballots for anything. This Kenyan maggot wants all kinds of secrecy for himself as far as birth certificates and releasing college grades and transcripts. But no secrecy for union members who defy tyrannical unions

If the ditch the President so eloguently refers to means the ditch that had 5% unemployment, my household income 30% higher than it is today, my savings rate thousands of dollars ahead of what it is today, my financial future much more secure than it is today, my current and future medical care more secure than it is today, then d*mn it, I prefer the ditch that was, not the abyss his policies are forcing me into today!

Most of the time when you find yourself in a ditch, it’s because of something that happened when in D, you almost always use R to get out, and if that doesn’t work you call a Tow truck, as in T (or TEA).

Wow am I smart. Can I be president now?

What will be next? After he scams the unions into giving up a secret ballot why not all of us voters?

I can see the New Black Panther party looking over our shoulders as we mark our ballot.

There is no way, other than major brain surgery, that I could lower my IQ to the level of a union slug willing to give up a secret ballot.

It is obvious that communists will do anything to further communism.

Interesting that most union workers are in the public sector and not the private sector these days. It’s obvious now that the biggest bailouts are for government workers and school teachers.

elections are rigged anyway so card check is nothing more than a means to ID the union's enemy. Anonymity in any voting booth in this country is a sacred right. Any politician who favors card check ought to be impeached first then tarred and feathered.

“It took us nearly a decade to dig ourselves into the hole that we’re in,” the president said told union leaders.

Hmmm, eight years would be "nearly a decade" -- AHA! It is all Bush's fault.
