Buying their voter army.....the beat goes on. And where do you think many “stimulus” dollars are going to end up PRIOR to November??? Of both 2010 and 2012....
union scum alert!
PAC’s and the influence they buy (which causes politicians to pass legislation that benefits the PAC, not necessarily what benefits America) is one of the biggest challenges we face.
On a similar note, have you seen this Reason TV video (more like a high quality short movie) that details how public employee unions have bankrupted California?
It’s extremely well done, entertaining and infuriating.

So this public union mess is JFK’s fault? Why hasn’t a Republican President reversed this?
It’s also most “interesting” to note that the 7 PACs in the top 20 which give significant amounts to Rs are all fairly balanced i.e., about 50-50 or 60-40, but the 13 top PACs which are union-driven give in the range of 90-99% to the ‘rats because of course they know who will best protect their “special interests” to the death..... oh, I forgot, unions and liberal PACs and NGOs etc. can’t be “special interests” b/c they are raised on the pure milk of the public interest.... just think of all those altruistic union officials......
