I agree. The Democrats fled the state and refused to deal with the realities of the massive overspending that tanked our states and federal government. It is now crystal clear the Democrats have their head in the sand.

Yes, it defined Democrats as looters and moochers.

I think this battle DEFINED the Democrats in ways he may not want to have to accept.

The article mentions SEIU-organized union solidarity rallies. I looked for news of them and they barely registered a blip. Yay for our bigger and better side!

He said the skirmish has also put Republicans firmly among the opponents of the labor movement.

Porky the Communist got that one right...

'We hate collective bargaining and we will do everything we can to destroy it and working people,'”

Hey,Trumka, you smelly socks communist! What does collective bargaining have to do with working people who pay taxes? Nothing, you *sshole...

“When you look at from 30,000 feet down, it is definitely a well-put together strategy by the Republicans to kill or to sap the strength of all progressive groups,” Trumka said. “This is just isn’t against labor.”

Chubby little pecker isn't completely wrong here...

I get some of these union bosses mixed up...is Trumpka the one making $520,000 per year or was it $640,000.

I think the NEA Boss is the one making $640k.
