3. So don't let labor reshape America BUT let
big business and corporations who reap the reward of the labor should shape it. "Go powder your diaper Vitter". Hey if I lived in LA I would make that into a bumper sticker.

4. I guess the diaper thing distracts us from what a dangerous prick Vitter is.

5. Nice video from the Charlie Melancon campaign who is the Dem challenger.

In order to get the Teabaggers on board, the pukes have had to align themselves with incredibly outrageous stuff. It's an f'ing goldmine that the Dems need to milk for every last drop.

8. Help me out here
I live in SoCal so maybe it is a bit different out here, but my day to day activities are barely impacted by "the scary Unions."

State/County workers, Service workers other than that very little interaction. (Just looked it up - In CA under 20% Unionized, in US less than 15%)

So here is my questions

1. What am I supposed to be afraid of? Less than 1 in 5 and most are Gov't employees
2. Related to above question... I do here people making Union comments, negative, how does this motivate voters?

10. That is clear
But why?

In the 50s and 60s I can see Unions being used as an argument "Those Socialist workers..."

But in 2010?

13. Teabaggers are STILL scared of "socialism".
Keep in mind that many of these folks never got past a basic level of education, and are emotionally driven.

12. Obviously the Senator only purchases the time of non-union hookers
with this much disdain for all things union.

16. Gee, I wonder what the "radical political agenda" of "big Labor" is?
Maybe they want better pay or working conditions for workers!!! Yikes! :scared:
