With Hispanics and labor moving off the plantation, blacks may be the only ones remaining in servitude.
The thought process of union leaders takes one into an alternate universe.
Vote for the AFL-CIO party, Vote Trumka 2012!
I actually read that THREE times on Politoc..just to see if I coudl actually make ANY sense of what Trumka was saying...I can’t...it’s incomprehensible...I mean, like, where are the gonna go now..they have ZERO leverage..other than just stay home and sit on their wallets...which, if his polling numbers continue to worsen, they may just decide to do...
That will be the day.
Well, they already have the CPUSA, but if they want to build another failing party so be it. I say go for it. Anything to split the democrat vote is fine with me. But keep in mind, it'll be mostly the graveyard and illegals vote they get (outside of their core)...
Third party threat, the Labor party, to Obama, unless he delivers.... more.
They must have spent billions of dollars getting Obama elected. The health care nuts got their dream. EPA nuts got theirs...Unions didn’t get their card check disaster passed and now they’re taking their ball and going home.
This is the best news I’ve heard all week. Obama is TOAST without the unions.
Let me translate: Instead of spending money on liberals who do nothing for us, we will spend the money on ourselves so union leaders can live even more lavish lives of luxury on the backs of their members!
Where are thugs like Trumka gonna go ?
Well said. They’re just trying to push Baraq even farther left (is that possible?).
translation: communist trumka is going to set up a pac that will support dems in order to protect auto deduction of union dues.
I think this is just a shot across the rat’s bow - deliver for us or else. The unions effectively have no where else to go.
We are so much better off if that’s what happens. Without union money - and associated support - Obama’s got serious problems in key states (PA comes to mind).
I call BS! This is about “The 0ne” having such a big ego that he believes that it’s the Unions that everyone is mad at not him so he has told them to go out and distence themselves.
Promises, promises. Don’t believe a word of it.
The unions were especially angry that Charlotte was picked as the convention site since it’s in a right to work state, and there are no union hotels there. They wanted it in St. Louis instead, but even here the movement is losing steam. A recent organizing attempt at a local manufacturer failed to garner even a quarter of the vote.
Translation: Trumka thinks that 2012 is going to be a debacle for Dems, and sees no reason to toss union money into losing races. You can only get goodies from candidates who win.
They will never ditch the Dems.
