Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) asked Tuesday if the White House had an "enemies list" in light of the National Labor Relations Board's complaint against Boeing for moving some of its operations to South Carolina.
The complaint stems from Boeing's decision to move some of its production line for the Dreamliner jet to the right-to-work state to avoid the work stoppages that have hampered the company in the state of Washington. The labor board contends that the move is retaliation against unionized workers, while Boeing says it is a business decision designed to keep production running smoothly.
Speaking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with several other GOP lawmakers and business lobbyists, Paul implied that President Obama was playing politics, since the complaint could see Boeing move jobs out of South Carolina.
"I have a question for the president. Mr. President, do you have an enemies list? Is this decision based on the fact that South Carolina appears to be a Republican state, has two Republican senators? Is this decision based on the fact that South Carolina is a right-to-work state? Are they on your enemies list?" Paul said.
The freshman senator also mentioned a draft executive order under consideration by the White House that would have government contractors disclose their political contributions.
"Will you now punish contractors who have given money to Republican candidates?" Paul asked.
Paul rattled off several other states, including Kentucky, Alabama and Texas, that he said could fall under the administration's cross-hairs for voting Republican in the last election.
"Are we going to use the whole power and bully nature of government to say that business cannot be located in a state that might happen to vote Republican?" Paul said. "I find this appalling and I respectfully ask the president to immediately rescind this assault on business."
Anybody with experience wouldn't need to ask the question.
At the very least maybe his comment will bring some attention to a story nobody will talk about at all.
Yes, but there's only one name on it:
AMERICA!
I’d have to imagine that Paul understood it was a rhetorical question.
Let’s see:
Texas,
Arizona,
Virginia,
...
Indiana, Utah...
Jesus Christ.
Rahm Emmanuel was the Poster Child for Enemies Lists.
What do you think?
LOL
FileGate 2.5 Clintonista
Hussein doesn’t NEED to keep a list. He just attacks them RIGHT AWAY!!!
I’ve said for quite some time that we conservatives need our own “enemies list”-——enemies being those who work, speak,act, finance, or otherwise work against the long term stability of the United States of America and its constitution. The list should constain the names of the traitorous bungwads and a one-sentence description of their action that qualifies them for the list. The list should be in a more or less Wikipedia format so that anyone can submit and anyone can argue for or against the listing. Proof of worthiness would usually be whether the listee admits or denies his accused position.-———there I’ve said it-—now I have to go rest my head.
Exactly. Bring them to their knees. It should start with all things Hollywood.
BTW, I visit a musicians' site (cello) and read the most leftist anti-corporate ranting imaginable, stuff that comes right out of the Communist Manifesto. I'd defund NEA and tell the bastards to take their rantings and use it to drum up more corporate sponsorship. Flipping morons.
One reason why I call his daddy “Wrong Paul” is that I believe Rand is the one that should be running for the nomination for the GOP.
Fixed.
Uh, check the Electoral map, unfortunately vote fraud cost the former's streak in 2008...
Obama’s enemy list:
Red States
Registered Republicans
Business owners
Tea Partiers.
Louisiana....
Maybe Boeing should decide to move the corp HQ out of chicago.
Start a list. Knock it around. The planner in me would like to also see a list of who has already been successfully fisked on the Left and how it was accomplished: Rather stupid, the ACORN grifters, the NPR twins, the Ohio Bobo stooge canned for illegally searching State of Ohio db’s for Joe the Plumber...
