Big deal this is the IBEW, now if the interior decorators union says no benefits, then I would be shocked.

Can the D's survive their internal contradictions?

No. At the moment, they do not have a message. They can only sell themselves as being anti-Bush: there's no reason to vote for them, so they invent reasons not to vote for Bush.

Their best hope is to make new supporters by underhanded means. Thus, they support illegal immigrants. They discourage ideological diversity in academics to the point of brainwashing our youth.

This is the first shot of the REAL war: will you, (say) Christian employer, be forced by the state to pay for an employee's HIV positive ill spouse's medical bennies?

If that's the case ER visits will be up retrieving wicked and waxed rectums.

Guess this means hugh protests at the DNC convention.

All companies have the choice of the benefit packages they offer. But if gay marriage is legalized and employers MUST treat it equally, then the only recourse is to raise the cost of spousal coverage across the board.

Ah, and another wedge issue. Huzzah! Here's hoping that they go for the unions.

Eww... I can't believe I just said that.

Humor is as necessary as salt. If a person can't laugh, they're hopeless!
