Probably not. They got caught. >>>>> A spokesperson with the AFL-CIO told Local 6 News that the Orlando protest did not go as planned.<<<<<

Since AFL/CIO goons attacked 20 Republican campaign offices yesterday and in some cases assaulted working folks, I would recommend all staff personnel be issued concealed carry permits. That would put a quick end to that bs.

Ransacking of Bush HQ & Its Effect What a terrible thing to do, but the end result will be positive--for Bush. Namely, this is going to backfire big time because this makes the Dems look bad, and the subconscious, visceral public reaction will be sympathetic to Bush/Cheney. The fact that this is in the battleground state of Florida makes it even sweeter as it will help solidify the small lead Bush has built up there over the last few weeks. It also effectively neutralizes any further influence the AFL-CIO might have had in this election (at least any influence in favor of the Democrats). I take great delight in knowing that they're now preoccupied with removing the proverbial egg from their face. Short of an endorsement, the AFL-CIO couldn't have given the Bush-Cheney ticket a much better gift.
