    Right to Work
    Hello:

    Wingers SAY Obama care was "rammed down their throats", but it was debated for TWO YEARS.. If you really want to know how to RAM stuff down your opponents throat, just look at what the wingers did in Michigan.

    Did Obamacare ever see a legitimate vote like all legislation is supposed to? No it didn't.

    Did Obamacare have the so-called debate behind closed and locked doors the Republicans were not allowed to participate in... most certainly YES.


    The right to work was passed by a legitimate majority vote UNLIKE Obamacare...

    Why should Non-democrats be forced to pay dues that are given to support ONLY the Democrat party?

    For the same reasons that employees of Koch Industries have no say in who their owners support.

    Face it, right-to-work is where it's at. Our unemployment rate here in my city never went above 6% when the economy tanked. New construction here has been non-stop. There's a new major shopping center and 3 new hotels less than a half mile from where I work. Construction crews from all over the country have been getting in on the act here.

    Been to Dallas lately? The whole darn Metroplex is under construction... gotta widen those highways and build homes for all the Californians fleeing their state. You don't think other states want to see that kind of activity?

    Besides the freedom and economic benefits of right-to-work, it's much more peaceful here without all those union thugs tearing down tents with women and children inside, assaulting people and threatening civil wars.

    Right to work was NOT the point of my post... RAMMING it DOWN THE THROATS of Michiganders was the point.

    My knees weren't jerking, I was just pointing out the reality. Only 11.4% of American workers are now union members, 7% in the private sector. Right-to-work is where it's at.

    As for ramming it down their throats... reap what you sow.

    GM will open its newest plant in Mexico in March 2013.

    It already operates plants in Texas and Louisiana. The unions are dinosaurs.

    Whenever a political party holds majority in both legislatures and the governorship that party - be it Democrat or Republican - will use tactics to limit debate and ram their legislation down the minority party's throat. And the minority party will scream "unfair" - right up until the day they become the majority party. The Republicans in Michigan weren't the first, and won't be the last. Here in Illinois we see it all the time with the Democrat legislature and governor doing their sweetheart deals with very limited debate. And we certainly see it in Chicago with the Democrat mayor and city council doing things like approving multi-year no bid contracts and selling off city assets with no debate allowed. So don't be surprised by this tactic when it happens in Michigan.

    THat has NOTHING to do with the point... Union dues are extorted off employees to pay for things they neiother want nor support... like everything that doesn't pay for their benefits.

    I personally object to MY dues being given to support Democrat candidates that have done absolutely NOTHING to help me or my needs...

    If a Union is to contribute to ANY political campaign.. it should legally be required to give an equal amount to the other party as well.

    Actually Union Dues should EXCLUSIVELY be used for members issues and benefits... NOT political follies.

    It wasn't rammed down any throats... its was voted on and approved by a majority... UNLIKE Obamacare which never got an up or down vote...

    And that's why it shouldn't be.. it sucks... and MOST of the population knows it sucks. It was a cheap ploy.. exactly like you would expect from a lowlife poorly educated wannabe street thug from Chicago... who would get his skinny little black butt kicked if he didn't have the secret service protecting his yellow back.

    The only people that like is are the lazy non-productive losers that think they should get a free ride at everyone else's expense.

    And of Course Nancy Pelosi doesn't even qualify as human much less a woman.

    See there is a big difference between excon and Obama... I could invite excon out for a beer if we found ourselves in the same town and we could probably have a decent conversation.

    Obama would dictate WHAT bar we would be going to... WHAT we would be drinking... then expect me to pay for it along with the bill for all the underprivileged people that didn't come to the bar too, then he would preach about how I should feel privileged to give all MY money to the lazy.. while he is too cheap to hand over any of his massive wealth to the same people.

    I would then begin to understand Lee Harvey Oswald in very short amount of time.

    Even though I believe in Karma... and what goes around comes around.. and its going to hit him like a ton of bricks at some point when it does... Smart investors will be investing in KY jelly... the need for it is due to skyrocket..

    smoothy, BO is just a man and in a private situation very much like you. He might have some underpriviliged stories to tell, but hell, don't we all. Hard times fall on everyone but they don't last, at least not for some.

    One day he might have little, but I expect he has been there before and knows how to handle it, but you, well...

    He doesn't have any REAL underprivileged stories, he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth... he has NEVER been there before... he's never held a REAL job in his life... and that's no secret.

    I on the other hand am not stupid enough to believe the crap.. and propaganda... spread about him...

    He and his wife are arrogant.. racist and rude... respect isn't in their vocabulary...

    Of course you wouldn't know this on the other side of the globe, nor would most people... but I know people that travel with him, work, not pleasure.. and I got this from them directly. Not everyone is there because they like him... some don't have a choice.

    You may not realise this, being at some distance, but we on the other side of the world don't expect anything but racism and rudeness, we have seen it all before. We have our own coloured people here and what do we find, exactly what you complain of, they just don't know their place do they?

    It has NOTHING to do with his skin color... it has EVERYTHING to do with his lies and socialist leanings and ties to terrorists and the fact that he is utterly clueless about most things... the man isn't qualified to run a McDonalds store... and after four years he still doesn't have a clue to tie his own shoes... He isn't there under any merit.. he's there because of fraud and complicity from the socialist media who ceased being journalists years ago and are pure propagandists now.

    SO before you start claiming its all because he is black... its the Democrats who were race baiting and committing the slander and libel.

    Look at how Herman Cain... a man who actually DID have real accomplishments in his life... the left fears a black man who doesn't fall back to play the race card 5 times a day.

    They paid several Democrat women to make false accusations about him... unfounded ones... then the leftist post did as their party commanded and libels and slandered him... because if there was ANY truth to even ONE of those claims there would have been a lawsuit filed and there never was.. some of them were never even named... probibly because they never existed...

    Herman Cain was a black man I could respect because he earned his success... Barrak Obama never worked a real job in his life... and I have NO respect for him... and I never will.

    The Democrat party has a vested interest in keeping the blacks and minorities down... so they can be the neverending victims that are in need of handouts in exchange for votes...

    It's the Republican party that was responsible for the Civil rights laws the blacks enjoy today... something the democrats forget fighting against for decades...

    Obama would have been fired from any REAL job. Why? Because spending money you don't have is considered fraud in the real world... any Business that spends more than it brings in would be shut down and liquidated by the bankruptcy court...

    If a private person was writing out checks they didn't have money in the bank to cover would be put in jail for check fraud...

    But then I suppose its legal to kite checks and defraud people and creditors in Canada since you think Obama is doing everything so freaking perfectly and is such a boy-god who can do no wrong.

    After he has PERSONALLY run up MORE of a debt than every president since George Washington in 1776 through George Bush... COMBINED.
