I did not key in on that, and I think you’re probably right on target there. Good call.

I’ve either been looking out my window or have been outside all day today and I have not seen one pig fly by.

Rule One-democrats lie
Rule Two-democrats believe killing babies is a right
Rule Three-don’t ever forget rules one and two

Perhaps they’ll stop the facade and join directly with the Communist Party. The Dems are very left wing and have a large percentage of their members who are card carrying Socialists but I don’t think the Dems are quite ready yet to completely support the Communist Party. Perhaps the Unions are.

Do you happen to know what percentage of the vote these guys claim to control as opposed to the votes they actually control? If I were a union person, I would be suffering some severe disenchantment at this point.

The word is that Trumka meets with the Zero on a daily basis.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is just some kind of BS tactic to pull his employees(politicians) in line.

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.

A link would be quite useful here.
Yes, I'm series, too!

If unions follow through trying to start up a third-party it's an attempt to recreate a Perot-type populist revolt and take anti-Obama votes from the Republicans, giving Obama the edge he needs to win in 2012.

This is a scam.

“He’s going to give a speech in a couple of weeks on job creation,” Trumka told reporters. “If he’s talking about another percent or two break from a tax here and doing something with patent control, and doing three years down the road something with infrastructure bank, that’s not going to get the job done.”

Obama can’t because it’s too expensive. And by too expensive, I mean it would require such a large diversion of people’s time towards giving other people work to do that is not needed everyone would be worse off than before.

The progressive mindset requires that they take the natural relationships between people and enforce a structure on them.

Here’s one link: http://marty4650-spincycle.blogspot.com/2011/07/communist-party-usa-endorses-barack.html

Basically, the CPUSA has not run a presidential candidate since 1984 and has endorsed the democrat candidate in every election saying that he’s “close enough”.

This is all about mandatory dues deductions.

I'm inclined to agree. Simply electing Democrats isn't getting the job done. Electing Democrats who have to deliver on this issue or else, might. This isn't about fleeing to the Republican party, it's about power within the one they figure they already own.
