Posted on November 2, 2010 at 6:19pmI have no pity for the Democratiers losses they are incurring today. They have earned their failures. They work hard to lie to the American tax payers and abuse the powers of their office. I am so excited and happy to see them get voted back into the closets. Go Tea Party and Conservatives!

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 5:17pmThe union people will not rebel against the union leaders. They probably would like to, but no way. With the economy the way it is and the hard times in front of us, they will need to be a robot and just stay the coarse.
What the union leaders need to be concerned about is the nonunion people. There are many that are just waiting for, well the right time.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 5:23pmIf any of these UNION workers had a pair they would have already walked out on the UNIONS. They have been corrupt for a long long time. They rip off the workers and fine them for not siding with them. I haven’t worked for a UNION personally, but I have worked for companies that were UNION. They would harass me for wanting to support my family. I am sorry but no one is going to tell me when I can work and when I can’t unless they are going to pay my wages till I get back to work. They were a good thing in getting things done in the early years. But now they have outlived their usefulness.

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 4:51pmThis is disgusting! We, TEA Party Patriots, pay our own way. We rent our buses, we volunteer our own time! My whole family is pro-union, as I remember arguing with my dad as early as 10, that unions had outlived their usefulness, but not it’s worse than that! We can blame unions DIRECTLY for outsourcing jobs, by making the payrolls unsustainable by private companies! Now they infest the service industry (can’t be outsourced unless by phone) and government, which all needs to be put into the private sector, or closed completely, i.e., Dept. of Education, Dept. of Ag….I could go on and ON!

Posted on November 2, 2010 at 4:51pmForm what I’ve read the Unions have bullied hotel management into special accommodations for getting employees voting time. Assuming they are Reid voters the management is acting AGAINST stockholders ,of these hotels, interests. Seems like a financial conflict of interest. If Angle wins she should demand a meeting from the CEOs of those hotels involved in the get out the Democrat vote against her and expose their activities to the shareholders. Obama Unions run the hotels now. If allowed to pass 2012 will be even worse.
