I just heard Ed Schultz say that the republicans are trying to defund the progressive movement at appx. 09:13 PM CST 2/24/11.
Yep the democrats are scared that their gravy train is about to go away.
Wow! What a towering intellect! All of those years that Special Ed spent on the short bus are finally paying off.
New Hampshire House Passes Right-to-Work Measure, Governor Promises Veto
On Tuesday afternoon, the GOP-led House in New Hampshire voted 221-131 to make the Granite State the 23rd state in the nation to outlaw unions ability to have workers fired for not paying union dues. The bill to make New Hampshire a Right-to-Work state now moves to the New Hampshire Senate where Republicans enjoy a 19-5 majority. However, before the bill become law it must be signed by the Democratic Governor, John Lynch, who has said he would veto it.
According to Republican Steve Vaillancourt, overriding Democrat Lynchs expected veto is possible, but it may be difficult:
House Bill 474, better known as the Right To Work bill (relative to freedom of choice on whether to join a labor union), will pass the New Hampshire House overwhelmingly this week (either late Tuesday or early Wednesday), but the number to watch is 31.
Thats the number of Republicans who could vote against the bill, and it would still survive Governor John Lynchs promised veto when it comes back later in the spring.
Heres how it works, and these numbers are based on all Reps being present for a given vote (something that never happens, of course). With Republican in control 297-102, if 31 Republicans joined all Democrats in voting against the bill, the margin would be 266-133, exactly enough to override a veto. Bearing in mind that Tuesdays vote was 221-131, according to Vaillancourts comments above, overriding a gubernatorial veto is readily within the GOPs grasp.
Yeah no crap...and I can’t wait for all the investigations...into these criminals.
If Mr. Ed (Lard A$$) Schultz speaks does anyone hear it?
Might be the first time (and only time) ever that I’ll say this: I hope idiot Ed Schultz is right.
It kills me to say Ed Schultz is right for once.
As you know TN has reaped many a jobs from bloated union ideology. The folks here in the mid-state have been quite prosperous. The salaries are just as good as anywhere if you have the background for it.

So he’s admitting that the Democrats used the government to fund the progressive movement?
This is the first time I’ve ever agreed with Fatboy.
17-18 States depending on the outcome in NH to go, and work on eliminating the Unions from the Federal Government, defunding those departments with bureaucracies filled to the brim with entrenched Socialist participants, and we are on our way to a much better future.
Thanks Rome 2000 for your response.
We certainly HOPE so. Dare I say Pray!
What can we say? Broken clock syndrome.
We’re defunding the progrssive movement?
Oh Gawd, I’m shocked! /S
I would hope so.
