The rank and file of the unions need to confront their “leaders” and ask why they are being sold out.
If he voted “no” because his constitutents told him to, he and they might all take a look at the Tea Party of principled people
The democrats talk like losing an AFL-CIO endorsement and NOT having zerO campaign for them is a bad thing! LOL! Tell all those retired school teachers and senior citizens (and their families) in Lehigh and Dauphin that historic obamacare solved their problems, especially when MEDICARE cuts kick in after 1 October
Maybe he’d sooner have Senator Scott Brown campaign for him, than obama.
Grin. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. It smells like . . . victory.
Well, because the unions backed this ‘revolutionary’ bill, many of us will do our utmost to avoid buying anything made by union labor.
Holden is the rep for our district. Whoever gets the Democratic nomination will face Republican Dave Argall in November.
When the union realizes that voting no was a good thing for american workers including the workers who are in these few unions, then it will be too late. By then the black market with its underground labor force will have taken over as a means to avoid the shakedown transfer of wealth tax intended to kill small business growth as a means for obama to bribe union voters with free viagra for life without pre existing conditions.
The unions have shot themselves in the foot, because what legitimate union business is going to survive competing with under the table operations that are going to spring up around the country just as they have done in places like Los Angeles who can hire illegal immigrants and pay no taxes and provide no benefits at one third the costs?
It might be a good thing for these candidates that the union is NOT endorsing them, because although the unions are blinded by their greed and can’t see the train wreck ahead, an overwhelming majority of the public, including most moderates and a growing number of democrats can see the train wreck this health care bill will have on jobs and the economy unless the runaway obama express can be stopped in it tracks! An non endorsement may mean this guy has a better chance of being elected!
This is why so many Rats voted against the express wishes and interest of their constituents. They threat from their Union bosses was explicit.
Democrats can’t win an election without union thuggery, so most took the less risky path of voting for 0bamacare, hoping union thuggery could stem the tide against them in November. They weighed their odds and came to the conclusion that their chances for reelection with the help of union goons was slim, but it was nonexistant with the union bosses against them.
This is what was going on behind the scenes of the 0bamacare debate.
