And you say your a conservative. You don't like Bush you don't like the Washington Times. By the way did you know that the former labor secretary of Bill Clinton Mr Robert Reich stated that the greatest threat to America was the entrepreneur. He stated that Government should get together with BIG BUSINESS and decide what needs to be produced. ATTA go RR right out of the pages of fascism. Can you go back in time and they decide no we don't need a computer (kind of like the mistake some other bloated company made) Mr Gates. Go further back in time and no the horse will do Mr FORD. Is that your brand of fiscal conservatism ?

you clowns are all worrying about unions Not me! They've pretty much committed suicide. Now we just have to wait for the corpse to quit thrashing. reason.com "Organized labor was a one-century phenomenon. Look it up. Union members were only 9.5 percent of the private sector work force in 1999, down from a peak of 37 percent 40 years earlier. The last time union membership was that low was in 1902, when union members were 9.3 percent of the private sector work force. And back then, unions were true member-based organizations poised to play a significant role in the new century’s economic growth, not the government-coddled, coercive institutions they have become. The current union leaders, led by AFL-CIO President John Sweeney, have no realistic plans to change course. They are presiding over the final, terminal stage of organized labor. And they like things just the way they are......"

re: Yeah, Trumka ain't a choir boy, obviously, but, then again, neither was Charlie Keating or the ADM execs who got put away. So, then Trumka ought to be put away if he's doing the same type of stuff. I also had to comment on your corporate strong-arming. I think you are looking at your union boss lackeys and seeing them being forced to contribute to the boss' pick. You then equate them to legitimate businessman out of envy. Don't rationalize union corruption by claiming everybody does it. Sounds too slick willy like. knc
