Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma believes that card check is one of the BIGGEST THREATS to Tribal Sovereignty:

Now a past Democratic Presidential nominee agrees.

The LAZINESS of Unions hurts them, and America

There are a lot of things over the years wherein I haven’t agreed with McGovern, but I’ve always felt he was an honorable man and one rarely, if ever, untrue to the core beliefs of our country’s founding. He’s again shown that I am not wrong in that opinion. He’s not only a benefit to our continuing national conversation but also a worthy opponent.

George McGovern was a nobody yesterday, and is a nobody today.

.
I disagree. McGovern was a bomber pilot over Europe in WWII, I think pulling a double tour. I don’t question his patriotism. Sure, he lost a presidential election by one of the worst EV margins ever, but he didn’t change his policies daily per the latest polls to try and make his numbers look better. He has some very strange politics, and I disagree with him 99% of the time, but at least I can respect him, unlike some other dem presidential candidates that spring to mind.

I question the timing.

Has McGovern had just about enough of hearing people call Obama “McGovern without the patriotism”? Maybe he’s just reminding those too young to remember that he was a liberal, not a leftist like this socialist douche.

Heh.

Who is an enthusiastic co-sponsor of this legislation? Isn’t it Barry Obama? Or is it his “Patriot Corporations Act” where one indication of a coroporation’s “patriotism” is whether it will submit itself to card check unionization?

McGovern sees a huge, glaring problem for Barry O, and he’s ttrying to give him and the party a heads up.

This is a dramatic demonstration that “Murphy’s Law” has a good side:

“You can’t be wrong 100% of the time no matter how hard you try”

(you’ll always foul up and do the right thing sometimes)

For 25+ years I was a member of the NEA and they helped me out a couple of times in disputes with administration about sick leave and such. I willingly joined back then. But if a Union cannot prove itself useful enough to its membership that it has to resort to tacit co-ercion to keep members, then it has outlived its usefulness and negated its reason to exist. It sounds as if this has happened.

Has it occurred to anyone else that he is seeking consistency for his party? How can dems oppose secret ballots for union elections, and at the same time oppose ID checks for congressional elections?

If you are 18 and not a liberal, you have no heart.

If you are 30 and not a Conservative, you have no brain.

Just took McGovern a bit longer to develop a brain.

Maturity brings wisdom. I guess that it is refreshing to realize that sometimes people do become adults.

The National Education Association (NEA) has played the PAC shakedown for years. Dues money towards it and state education associations might as well go directly to Democrat coffers. Your hair would curl if you would read the amendments included at their conventions. They contort and distort all issues into ones relating to education.

They also use members’ names to distribute campaign literature for Leftist causes and groups, DNC talking points, and Democrat candidates. (How do I know? By how my mail was addressed. Just a little adjustment in your name reveals quite a bit about who has sold your name.)

On some domestic issues, McGovern has strayed from his leftist positions that he took in his 1972 presidential campaign. But on one issue, McGovern has gotten even worse. On the MiddleEast, McGovern has taken a far left position that is not any different from Michael Moore or Ken Livingston. McGovern is fanatically antiIsrael, even claiming that most immigrants from Russia who came to Israel want to return to Russia. He actually claimed that most immigrants who came to Israel from Russia realized what a bad place Israel is. If McGovern is right about his claim, all of those immigrants are free to return to Russia. Most have not. Life in a new country is never a bed of roses for immigrants. But McGovern was willing to use the common difficulties of being an immigrant as a tool of antiIsrael propaganda.
What McGovern really resented about Israel is that Israel refuses to be a pacifist country that submits to its enemies. On foreign policy, McGovern remains an apostle of Neville Chamberlain.

Voting is an immense privilege.

Hey, thanks for the privilege, I think though that I'll stick with our Constitutional voting rights, thanks anyway.

but those consequences seem obvious and redound to the benefit of the party — at the expense of workers, freedom, and the nation. It’s a sell-out

SOP liberals.

During the eighties, my company was at a trade show in a union town. We had a package delivered to the convention center. We went down stairs to get the package and was told that the package would have to be unloaded by a union member. Once the package was unloaded, the guy unloading it gave it to another guy to take it to the elevator, who gave it to another guy to take it up the elevator, who gave it to another guy to take to our display. It cost us sixty five dollars.

I was a union member a long time ago. Pay was solely determined by years of service. Productivity wasn’t a factor. The senior guys typically did nothing and were essentially useless due to lack of experience since they hadn’t been working the last few years. They had stories, however, about things they “used to do.” The “grunts” did all the work.

“They’re not going to be intimidated by some pipsqueak on the kooky left,” Mr. LaCivita said. Wry catch ninjapirate... and just watch the panic set in on Dem side as they begin to realize, again, that haughty, nuanced elites cannot be elected as a Prez in America... even with the McCarthyite tactics of the goons described in article you linked. Loon left... have you no shame??
