Good analysis.

Specter really needed to be replaced my Toomey. He is all RINO, except when he comes out and throws us a bone once in a while. We need a real conservative in Pennsylvania

[JohnBrowdie]

thank God that he is up for re-election soon. I am sure that he wanted to support card-check, as well as EFCA, but couldn't be his RINO self and carry what few conservatives still exist in PA.

not to denigrate the conservatives that are stuck in PA, by any means ;)

Thanks so mouch neverdem, Your post puts into perspective a very frightfull thought. Ther are those that would seem only to challange or be all for it. I feel I must qualify or quantify that which is reconcillable. A person that stands up for themselves - is that the corrct weapon? A person armed with the WW2 Bor, or some other Weapony type thing?

Spector knows he is hanging by a very thin thread after his treacherous act with the Stimulus Bill.

Unions = Terrorist Organizations

Also known as card check, the legislation would effectively abolish secret ballots in unionization elections. It provides that once a majority of employees had filled out sign-up cards circulated by union organizers, the employer would have to recognize and bargain with the union. And if the two sides didn't reach agreement in a short term, federal arbitrators would impose one. Wages, fringe benefits, and work rules would all be imposed by the federal government. It's not difficult to see why union leaders want this. Union membership has fallen from more than 30 percent of the private-sector workforce in the 1950s to about 8 percent today.

Thanks neverdem.

Can someone please explain why the idea of holding elections for union representation without a secret ballot is called “card check”?
