Pepper Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Geee! This is a surprise. Why wouldn't they wait until they saw who the GOP opponent was in 2012? You know, be openminded and accepting of possible change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, be openminded and accepting of possible change? No kidding! It's no surprise, but seriously! Can you not be so blatantly partisan, and wait until we HAVE a candidate before you snub them?

Pepper Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Saltbag Barack now has them in his pocket and he can still play conservative to capture the fence sitters. Reminds me of the girl who lets the guy get to home plate on the first date. Geee! This is a surprise. Why wouldn't they wait until they saw who the GOP opponent was in 2012? You know, be openminded and accepting of possible change? No kidding! It's no surprise, but seriously! Can you not be so blatantly partisan, and wait until we HAVE a candidate before you snub them?

Casino67 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Has anyone seen an honest poll or survey of just how union members vote? Do they follow their leader's 'suggestions' or go with their own opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCJim Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Has anyone seen an honest poll or survey of just how union members vote? Do they follow their leader's 'suggestions' or go with their own opinions? they will never tell you, though I do work in a union office and most are so naive they do what ever the check signer says....

Just another reason to detest the teacher's union. Their money laundering operation for the DNC should qualify for RICO but, alas, who's going to actually challenge them?
