SEIU Tells Democrats Pass Healthcare or You're on Your Own in 2010
The Lid/The Hill ^ | 1/22/09 | The Lid

The SEIU is so much more than just the union partner of ACORN. They are among the President's top advisers. When the White House released its first "visitors list" the most frequent visitor was the head of the ACORN affiliated Union the SEIU Andrew Stern who showed up on the visitors roster twenty times.

The SEIU is closely tied to the Democratic Party. In fact, the union spent much of the summer acting as the President's personal thugs. When they began the congressional town halls were loud but they were never violent, that is until the SEIU got involved. but once the Democrats began urge the SEIU to confront the opponents of Obamacare, that all changed. It started with the indecent in Saint Louis, where Kenneth Gladney was attacked by members of the SEIU. Then there was the rally in Thousand Oaks California were we learned never say bite me to an Obama thug as a 65 year old man had his finger bitten off.

But now the President's "purple shirts" are not happy that Congress seems to be retreating from the Healthcare battle. Andy Stern has threatened the party if Obamacare doesn't happen, the Union may spend the 2010 mid-term elections sitting on their hands.

In other words, SEIU doesn’t give a crap about most others that don’t want this reform.

I suggest they sit on something else and rotate. This is what happens when you get in bed with thugs for power.

Direct quote from the SEIU bylaws.

We must organize unorganized Healthcare workers, extending to them the gains of unionism while securing control over the Healthcare industry.

The SEIU wants control of healthcare period.

I suspect they want total control of the prisons, police, government employees, teachers and eventually industrial unions.

Stern and his SEIU thugs are just Obama’s mouthpiece. He's using them to whip ‘Rat votes in Congress because he knows there are a lot of ‘Rats jumping ship. They can read the meaning of the VA, NJ, and MA elections. This is classic Rahm Emanuel arm-twisting thuggery. When in comes time to vote, they're going to back ‘Rats no matter what happens on health care.
