I think between now and Inauguration Day, 2013, we’re going to see “scorched earth” like we’ve never seen before.
Ah, perhaps unions will gain respect.
To loathe, dispise, and (figuratively, of course) spit upon the Obamadork is a sign of ingelligence and taste.
What percent of the UNEMPLOYED voters are union members?...............
If enough union members swap to offset the number of Christians and other pro-life who will sit out the election featuring two pro-death candidates, this might be the oddest electoral map in a long time.
re: Two new and disturbing polls just out .....
“Disturbing” polls? Another class example of media bias. Only Democrats & Leftist would be “disturbed” by the data from these polls. If the article had been referring to a Republican it would never have use the word.
I am betting that at LEAST 10% (maybe up to 25%) of those union members are lying to the pollsters out of fear.
I have a friend whose dad is a union member. She says he is TOLD where to go and protest, and who to vote for...but in his heart, and in his voting booth, he is a conservative.
I am betting there are a lot more like my friend’s dad.
What is disturbing about that - the POS should never be in OUR WH to begin with. If the Repubs had a backbone, Barry and his minions would be in jail along with high fines.
Sorta makes you wish the GOP had nominated a decent candidate, doesn’t it?
“disturbing” ??——Is that the new “unexpected”? and to Whom?

The union members who have abandoned Obama have taken their union politics to the Republican side of the aisle. The union members have not changed their agenda, they just think that they have a better chance of protecting the union label through the GOP by emphasizing exports and the need for infrastructure improvements to ports, railroads, roads and bridges which will create union jobs.
The problem is that it is not any different than Obama’s plan to spend more money. Watch for these union Republicans to start pushing for federal money for RR, ports and bridges in Congress. The Democrats in the Senate have already added the spending to the Senate version of the transportation bill, now they have to work on the House. They are doing it through the Republican Party.

They all oppose him for different reasons.
Coal miners and energy workers because he is literally killing off their jobs with the EPA.
Public Employees because his failure to go to Wisconsin and put everything into defeating Scott Walker means life will now become a steady diet of concessions and givebacks.
SEIU because he did not implement single payer healthcare and massive direct redistribution of the wealth.
Many others because he did not come to their financial rescue by implementing Card Check.
About the only ones he can count on are UAW, since he absolutely bailed their arses out with taxpayer money.
12% of employed voters ... who are bankrupting cities all across the country.
This company was unionized, at least in its non-engineering areas. Pretty much every day, my path to my car at the end of the day took me through the shipping department; there was a bulletin board there with all kinds of union material posted. If it was late (meaning after 4:00 or so) the place would be deserted, and once in a while I'd stop for a minute or two and read the papers posted there. Just curious, I guess. It was the Teamsters union, and I wondered "what does the Teamsters union tell its members on a public bulletin board?"
Anyway, one day I noticed a letter there. It was on Teamsters letterhead. The contents of the letter really surprised me. The letter advised members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters that they should think about voting for Ronald Reagan. My recollection is that this was in the summer of 1980, and that the letter was not exactly an official endorsement of Mr. Reagan. Instead, it spoke positively of Mr. Reagan's qualifications, explained why he would be good for the country and for the Teamsters, and - I think - at the end stated that the person who was writing the letter was planning to vote for Ronald Reagan in the November elections.
I suppose the reason it was not an actual endorsement might have been because the letter didn't come from the national headquarters of the union, but came from some more local official. I don't know about that for sure, obviously.
I stood there and read the letter over at least twice, thinking "wow, this is really amazing, could be big."
I admit I've told this story before here at FR.
I question the impact of this drop off of union support would have on the election. Union membership is concentrated in populus blue states and the defections would not be sufficient to overcome the overwhelming Democrat majorities.
They have no where else to go.
