AFL-CIO Union Chief Pledges 12 Million Workers to Van Jones Progressive Tea Party

Well, according to AFL-CIO president Rich Trumka, only the American “labor movement” is all about the “real” American Dream. I guess that means the rest of us haven’t got a clue.

Opening with Van Jones’ “American Dream” mantra, Trumka announced his pledge of 12 million union laborers and their families to support Van Jones’ “Rebuild the Dream” movement.

Trumka then goes on to explain that the real American Dream is not about a few of us having a lot, but about all of us having a “fair portion.”

“The American Dream is not that a few of us will get to be rich, but that all of us will have a fair portion of the good things in life.” Trumka’s announcement coincides with the launch of a Van Jones co-sponsored MoveOn.org campaign titled “Rebuild the Dream.” The Blaze recently reported on the campaign and its new catch-phrase already catching on among leftists like Howard Dean. The movement, which accuses the “slash and burn” GOP of “killing the American dream,” has positioned itself as the left’s answer to the Tea Party.

During Rebuild the Dream’s launch event Thursday, Jones exclaimed to a crowd of followers that “America is not broke” — even encouraging the audience to chant the phrase in unison — and claimed those who suggest otherwise, are “lying.” He also accused people — presumably Tea Party members – who “hate on America’s government“ and ”wreck America’s infrastructure” — of being unpatriotic.

Lie to pollsters. Don’t put up yard signs. Don’t put on bumperstickers. Make the enemy fail in guessing the size of your army.

And have your precinct clerks under-report results to the AP.

That miracle in WI actually worked, and we need to expand upon it.

RATS learn from their mistakes, do not give them ANY advantage.

Trumka can promise Jones the moon and the stars, it doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. The fact is that many union folk don’t go along with the union leadership when it comes to politics.

We better be ready to fight these vultures...

Why?? The Dems have nothing to offer. A liberal "Tea Party" will be like liberal "talk radio" - a complete and total failure.

When we contrast the real Tea Party versus the GOP, there is a perceptible difference. What will the difference be between the Dem Party and a "Tea Party" for the Dem Party led by the likes of Van Jones???
