Gigolos, unionize NOW!

No more exploitation at the hands (or whatnot) of rich widows!

Right, Kerry's a friend of the working man...I know I might irritate some folks on this site, but I'm closer to Pat Buchanan than George W. Bush when it comes to trade. We've got to protect our own; I really don't care if workers in Indonesia need jobs. This is a tough world, and if we don't take care of American workers, who will?

He want the support of EXISTING UNIONS.
Where is his list of workers that "need a Union"?

Security Guards {rent-a-cops} work horrible hours with No "shift differential" & must stay over until relieved, or be fired.

Pizza Drivers MUST NOT carry anything for "self defense". Yet 46 States allow "Conceiled Carry". The fictional Libertarian President in the novel "HOPE" wouldn't order Pizza Delivery from companies that ban armed drivers. {I like that idea}.

IF kerry want to help the little guy, WHERE is he on Arming "pizza drivers", cabbies, pilots, passengers, etc.

We don't need a president who just says, 'Gentlemen, start your engines.'...." Mr. Kerry said.

Is Kerry capable of coming up with his own words? What would he say on the campaign trail if he couldn't quote the President?

Kerry is a hate-filled loser.
