She calls on the union members to become a solidity with taxpayers and share the pain of the economic problems instead of making it worse. And you call that riding the fence.
She says plainly that the union leadership cares nothing for their concerns and would rather see 10-12,000 of them laid off then give up their perks and you call that riding the fence.
She says stikes and protests are not the way and are turning the American people against them. she warns that they are being used to further the ends of the union bosses and you call that riding the fence.
Sometimes the antipalin people are blind to commonsense.
That's where I differ with Palin. I don't want the "rank & file" to do anything but go away, forever.
We aren't talking about the members making their leaders do anything. We - Scott Walker et. al - are talking about doing away with the collective bargaining rights of public unions, and making those heavy-union states "right-to-work" states.
Where does Palin come down in this fight? I haven't a clue, and I suspect she doesn't either. While real governors like Walker are fighting the good fight, Palin is playing grab-ass with her "union brothers & sisters". It's pathetic.
No public unions. No public union membership. No public union leadership. It's that simple.
