And just to keep the nature of our political sparring alive, I feel compelled to tell you that you need to go back and restudy his stance on gun control and the federal policy he said he would adapt.
Okay, You're just getting a little bossy around here!

I will study what he "said/says" and what he has "done".

Look I dont think this goes much deeper than the Unions want this, the unions are the top supporters of democrats and the democrats think unions are awesome.


does it need to be any deeper than that? Stew, stink is stink no matter what one believes about it.

I wasn't trying to make a statement, I was just trying to figure out or find out what he or any of the others who signed off on this would articulate as their reasoning. I know that what they articulate is not necessarily the real reason (you know my healthy skepticism concerning politicians), I'm just curious as to what reasoning they would give anyway.

I think this is simple. it will increase membership in Unions.

Democrats think that is a good thing generally.

Secondly Unions want this. Democrats get a good bit of thier cash from unions.

but I dont know what they really say.

Re: Obama and Unions. The END of secret ballots!

The union organizers could intimidate enough people to sign up for unionization. Under the old or present system there would then be a secret ballot for the actual unionization. Some that had been intimidated or bullied into signing the original petition could vote no anonymously on a secret ballot and then the union might not get in. Union people would not like secret ballots because then they would not know who to punish.

George McGovern, the icon of libs, is advertising against it.
