It’s a classic movie plot. Think “Woman of the Year,” with Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. At first the man and the woman hate each other, then they fall into each other’s arms? Well, feature the fight that has erupted between the president of the AFL-CIO, Richard Trumka, and Governor Palin of Alaska.
The leader of Big Labor went to Anchorage to give a speech and attacked Mrs. Palin, accusing her of doing everything from writing notes on her hands to coming out with conspiracy theories about President Obama and his “death panels” to getting close to calling for violence. “Sometimes — about Sarah Palin — you’ve just got to laugh,” Mr. Trumka said. “ . . . But it’s not really funny.”
Mrs. Palin turned around and gave as good as she got, or better, in one of her patented Facebook postings, a demarche headlined “Union Brothers and Sisters, Join Our Commonsense Cause!” She wrote as a one-time card-carrying sister of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and United Steelworkers, cards she held by virtue of her husband’s membership in the two unions.
She asserted that it was “kind of ironic that a union boss has the gall to accuse anyone of threatening violence,” particularly in light of what she called the “violent attempts” by the Service Employees “to intimidate those who wanted to make their voices heard in last year’s town halls.”
She argued the real jobs problem was being caused by the policies of President Obama. Suddenly the Internet came alive like the silver screen, so much so that a columnist of the Washington Post, E.J. Dionne, issued a long complaint.
Seems that Mr. Trumka can’t get anyone to listen to, let alone write about, his usual speeches about what Mr. Dionne characterizes as “social CONTINUE

The Union hierarchy has the DemonRATs (yes they should be called that) as their lap boys sucking the private sector dry for its tax revenue. This squeeze of the private sector is to fund union pension funds and union boss bank accounts. This is a formula for a collapse of the system.
When the available money drains out of the private sector into the public sector, it takes money away from those wealth producers who grow the economy. This economic climate guarantees that more people are employed. Also, when government spends less and borrows less to pay for its deficits, more money is in the private sector to create economic growth. To the benefit of the public sector is it is proven economics that when you reduce taxes, tax revenue increases. Ronald Reagon brought that theory to proven fact in the 1980s. The Republican Party, after some wobbling, is finally on board with that fact.
When union members realize that the DemonRAT policy as we have seen it, is cutting their own throat, they will realize that it is absolutely necessary that they vote for change in November.
How about you. Do you prefer a$$hole before or after your name?
Michelle Bachmann will likely have a prominent position in the Palin Administration.
It’s unfortunate that you’re so incapable of appreciating either of them.
.
ROFL. Compare the percentage of my posts in the last year “representing” Hunter versus the percentage that your cabal spends swooning over Precious.
Come to think of it, I wonder where my checks from DeMint and King and Rounds and Bachmann are?
As is "Representative," you poor, hopelessly overmatched little foundling, you. Go ahead, look it up, by all means. ROTFLMAO!!!
(Seriously, Mister Representative: you can do better. Call me.)
Having cultists call me an ahole is a badge of honor.
I’d like to see Bachmann as someone’s VP. Sarah can stick to her TV camping trips with Kate plus 8.
You know it's bad if it's too nutty for Paul!
Boy, are you folks gonna be sorry if she gets elected.
The disillusionment will be legendary.
After all that has happened in recent years, you folks are going to support a female RINO?
If I wanted to aid the hard left and Islam, this is exactly who I would support and vote for.
We’ve had one novelty POTUS (to soothe your white guilt), can we take a pause before moving to another novelty POTUS?
Can we work on stabilizing our country, which is in critical condition, if you haven’t noticed.
Mrs. Palin will not be able to do what is necessary to restore our government, period.
But, hey, she’s hot and a female, right? That alone deserves your votes, right?
From black to female—well done! Voting skin pigment and sex organs will save the country, for sure!
LOL “Woman of the Year”.
Tongue in cheek I know, but very apt and prescient of the NYS Editorial Board.

She’s probably the only one with the balls to fix the country. Who do you suggest, Romney? Sheesh.
Enjoy, you've had a grand day living up to your poster screen name.
Yeah...that's why people support her...sure...
does the term "misogyny" mean anything to you?
zot
Thanks Jim.
Ditto. ;)
