And before the fly swatter Freeper brigade starts in that this is old data blah, blah, blah and how we have already lost or that Romney is no good, do us a favor and stay home, don't vote. We have more than enough heavy lifters to get Romney over the finish line.
but their dues goes to Democrats
Wonder how impressed the union members would be with the Down Low Club.
The union members I used to know wouldn’t be too impressed.
We’ll need 80% of their votes this Nov, if we’re to rid of that POS 0bummer, and offset the illegal/dead/multiple voters.
Good news.
Someone else said that union members can tell their bosses they will vote one way to avoid harassment, but behind the curtain, vote Republican.
And the ratio was probably somewhat higher in 2010. The voters were ANGRY with how the Democrat majorities in the House and Senate just rubber-stamped the agenda flowing from the Current Regime in the White Hut.
That anger has not abated, no matter WHAT the “conventional wisdom” says. Sure, the turnout is being touted as being “in favor” of retention of this corrupt bunch of bandits. We may still end up with a corrupt bunch of bandits, but it stands a very good chance of being a quite different bunch, and there is a short period during which the replacements may be counted upon to actually effect some change.
With luck, the change could even turn out to be positive.
I strongly favor Keystone and am gladly voting against Obama, but I base my decisions on reality, and "500,000 union jobs" from Keystone simply is not credible. Here is what the American Petroleum Institute says:
Approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, now in its fourth year of review, could also create 20,000 construction jobs over the life of the project. Projects like this, along with additional investment in oil sands development in Canada and expansion of pipelines and refineries in the U.S. make it possible to realize an additional 500,000 U.S. jobs in 2035.
I’d be very interested to see this broken down by type of union - most people in unions today are in public employee unions, not steelworkers, electricians, etc. And public employee union members (SEIU etc) have somewhat of a vested interest in keeping the $$ flowing
Some of them are smart enough to realize this.
Dues go to Rats, but you can bet your behind that pretty much all of the union in Fairbanks is voting for Romney. These guys still have to pay the bills like the rest of us!
The GOP will get my vote, so there’s another one.
