Democrats and Unions are one and the same.

Unions take dues for political influence and they get government jobs.

California is run by mob, er, union bosses, who are the kingmakers in this state, Trumka, Stern and the rest of the thugs gave Obie millions last time.

They got repaid by a trillion dollar stimulus, an aggressive Labor Relations Board, open border/Hilda Solis actively recruiting illegal Mexicans for union employment, requirements to prefer unions in Government jobs and the biggest bailout of all, the UAW/GM/Chrysler debacle.

They are now planning to steal more elections with the help of their Communist comrades at the ACLU, NOW, La Raza and Sierra Club.

Yep. The RINO fools Boehner, McConnell et. al., have given him trillions to pay off the unions and his buddies. Now they’re starting to go to work on re-electing that devil. This is SO sickening.

Look for card-check to get crammed in the back door somehow in the next 90-100 days. That’s what they demanded in exchange for providing foot soldiers for his campaign.

I’m sure Ozero was hammering out the final details of his promise to the AFL-CIO that they will be among the lucky beneficiaries of the the new stimulus “infrastructure bank” he talked about in his address to the nation today. Never in my memory have we been so screwed with so much advance warning.

0’s “victory” speech today was all about getting another stimulus bill for “construction workers.”

I thought it was pretty weird timing.

Now I know why.

For 0, every move, every statement is calculated through the lens of 2012.

I don’t think anyone was “fooled”. I think most of the GOP is now out in the open accomplices.

I bet the Wisconsin Recall elections will weigh heavily in these talks.

I didn’t say anyone was fooled. I called them fools! That’s a big difference.

And just what is the next union industry (like GM) does the great one want to take away from the legitimate stock o=holders and turn over to the unions for votes?
