Just so you know we used to have a liberal version of Tea Partiers. They were called unions
   
Back when my union the UAW was a million and a half strong, politicians were too scared to be ****ing with any unions. Someone ****ed with any union members, and it didn't have to be our union either, we had the buses loaded up and on the road. We were some militant bastards too. Just the kind of people you would want on your side when the chips were down no matter what your liberal cause was.

Anyone else remember those days?

You goons still have unions that is why Harry Reid still has a job.
The Tea Party didn't go around forcing folks to vote for their candidate.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I wonder how loud these DUmbasses would squawk if the unions were backing conservatives.  That would be a hoot!

How true that is. Too bad the people that are in the unions are being played like pawns, while the leaders of those unions make all the decisions as to how to spend those union member's union dues.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that the dues paying members don't necessarily support the same candidates and causes their money and their union bosses do.

The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years.  The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Lot's of union guys call Rush, Hannity, and Beck, all claiming that a lot of the members aren't happy with the leaders.

Oh, those were your version of TEA Partiers?  Now here and I thought they were your version of Sicilian crime syndicates and Chinese Triads.  My mistake.

Sheesh. Why do you think so many jobs have been exported? Union mobsters.

In theory, a long time ago, unions were a good thing. They protected the working man from exploitation. In time they evolved into thugs who demand $80 an hour and a lifetime pension  to screw in a bolt (usually the wrong way--hence so many recalls).

It's about time they see the truth and what is going on. There may be "hope" yet. :-)

Just so you know we used to have a liberal version of Tea Partiers. They were called unions the Coffee Party.

And they lasted all of about 5 minutes.
