A quote I’ve seen re McCotter and card check complete with his reasoning...

Manny Lopez/ The Michigan View.com
U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter told me Friday his vote for union payoff legislation was a mistake and that if he were going to vote on “card check” legislation again, he would vote no

“It was all because of Wisconsin,” he said in reference to what prompted him to change his mind about supporting legislation that would allow unions to forgo that pesky little detail called democracy (card check allows unions to be established in a work place with signatures on cards instead of secret ballot elections). “As a Federalist, what happened in Wisconsin made me realize that EFCA (the Employee Free Choice Act) was something that should be decided on the state level.”

Thanks. That almost makes it worse. He thinks it’s OK if it’s passed at the state level?

I can’t imagine how any decent politician could think for one minute that Card Check was something to vote for: Depriving workers of the right to a secret ballot!

That doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand. It’s only possible purpose is to give dictatorial power to the union bosses.
