This guy isn’t playing. Having received word that union leaders are suddenly willing to make modest concessions (like maybe paying half what everyone else pays for health coverage) Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker held a news conference in which he explained the state’s financial dilemma, how the previous Democrat Governor (Jim Doyle) ducked the problem and that it’s WAY [...]
If you want to know how bad it is for Harry Reid in Nevada, watch this new ad from a group of voters called “Concerned Nevadans That Care About Our Country.� This is not a Republican or Tea Party outfit. These folks are straight from the Democrat base: Members of this group represent those from traditional Democratic coalitions [...]
One of the worst features of the unholy alliance between Democrats and the unions is the corrupt practice of taking union dues from workers and giving the money to politicians they don’t support. In this video, a courageous member of the SEIU comes out in the open with a complaint that many have been afraid to voice aloud. He will probably be [...]
Here’s AFL-CIO thug-in-chief Richard Trumka braying about Nancy Pelosi’s role in the crime against democracy called Obamacare. Like most Democrats, he displays a genuine gift for unintentional irony: She drove it down the Republicans’ throats and out their backsides. He’s got the right exit point for the Democrat work product, but the injured party wasn’t the GOP. The entire [...]
The next time you find yourself behind a BMW with an “Educator” license plate, think about this video. Jay Leno asks a variety of people, including a woman who “teaches” at a college, basic questions about American history and July 4th. The only guy who knew any of the answers went to school before the unions got control [...]
Sunday afternoon, 700 SEIU hirelings showed up on the front lawn of Gregory Baer, a lawyer for Bank of America. Try to imagine how it would play in the “news� media if hundreds of Tea Partiers stormed the private home of some union lobbyist. But will we see MSM “reporters� frown into the camera and [...]
Hmm … According to AP: About 30 unions will run a full-page ad in newspapers Wednesday announcing their opposition to the Senate Finance Committee’s health overhaul bill, a top labor lobbyist said. Why? The AP article goes does a little throat clearing before getting to the point, but union members get just the kind of “Cadillac” health plans that Baucus [...]
Last January, I wrote a piece for the American Thinker about the unholy alliance between the Obama administration and the SEIU: The SEIU’s political action committee made more than $27 million in independent expenditures in support of Obama’s presidential campaign while its members knocked on 1.87 million doors, made 4.4 million phone calls, registered 85,914 voters and sent [...]
It is no secret that the President and his congressional accomplices achieved their November victory with more than a little help (much of it in violation of campaign finance laws) from the labor unions. The SEIU, for example, made more than $27 million in expenditures in support of Obama’s presidential campaign. And, having paid so much to install Obama & [...]
The American Thinker has been good enough to run my piece about the plan Andy Stern and his accomplices (which include our President-elect) have for completely infiltrating health care. Anyone doubting that this is bad news for nurses (and thus patients) should read this post by Nurse K: Our aides have been hit with an obscure union rule that says you will automatically [...]
