This puts the AFL-CIO into a position where the creation of a third party is not just a theoretical possibility, but perhaps a likely outcome.

I'm not quite sure it would be legal but let them blow more money on it.

The CPUSA has stated that there is no need for them to run a presidential candidate - the democrats have that covered.

Yes, I’m series - they officially stated that.

They are seeing their power being stripped away. In states where the unions iron grip is being broken, the economy is growing.

A few more states and who knows.

Everywhere mandated contributions for elections are overturned, contributions drop 80/90 pct.

Where are they going when they leave the democrats?

To the Communist Party USA (CPUSA)?

Or isn’t that far enough to the left for them either?

I may be wrong, but it’s my take the their power is being stripped in Republican controlled states. Subsequent to that, we (and they) are seeing the economies favorably impacted. You are right. A few more states and who knows?

Yes, everywhere mandated contributions for elections are struck down, said contributions drop by 80 to 90%.

In light of this Trumpka wants us to believe that with-holding support for the Democrats, the only viable alternative to the Republicans, makes sense to him?

It’s my premise that you and I both know different.

Yep, they are not going to vote NOBAMA 2012. That's why them and the Whiteyhut fought so hard to keep the Visitors List secret showing just how often trumkamonkey came by.

By the way, where does the unions find such Neanderthal looking thugs for big shots? They must be watching too many old gangster movies.

this is a fake move.

They are just going to funnel money into their PAC and still support democrats. This is to fake “independence.”

This is all about mandatory dues deductions.

it is the lifeblood of the unions.

no kidding...can you imagine millions of dollars of the lemming union workers money going to a realistic, honest, truly progressive party....I think not. They will continue to blindly follow their "leaders" right down the porcelain convenience. Their blind allegiance to the group that has taken them and the black community down the tubes boggles the mind....come to think of it, when you receive monies taken from groups by force....I guess you can build yourself an empire and enjoy life......right union/demo bosses?????
