Here's a Senate GOP Union Bustin Talking Point to shove down their throats...

Edited on Sat Dec-13-08 02:12 AM by jmondine

Wastn't it not long ago that John McCain called the American worker the best, hardest working, most innovative and most well trained in the world? So therefore they deserve a pay cut? They don't deserve to be paid better than all those lazier, less innovative and undertrained workers in other countries!?

He also called the American worker, albeit retroactively, the "fundamentals of our economy". With that logic, the Senate rethugs, MCAIN AMONG THEM, are threatening, by his very definition, to cripple the fundamentals of the American economy!

Pardon my French, but what a bunch of dickless fuckwads.

1. McCain said Americans wouldn't pick lettuce for $50/hr.

I must have missed the point where he said that proved they were hardworking.

2. The unions and auto manufacturers worked hand in hand for 40 years

...to the mutual benefit to both.
The companies prospered and the workers joined the middle class, buying homes, cars, and raising families.

When the Big Three discovered cheap third world labor in the '70s, suddenly the unions were "being unreasonable". Concessions were demanded and cooperation was granted over and over, without one major strike in the name of keeping the business in the USA.

Curb...meet worker, worker...curb.
