Soros and Clooney will pick up the slack never fear dems ur rich left loons from hollywood will well ummmm well they arent big donors and they love their money so maybe not.

 

[ClosedCaption]

So it's not about saving money then? We're advocating the destruction of unions and what they stand for for short term political gain?

I take it you're a checkers kinda guy

 

[Conservative]

I think her partner used too big a strap-on last night. Rachael sounds extremely butt-hurt.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Why is that? Are their ideas not enough?

 

[buckeye45_73]

I hope Clooney does use his money, it's about time those rich hollywood liberals pay for something!

 

[buckeye45_73]

Is it me or was it funny that Oprah Winfrey's car giveaway blew up in her face because of......wait for it........taxes. I thought she loved taxes, but it killed her little giveaway, poetic justice if you ask me

You just can't write better comedy!

Him being from the Peoples' Republic of Madison explains a lot. Been a cesspool of liberalism there for a long time.

 

[clevergirl]

Taking the teeth out of unions is good for America... Like any lobby group too much power is not a good thing.

Now maybe democrats will get back to being friendly to capitalistic business interests that help all American's- allowing government its real role of effective regulating and protecting American's.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Unions are a good thing. When people of their own free will, opt to join a union, pay dues and accept that management is going to align with one political party (Democrats), who can argue with that?

However, when you are forced to join a union, especially a public employee union (government), and have the government take a portion of your wages to give to the union who gives to The Democrat Party, that's a problem on two core fronts:

1) Employees have no say and/or choice
2) Ultimately, taxpayers are being forced to contribute to Unions and The Democrat Party in the case(s) where employee union membership is mandatory.

Between ACORN-derived organizations and Public Service Unions, Democrats get to tap into all US Taxpayers for money. The American People are getting wise to this and don't like it. SEE Wisconsin June 2012

yeah, where is boop. I'm pro choice on unions. if you want to join, fine, but you should never be forced to. I remember trying to get a job at Kroger in high school and they said I had to join a union. I was like F that, I'm not gonna fork over my money to some fat ass liberal for nothing.

 

[saveliberty]

Democrats have two strategies.

Get more of the dead voters out.

Move to red states and convert them to blue.

Are these figures for individual contributions or from company PACS?

 

[Claudette]

Looks like companies and they contributed big time to Barry Boy.

Unions are OK as long as they give their rank and file the freedom to decide their own political agenda. Municipal unions are different from private sector unions because they rely on taxpayer money and for that reason a courageous governor decided to take a stand. All Scott Walker wanted to do was to limit the municipal union's collective bargaining power and the left went crazy. Teachers violated state law and called in sick to riot and elected democrats fled the state like criminals to avoid doing their duty. Proof that the world is bass-ackward in the lilberal mind is that the teachers didn't get fired and the democrat legislators didn't get fired but the governor faced a recall election.

Maddow has learned how to compete without a penis, so we can surely learn how to survive without govt unions.
