Retire Colors
Recess
I used to work for GM. Can’t believe there’s such a dweeb representing.
On second thought, I used to see the union take the side of those who would rather shirk than put in a hard day’s work - why the plant I used to work in is now a golf course.
Bob King saying he is SO PROUD to be the president of the UAW.
Yeah, with his salary and bennies he is a bonafide member of the 1%.
Now, three former members of Bain companies to stick the shiv in Mitt’s back.
I wouldn't want these people working for me.
I worked for Chrysler Defense but they were non union.
While I get why unions came to be in the first place, the idea that to work in an industry, you HAVE to join a union who you pay dues to with no say as to how they spend it and all the crooks who have embezzled said money over the years...
It’s just in-American, unpatriotic, wrong and just.....WRONG!
Wow, three losers—you would think they were the only displaced workers in the 1990s—oh, wait a minute—that was the years of the Clinton economic miracle—WTH? /s
Debbie WS not showing up for and/or cancelling interviews with local media:
Democratic National Committee chiefs Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patrick Gaspard cancelled interviews with local media outlets tonight, amid controversy surrounding the party’s decision to reintroduce “God” and “Jerusalem” to the platform…
Blair Miller of WSOC TV, ABC’s Charlotte, N.C., affiliate, also tweeted that Wasserman Schultz cancelled her interview with him, without explanation. “After my Romney intv today, we were planning to interview @DWSTweets live,” he wrote. “However, she did not show up. Her staff not answering calls.”
That was one of the main problems at my old plant. So many showing up, or getting, stoned on the job. Not hard to understand how quality declined. Management was no better. It was more important to meet fake quotas than take pride in quality workmanship.
Dang! Cowboys 7, Giants 3
So were these workers going to cling on to the companies till the last penny was gone. Geez!
That’s so wrong...
It makes me I’ll to think this is thought to be OK.
That’s the union mentality!
Sorry to drop off - I’m getting sleepy. Have to get up early tomorrow.
I’ll have to catch up on DVR.
Have a good night!
Gnight.
Obamas deficit reduction plan looks like its 35 pages long LOL
Chris Van Hollen from MD on now—lying about the debt/deficit/budget plans.
Holds up a deficit reduction plan from Obama—you know, the one NO ONE IN CONGRESS VOTED FOR INCLUDING ZERO DEMOCRATS!
Good Lord, these folks live in an alternative universe!
The speakers tonight are real snoozers!
She should have called Romney. He could have pressed that suit for her.
That convention hall is dead. No enthusiasm like earlier in the night.
