Walesa , who led trade union strikes in Poland in the early 1980s, managed to bring about needed economic and political change for laborers without resorting to violence.

Hmmm..., why would a “community organizer” and a “union organizer” be campaigning for a Republican candidate?

Can we doctor up Lech Walesa’s BC to document that he was born on American soil so he can run for US President?

Lech is a REAL man deserving of respect. This is someone Obama SHOULD bow to.

Same for here in Pittsburgh. We even have a part of town called “Polish Hill”.
And we have a real life conservative running against Spector. Hey Lech, Come to the Burgh and stump for Toomey. He aint Polish, but he knows what he is doing.
