While what you say is true, if they block this it makes a great campaign ad for 2012. Unions aren’t that popular with the general public.

Oh, I am all for the House passing this legislation, I was just responding to the bit in the title that said (Will Obama Sign it?). Obama will never see this legislation, even if there were a majority in the Senate to pass it. Reid just won't allow it to even come up.

My advice to Boeing is to keep this bottled up in the courts for at leat another 16 months. Help is on the way...

I knew you would be OK with it passing. I was just pointing out that even though it has no chance of passing, it does put the RATS on the hook for doing something that isn't popular with voters.

Any major piece of legislation that will be good for the country, whether it is this one, cut-cap-and-balance or the repeal of Obamacare ( all of which originated in the House ), will NEVER make it past Senate with the current Democratic majority that we have there.

That is why 2012 is a crucial election year. If we want to take this country back from the socialists, we ought to make sure that both the legislature and the executive branch are once again totally controlled by conservatives.

This also goes for the Judicial Branch. We are in a precarious position where the swing vote is decided by one man -— Justice Kennedy ( and it will depend on which side of the bed he happens to wake up on in the morning ).

If (God forbid ) something ever happens to Kennedy or the conservative justices before November 2012, this country will be screwed for a generation.

The GOP had its chance early this century when they controlled both Congress and the Presidency, THEY BLEW IT. I hope this is a chance to start all over again, this time, with REAL CONSERVATIVES.
