Strickland and Brown are delivering what Ohioans have wanted for years – substance.

Pardon if you’re bitter about Blackwell not making it. Ohio’s not likely to turn red again for a while.

I guess you do know he voted for TARP.. he’s no conservative, and he is normally pro-labor so you might be onto something. But I think he knows he doesn’t need to fight for card check.

He’s an Ohioan. You don’t get elected here by pissing off your electorate.

When are you all going to call this act by its real name, the UBEA (the Union Bosses Enrichment Act)?????

If they donated like the bailed out institutions, he would say it is a great idea. getalife on March 31, 2009 at 11:36 AM

I guess you do know he voted for TARP.. he's no conservative, and he is normally pro-labor so you might be onto something. But I think he knows he doesn't need to fight for card check. Card check was just leverage so that a few politicians could thump their chests and pretend they're doing something for us and get a "compromise".. just like True_King says.

Man, everybody’s falling for the Fast Track “compromise.” The Congress and out alternative media.

They pushed Card Check so they could “compromise” for Fast Track. That alone increases success of a vote by 40%.

Wake up punditry! :)

but, but, but, I was always told it was Republicans that were taking away our rights…

Card Check
Fairness Doctrine
Confiscatory Taxes
Auto Regulation
CEO choice
Life as a choice

the list goes on…

How much of your retirement have you lost because of Obama’s recession?

Everybody say your prayers that when Voinovich leaves in 2010, his successor is Rob Portman. A while you’re at it, keep John Kasich in mind for his run to beat incumbent Ted Strickland, who sat picking his nose as ACORN ran wild over parts of Ohio and one of his appointees authorized the invasion of Joe the Plumber’s privacy.

Here’s hoping Ohio turns red again before turning into Michigan.

Card Check is a disaster — and completely unnecessary.

Unless…….

…….. you are a fascist.

The reason unions were formed was to limit the workforce to members. Unions are organized against workers, not management. The middle class you claim was formed by unions is smaller than it would have been otherwise without them.

I was starting to lose faith in Voinovich. Glad he has a spec of sense left in him.

Yeah, just in time for retirement.

Yup. Unions have long since become what they were formed to prevent.

Unions today are more in line with the views of the murderer “Big Bill” Haywood instead of Samuel Gompers. Unless they re-learn the lessons of Gompers, they need to die. Violently.

I keep coming back to “how can a worker who doesn’t want a union be forced into one just because a majority of his coworkers vote for it?”

Card Check is dead in the water.

But, it’s a bittersweet victory, since the unions appear to control the president. Shocking.

In the history of our country without unions, there may never have been a middle class on the scale that it is now. The problem is that the honorable reasons the unions were formed has been usurped by the total greed and corruption of their leaders. Now instead of being the representative of those to maintain livable wages, they are a cancer and no more of a viable force for good as the lying thieves that represent us in Congress.

This is good.

But I would like to hear him say that he will not vote for future bills that have the EFCA chopped up and slipped into them.

Only the most radical leftists…the ones who can honestly say that in all instances unions do good and have the potential to do more good…would ever support such an idiotic policy. I assume we’ll be seeing more of this as time goes by.
