3. The national president of the Carpenters Union is a total Repub, and state bodies have been known to
endorse Republicans for U.S. senate or governor.

4. It's unions saying the smart play is back the leader in the polls
Then they can cuddle up with the winner saying we didn't do anything to hurt you. It happened in Ne. 4 years ago. I don't agree with it at all.

I can think of some Republicans who "wouldn't mind" scratching the back of a union or two.
I can also think of some Republicans who I'd love to pimp slap; funny how the two lists are damned near identical.

At the same time, though you'll never hear it from them anywhere near someone in a union leadership, I know a fair amount of union members that like Republicans--and Conservatives.

Mods, could you delete this? I accidentally quoted it, when I wanted to "modify" it.

I agree. But so long as it is the thugs in the union leadership that are setting the "political agenda" for the union as a whole, Unions climbing in bed with any politician is never a good thing, regardless of party affiliation.
