On the Tom and Todd show this morning (WRKO AM680), Bill Hudak (Republican candidate for Mass. Sixth Congressional Dist., North Shore) called in with a great anecdote on the Brown-Coakley debate last night.
He said that the union guys were out in force outside the building with big 4' x 8' Coakley signs. As Scott Brown arrived at the building, he went over and greeted the guys. Hudak overheard them tell Brown, "We're voting for you. We just got paid $50 to hold the signs."
When Coakley arrived, in typical arrogant liberal style, she walked right by the guys holding her signs without a word of acknowledgement.
May the best man win.

Saw the same thing at a Tea Party against Chris Dodd back last fall. At 5:30 the union clowns on the other side of the street started leaving. Guess they were off the clock. The Tea Party OTOH was just getting revved up as folks were getting out of work.
Great story!
I always voted conservative as a union member too.
1) MA already has mandatory health insurance. Coakley is largely running on the platform that she can give voters something which they already have. If you like socialized medicine, she isn't offering anything you don't already have. If you don't like socialized medicine, she is clearly not your friend.
2) Union folks have better health care deals than what Obama is offering. She is going to take away something that the unions fought for, and give them a crap sandwich in return.
3) Large local firms (ex. Boston Scientific) do not stand to gain from Obama's Health Care plan. It's bad for their business and the employees and their families are likely to vote Brown. Health care is a big industry in MA and Obama's plan is hardly a win-win for a lot of those folks.
There is no reason for Democrats to be enthusiastic about this choice.
Why Union rank and file workers should vote for Scott Brown over Martha Coakley:
- Personal and family security (Obama will protect no American from Muslim terrorist attack)
- Job Security (Obama killing the USA economy & your job along with it!!!)
- Freedom to organize and negotiate (Obama is like all socialists. He use labor unions until he gets total power and then he controls your every move)
- Obama and your union leaders are everything you folks are not
- You are surrending your freedom and choice by supporting Obama and Coakley.
- You guys are are American Patriots. Obama and Coakley are not!!!
- Obama cuts deals with big drug companies and big banks and financial companies at your expense. Obama’s deal with Pharma has caused the cost for drugs for you and your families to go sky high with Obama’s blessing. The very banks and financial groups that caused many of our economic problems for us small folks are handing out mega bonuses. Where’s your bonus labor?
- And....the main reason, labor dudes & gals, you now get the distinction to join others who supported Obama and are now getting the short end of the stick. All these things I quoted herein took place a bit of time back in Germany!!! Beware labor, you time is measured with these socialists and communists!!!
Add to 2) The better deals the unions have are going to get taxed by Obama and the Dems.
*ping*
And you know what the kick in the b*lls to the Unions/Rats is? The unions cut Steve Lynch (a card carrying memebr of the Iron Workers Union, BTW) off at the legs because he was basically against ObamaCare and backed Croakley.
Lynch is the most “moderate” of the MA Congressional delegation; he would have won this seat easily.
