Video of Obama, coal bankruptcy
Drudge has link to audio....
When I was in the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfitters, every union meeting before the election the Business Manager would stand up on the stage and glare at the membership and say “we know how you voted and we will make you pay” in a effort to scare the membership in to toeing the line...Never worked on me and I stood up and told them so!
I worked a union shop for 35 years and the a**hats leaders always tried to get us to vote for the Democrat, since we were in the lumber industry and lived mostly in the country, we always voted for the conservative(in my early years some Dems were conservative). Most workers have a mind of their own, some buy the BS, most don't. I know we fought hard to keep the jerks from using our funds to promote the dem candidate and to keep them from trying to speak for us. Union members don't necessarily agree with union leadership.
Who the hell do they think they are?
All-seeing God?
Thugs!
Coal, oil, natural gas and the YOU TUBE: Biden: evil corn syrup.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TTfCE1QfYg corn syrup producers will be hit hard. Job losses, soup lines...drip, drip pretty soon you have a Hoover style depression.
Good to hear.
Hubby was always p*ssed that his union dues were going to support candidates he despised.
I think the UMWA is about gone any way.

November surprise...just too bad it came out on a Saturday and not 2 weeks ago when early voting began.
They might want to take another look at Michigan and the auto industry to buy a clue.
Except there is NO early voting in Pennsylvania. Hopefully this bites him in the hind end.
yes. They just deliver the money.
That will change if Obama card check becomes law and does away with secret ballots in the workplace. More union workplaces, more power to corrupt union bosses and more Democratic officials receiving worker money.
