That black power symbol with the Islamic crescent it a pretty cool union logo.
Edwards and the Clintons despise the underclass: far, far beneath them; easily and shamelessly lied to and manipulated.
Tag. You’re it!

There is such a contrast from when her hair is “done” and when it isn’t. She really needs her stylist to help her look more refreshed. She needs all the help she can get, when it comes to her appearance. That may sound catty, but when I look at Laura Bush, I see an attractive woman who is taking care of herself.
....and the crowd started chanting, "U!S!S!A...U!S!S!A!...U!S!S!A!...
I agree, Hillary has a few years on the First Lady, I think,, Hillary’s birthday is 10/26/1947 which means she will be 61 when she runs for President.
All she has are Obama and Purty Boy to paddle to get there.. only a Gore could derail a Clinton at this point, imo, not a pretty sight but ya never know.
Everything I ever wanted to know about “labor” unions I learned from Jimmy Hoffa, George Meaney, and my dad.
In 1952, was an Italian immigrant making coolie wages in a union sweatshop. That year, Dwight Eisenhower was running against Harry Truman for President of the United States.
The union my dad worked for sent the shop steward around to collect for Truman’s campaign.
My dad was a Democrat, but this time he wanted to vote for Eisenhower, so he told the union steward that he wasn’t going to contribute to a campaign he wasn’t going to vote for.
The shop steward was so unhappy with my dad’s response, that he pulled my dad’s union card, effectively firing him.
My dad went without work for months, but he became a solid Republican and started a business with the help of a Jewish guy. I don’t think he ever voted Democrat after that.
I remember when I was about 14, in 1960 or 1961, and Gov. John Volpe (R) of Massachusetts came on the radio to tell us that he had to introduce a “temporary” 3% sales tax to balance the Commonwealth’s budget.
My dad said, “There’s no such thing as a temporary tax.”
He was right.
The “temporary” Massachusetts sales tax is at 5% today, almost 50 years later.

If you think I'm wrong, go find a meat packer and ask how their wages are going.
I’m still amazed at how Clinton forced NAFTA down Labor’s throat and they hated him. Then, in ‘96, they backed him for reelection.
There are a lot of political whores in this world.
....and what is the largest, most powerful union in the country? Why, it is the government employee’s union. God help us all!

“....Your assessment that Congress created the Transportation Security Administration without union rights “so the agency would have the flexibility to deal quickly with changing terror threats” is misguided. In fact, collective bargaining rights have never impeded national security....”
Saying it, does not make it true.
