10 million dollars later, Blanche Lincoln's win is is a big loss for "Card Check"
The Collins Report ^ | 6/18/2010 | Kevin "Coach" Clollins

Isn’t it so satisfying to see a schoolyard bully get knocked flat on his back?

Last week’s Arkansas Democrat Senatorial primary gave us just that image to savor. The Big Labor thugs and criminals took it on the chin and their attempt to bully and blackmail Blanche Lincoln failed. The sin Lincoln had committed is her failure to back Labor’s scheme to use the power of the federal government to force unwilling workers to join unions through all but rigged voting without benefit of the secret ballot.

We won the showdown

Lincoln is an opponent of the deceptively named Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), known commonly as Card Check, and because of her position, the anti union Coalition for Arkansas Jobs (CAJ) supported her with television ads seen throughout Arkansas. Her opponent was “evasive about his position” which was code language for “I support it.”

The head to head primary run off became a perfect test of who carries the biggest stick, the unions trying to subvert American freedoms or those fighting to preserve them. The union thugs spent $10 million trying to beat Lincoln as a lesson to all other Democrats who dare to stray from the script and fail to unflinchingly support the scheme.

Now the worse possible outcome for the unions and the best possible outcome for America have been realized and form a perfect spider’s web tying up Big Labor.

Lincoln won by a mere 52/48 margin. This means: A) Lincoln has no mandate B) the unions are “Timid Lions” not the big bad wolf C) $10 million that could have been much...

Please, Arkansas- elect the conservative, not Blanche Lincoln. This article is deceptive- she opposes this maybe, maybe not, but she HAS voted for obamacare which trumps all else- she loves SEIU, AFSCME, govt. jobs... classic Arkansas dem machine pol. And, DUMB? you can’t believe.

Arkansas still has a RIGHT TO WORK law. You cannot be forced to join a union to have a job.

Labor is going to see to it that Lincoln goes down to a crushing, totally humiliating defeat. Whether this involves fielding a third “Workers Party” candidate, sabotaging her from within, or quietly supporting the Republican, they are gonna send a message to the Dem heirarchy by turning her into roadkill.

“Arkansas still has a RIGHT TO WORK law. You cannot be forced to join a union to have a job.” True right up until the union thugs get enough Marxists on board to pass Card Check. This is why this election was such a big win for us!
