This is a great issue to slam and corner the Democrats when discussing around the watercooler. The ILWA has been claiming that since it was a lockout by the evil port owners, all they want to do is get back to work. So now Bush is granting their wishes. Yet watch how the Dems howl about Bush being anti-union. Further, the Dems are crying about Bush not paying attention to the economy, and the media has been running stories of how the strike is impacting the economy and causing layoffs. So the Dems are once again arguing both sides of the issue, heads Bush loses, tails Bush loses.

Now point out how this is just another example of Dems being hypocrites and politicizing the issue. Note that it is just like what they did with Iraq, where they demanded that Bush consult with Congress, go to the UN, and provide more proof, and now that he has, they complain that he is dragging this out to politicize it. But instead it is the Dems who are politicizing both issues, playing either side of the coin.

The ILWA are domestic terrorists who are putting their own personal agenda above the national economy. Tom Daschle is nothing more than a paid lobbyist for the unions. Daschle has the power to end this slow down and lock out, but he hasn't chosen to do that because he wants to keep the union votes in his lock box.

Without even blinking.

Which work schedule is that; the 100% work that they're SUPPOSED to be doing or the 40% work that they had been doing while collecting their 100% paycheck with no fear of termination?
