***if the world goes to hell in a short 2 years, i would think even the most die hard Democrat might have to concede that maybe “they” made a mistake and that the Republicans were probably right.***

Problem is, dims are incapable of admitting mistakes. (Which explains why they keep making the same ones over and over.)

As for the world “going to hell in a short 2 years”...
I saw a great bumper sticker:

“Don’t make me come down there.” GOD

I will close down if anyone here tries to unionize. I had a SOB a few years back that was trying to organize and I downsized his job. No more union talk here. He sued, I won. I love right to work states:-)

I haven’t seen any leadership talking or holding press conferences on the Republican side at all to address this issue. The closest so far on any issue is the Congressman from Alabama who jumped in there on the Youth Civilian Corp thing. If no one speaks up, there is no one protesting or stating the opinion of the Republican party and they may as well fade away at that point. And are the fillibuster members ready to do their thing? Even if they lose, they need to be protesting so American knows they exist and they need to speak up.

Card Check is the dem solution to the Big Three auto makers. First, you pass the bailout to keep them in business for a couple of years. Then you pass card check which allows the UAW to organize Honda, Toyota, Nissan and bring in the same UAW contracts. There, the playing field is level and the problem is solved.

If our current crop of Republicans had a single pair among them, they’d point lots of things out. As it is, they’ll whine, then roll over. These are dark, dark days in Amerika.

I wish I had a Republican to encourage!! In NM we went from 3 of 5 to 0 of 5 in Congress, mainly due to the circular firing squad in the primary last June. We lost the conservative second district candidate who tried to replace the retiring moderate Senator Pete Domenici. The national party gave up the seat early in realization that a very conservative candidate can't win in a heavily Democratic Hispanic state. Given it was a Democratic year we probably would have lost the seat anyway, but we didn't have to lose the second district if the two candidates hadn't beat each other to a pulp in the primary. Unfortunately, I don't see us gaining any of these back soon.

Offshore Options? Go to GOOGLE key in Outsourcing Nightmares you will get approximately 245,000 results.

The problem with outsourcing work offshore is that, as so many have found out, you usually wind up outsourcing control along with the work.

I agree, but if the world goes to hell in a short 2 years, i would think even the most die hard Democrat might have to concede that maybe “they” made a mistake and that the Republicans were probably right.
Wishful thinking.

If things get worse, and don't turn around in two years, there will be two things that the Dems and their media propaganda wing will push. The talking points will be:

The propaganda ministry (mainstream media) has too much invested in Obama and the Dems to let them fail. There will be no accountability for either. No matter how long it goes on, and no matter how bad it gets, it will all be George Bush and his friends, the Republican's fault.

Kinda eager to take up arms against your fellow Americans, aren’t you?

This is a tought one for me. Yeah a lot of these idiots who voted for 0bama don’t know what’s good for them, but are they really so stupid as to try to organize in such a way that their company will have to shut down? Seems like the unions realize they’re going to have to make sacrifices like everyone else. But what do I know? I love my right to work state.

The real hope is to get ads out that explain this to the American people. They don’t know!

If they find out they’re going to expand the same unions that brought GM to it’s knees, I don’t think it will pass. Meanwhile, if necessary filibuster.

I would think that small businesses would foot the bill to get this out there.

Of course they’ll try that, but it is questionable whether they’ll get away with it.

Personnel Employement Organizations (PEOs) are growing quite rapidly. You lease your employees to yourself from an agency. The agency handles all the paperwork, benefits, etc. It is expensive. However, unionization would cost more.

This would be a bonanza for them.

In this advanced, matured, developed, sophisticated world economy, it’s a liability if you don’t take care of your employees to a certain degree, so unions just aren’t necessary like they were when the industrial economy was primitive and bosses exploited their employees as much as they could

Well when I said “they” I wasn’t referring to the Democrat “elite” like Pelosi, Reid and the other cast of misfits (they have long been considered off their rocker and not able to be rehabilitated). I was referring to the average Democrat idiot that voted for Obama. I would think even a few of them will see through the MSM smokescreen as being BS. Then again as others have said here maybe I am too optimistic, or even that I am delusional to think such a thing could happen.

Another option to avoid the union thugs, after automating every 'job function' one could, is to make all the 'employees', self-employed contractors. You give them a One Year Contract for $x.xx dollars, payable in installments and then THEY'RE responsible for everything. At the end of the year they get a 1099 and they're on their own.

They handle their own insurance, FICA, and Fed and State Taxes - which gets itemized on their 1040 and Schedule C come April 15 (or quarterly installment payments to the IRS if applicable).

We have a life-long friend who was a glorified receptionist / book keeper for an Auto Dealer and this is how she was 'employed' for years. So this concept isn't new.

Will be interesting when the price of food increases 20% in those parts of the country where supermarket employees have not previously been unionized. That is the premium I have estimated we are paying at the unionized stores.

Unionization affects EVERYONE.

The dumb masses won't know the difference and it will be blamed on "greedy" capitalists who want to cut costs and expand profits. That's how socialism works and the workers will blame not the ones that initiated the policy but rather on the capitalist class. Welcome to the workers paradise.

Well, we all knew this experiment wasn't going to last long. Wait until they start looking for external enemies to go to war against and lame everything on.
