Sad how people do not go beyond cheap rhetoric. Here is a question, if unionists were all alike, then why were union members key to Reagans victory in 1980? Why did Bush get over 40% of union members vote last year?
Like it or not, a large number of union members have helped bring issues such as 2nd amendmnets rights and the abortion issue to the political forefront, because these are issues they deeply care about, so much for your theory that they all are alike.
I was mainly referring to the unions in which most members are left wingers like the NEA and the AFT and the UAW and a few others like AFCSME.
I realize that many union members are conservative (I know a few) but it is up to them to stand up and force the issue of union corruption (they are cowards). Dues must not be used for political exploitation. They are now and 99% of them go to the Dems and worse. The members must work for reform or abolition of unionism.
You are confusing unions with union members. No one is saying all union memebers are bad, just that all unions are bad. Many people are forced to belong to unions - that does not make those people bad.
Which Unions (not individual members, union leadership) back the 2nd ammendment? I mean really back it by opposing people like Kerry, Clinton, etc.? I only remember unions trying to convince their members that Kerry was pro-gun.
