George McGovern Scolds Democrats

Is this the same short term memory that elected G. Bush to a second term? :laugh:

 

quote from above;
"Under EFCA, workers could lose the freedom to express their will in private, the right to make a decision without anyone peering over their shoulder, free from fear of reprisal."

Would they want national elections held in the same way? I don't think so.

 

Yes, I want national elections to be honest. I propose posting country voter lists on the web so that people can check for dead neighbors. I propose that all votes and names be posted on the web. Then each person can check his own vote and write his own program to make a tally of the votes.

 

Most wants an honest election, but most like an election where their vote is private. In a private vote no one can put pressure on someone after the election as much as they could if their vote was open, But one could look at my yard and see a few who I would vote for, because of their posters.

 

Another intimidating tactic by unions. I sure hope something like this never passes...

 

If Unions are so great for the workers then why do they have to resort to strong hand tactics to get workers to sign on?

 

They are as sneaky, corrupt, and untrustworthy as any corporation. And the AFL-CIO has become an arm of the radical lefting liberal movement.

 

I think America would be far better off if we didn't have labor unions. They are a major reason we are becoming less and less competitive in the world economy. They keep labor costs artificially high and force corporations to give their members better benefits than their professional counterparts. They have even succeeded in limiting union layoffs when huge cuts are being made in management ranks. They have tried to institute artificial job security when there is no more job security.

 

Well said. :thumbs:

 

One good example is the recent negotiation with Verizon. The union wanted them to guarantee job security in an industry that is loosing out to wireless and VoIP. They don't seem to realize that once we can wirelessly get 5, 10 or 100 megs the copper wires will become little used items of antiquity.

 

Much like the "religious right" has become completely controlled by the GOP.

For you to label them as "sneaky, corrupt, and untrustworthy" without offereing any evidence for such allegations really speaks volumes.

Don't worry: I don't expect anything.

There is such a thing, carpro.

 

I see that you have taken to responding to yourself.
The last time I saw that happen, it was a person who had two logins on the same board.

:laugh:
Oops.......

 

“I wonder why there's no such thing as the "religious left"?



“There is such a thing, carpro.”


“Probably for the same reason that most athiests are liberals.”

Good progressive conversation.
