The Irony is, of course, these are the very same addle-brained idiots, who berate McCain for having ties to Special Interests and Lobbyists.

While all that may be true, why do they continue to fill the coffers of the liberals?

I’d rather be paid cash for my vote. Perhaps $500? I’ll take prepaid credit cards too.

We are being paid with this ridiculous tax rebate.

Many union workers voted for George Bush over both Kerry and Gore. They are Americans first, Union second (or third of fourth).

Doug on May 5, 2008 at 11:59 AM

Yeah, not in Chicago, they aren’t. They are union thugs first, last, and forever, and they vote as if the candidate is a union steward.

“Unions” are not an entity with a single mind, no matter how much their ‘leaders’ claim support. Many union workers vote Republican, because they love their country, and mistrust the hard Left Democrats. Many union workers voted for George Bush over both Kerry and Gore. They are Americans first, Union second (or third of fourth).

There is a difference between union workers and the leaders. The leaders have the power and money, the union workers have the votes. However, the union workers hardly ever fail not to follow the leaders suggestion (at least the majority), because it is couched as, if you vote differently you will lose a job. Not unlike the government workers. My parents were “staunch” republicans, but voted democrat because they worked for the Calif. state.
As they say “follow the money” and the union leaders have the money, and a lot of it, along with a huge amount of power. Your one or two votes mean nothing compared to tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions.
Here is a snippet to show you can move dem union to Republican union, regarding Pataki. By just a few promises those “union” workers would have done the same to his opponent.

With legislative deals worth billions of dollars to raise worker salaries, the governor cemented his relationships with the two most politically powerful labor groups, 1199/S.E.I.U., the health care workers union, and the United Federation of Teachers. He won the endorsements of those and other unions, giving him access to thousands of foot soldiers in the city who ordinarily would be in the Democratic camp.

The health workers union sent more than a million pieces of mail to its members urging a vote for Mr. Pataki, and on Election Day it had 4,000 volunteers on its get-out-the-vote effort and 80 people calling voters from dawn to dusk.

Sorry to say, your husbands and friends conservative union votes mean almost nothing…their money goes to the liberals.

This is “judgment”?

Corruption?

Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama…

how dare you question the messiah I bet your sitting there clinging to god and guns you racist you :D

Exactly. My husband is a teamster. Before that, he was in the steelworkers union. He has always held union jobs. But he, and everyone one he works with at his current job, vote Republican. Every single one. He doesn’t think of himself as first and foremost a union worker. He is a husband and father working a good paying job to support his family, and puts God and country first.

When asked whether the city’s outright ban on handguns was constitutional, the constitutional lawyer refused to take a position, claiming he had not read the briefs.

Actually, as I recall, he sputtered out in a rather confused excuse, that he hadn’t “heard” the briefs; most folks read briefs, but apparently the messiah listens to them, or in this case, doesn’t listen to them…

You have to love the Dems.

Sen. Barack Obama’s “new politics” takes another hit. The Wall Street Journal reports the Illinois Senator got the Teamsters endorsement in exchange for getting rid of the union’s federal oversight board:
Neither Sen. Obama nor …

- The Cat

He was approached by a man who had been eyeing him who said approximately:

“You look like you could break some legs. How would you like a job?”

The China Syndrome Candidate…

Its just a question of if the Dean part of the party can get his nomination locked in before the meltdown hits a critical point.
