Biggest Labor Union Throws Support Behind "Independent" Greg Orman ( Kansas )

This week the AFL-CIO threw its considerable weight behind Democrat-turned-independent Greg Orman in his bid for U.S. Senate in Kansas. This came on the heels of a debate that was all about defining who Greg Orman really is:

...

The AFL-CIO won't run TV ads for Orman, spokesman Jeff Hauser said, but his campaign will now be incorporated into the union's extensive ground game there. The AFL-CIO had previously endorsed Kansas's Democratic Party's gubernatorial nominee, Paul Davis, who is locked into one of the country's most competitive gubernatorial contests with incumbent Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

During Wednesday's debate, incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts repeatedly stressed that while Greg Orman may have an (I) next to his name, he also has the support of the major left-wing movement. Billionaire left-wing political activist George Soros has been involved in funding the Orman campaign. Michael Bloomberg and other prominent left-wing billionaires have chipped in to support Orman.

The unions, of course, have a well known history of supporting true Independents, free of any influence from the Democrat Party and union leadership.

If a church were to engage in partisan politics it would be threatened with loss of its tax exempt status. Why does this not apply to labor unions?

Normally, “independents” are just liberals who are too embarrassed to admit it.

Like this is any surprise. I have a feeling that the Soros family support for Orman is a game changer here in Kansas. You are not an independent if you have Soros support. Pat Roberts needs to put out a commercial with all the hard left support for Orman.
