1. I think he means that the money trough will be a little smaller, to dems. if they
don't shape up and look at who got them elected.

2. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with a single thing he said.
But do try to whip up a frenzy against organized labor.

5. Since he only speaks for the Teamsters on labor issues, personally, he just might
if the anti-choice RRRepublican supports labor better than the Democrat.

To my knowledge, he doesn't let his own personal views on non-labor issues be known, nor does he claim to speak for anti-choice or choice candidates.

Really, LZ, it isn't that difficult to understand.

6. I'm not gonna' worry too much...
...about it. At the end of the day...where are they gonna' go?


The black vote and the labor vote are two demographics we can always count on. And, the latino vote is comming around.

8. Labor has been shrinking.
Edited on Sat May-21-11 06:25 AM by mmonk
The Firefighters Union has already decided to pull back the purse strings. Labor is not a slam dunk to be taken for granted anymore. They are under seige and know it.

13. If he makes good it will be the best thing to happen for labor

in 50 years.

The Democratic Party has been the false friend of labor for decades, time to end that abusive relationship.
