So perfect yet so wrong.

When it was all over, a total of 34 Republican lawmakers from Michigan had cast votes on these legislative battlefields, and just one voted on the side of the labor unions to protect PLAs: Congressman Thad McCotter, R-Livonia.

From his wiki:

McCotter is a member of both the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership and the conservative Republican Study Committee.

In May 2007, House Minority Leader John Boehner labeled a bill by House Democrats aimed at stopping energy price gouging "as pointless political pandering."[1] McCotter and 55 other Republicans voted for the bill.

Big Labor bosses seeking protection from non-union competition on government construction jobs...

Corruption. Sure does sound sleazy and unAmerican to me.
