This week the AFL-CIO threw its considerable weight behind Democrat-turned-independent Greg Orman in his bid for U.S. Senate in Kansas. This came on the heels of a debate that was all about defining who Greg Orman really is:

The AFL-CIO won't run TV ads for Orman, spokesman Jeff Hauser said, but his campaign will now be incorporated into the union's extensive ground game there.

The unions, of course, have a well known history of supporting true Independents, free of any influence from the Democrat Party and union leadership.

If a church were to engage in partisan politics it would be threatened with loss of its tax exempt status. Why does this not apply to labor unions?
Normally, “independents” are just liberals who are too embarrassed to admit it.
