Judd Gregg (R-New Hamp.) is about to leave the Senate for a cabinet post with the Obamas.  Hmmm.  Now 'splain that one to me.  It doesn't compute.  I'm figuring Sen. Gregg has been promised the world to give the Dems the 60 Senate seats (after he's replaced by a Dem appointee) they crave.  The GOP needs to wake up and recognize what is happening here.  The fix is in.  They need to NOT COOPERATE with anything Obama proposes.  Let Obama go it alone and take full responsibility for everything that happens.

RINO. He was on an interview earlier.

He was talking about how we need to put a floor under people's home values and keep them at the level they are now so people feel like they have money.

NO. I cannot AFFORD a house because they COST WAY MORE THAN 2.5X AVERAGE SALARY!

So how much of the work force is unionized that fits middle class incomes?


From the AFL-CIO site:

http://www.aflcio.org/joinaunion/why/uniondifference/uniondiff11.cfm

12% and going down. Not much which makes me wonder why the Dems pander to unions. Well - not really - they're birds of a feather. All about controlling people and unions, like the dems are inherently socialist as they place the collective's worth above that of the individual.

the 12% represent a larger block when you add in family members and folks not yet at the union trough. says the former shop steward
It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

That 12% also does not include retirees. Lefty politicians kiss up to the unions because they are an almost certain cash cow. Unions are also deeply entrenched in Marxist philosophy and rhetoric. Syas this current shop steward that likes to wear NRA caps to local meeting to annoy the liberals.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.
