Minnesota Ping.....
In Duluth ASFME cut out the middle man and put an ASFME employee on the city councel. (She got beat in the last election though)
>> AFSCME said Coleman didn’t respond to an invitation to meet with screeners for a possible endorsement.
Hyeah, right. Like union pukes would ever pick anyone but the dimocrap candidate...
I don’t blame him for not wasting his time. Besides, what conservative (or even CINO) /wants/ an endorsement from the piggies that slop at the government trough?
Reason enough to move from Minn.
Franken no doubt has the little yellow school bus union wrapped up as well ...
Another reason why public employees never should have been allowed to organize. Supporting an idiot like Stewart Smalley just proves how stupid they are.....
The other members of the host committee included noted anti-war activist Sean Penn (and wife Robin Wright Penn); noted pro-marijuana activist, Woody Harrelson; noted hottie Edward Norton; and noted lesbians Melissa and Tammy Etheridge.
Surprise, surprise! AFSCME is the most socialist of the unions, with the possible exception of the NEA. It can’t come as any great shock that they’re going to support a sniveling, myopic, liver-lipped greaseball like Al Frankensteen. Did anyone think they’d back the conservative? (Not that Norm Coleman is any great shakes, mind you.)
Big surprise. Union support.
