Unions are the 1-percenters in Massachusetts.......

I'm sooooooooooooo surprised.....yawn...No I'm not.....

DURING THE recent campaign, Massachusetts Democrats denounced widening income inequality and the excessive influence Wall Street and other big business interests have over our politics. On the national level, it’s a persuasive argument.

But here in the Commonwealth, electing the candidates who made those arguments was like voting to maintain the Bush tax cuts. Because in Massachusetts politics, organized labor is the ultimate 1 Percenter and the rest of us are Occupiers.

Union-backed super PAC raises questions from Republicans....

The Mass Values Independent Expenditure PAC will file its financial disclosures on Monday, and they will show that it received $75,000 each from the Massachusetts Teachers Association and the Service Employees International Union Local 1199, as well as $10,000 from SEIU Local 509, and $2,000 from MassEquality, the organization’s spokesman Steve Crawford said.

Brown, Warren cancel tomorrow’s Senate debate.....

 “The Scott Brown campaign today announced that out of concern for the hardship faced by people in the path of Hurricane Sandy that he will not be participating in tomorrow’s fourth and final debate,” campaign spokesman Colin Reed said in a statement. “It is simply not appropriate to go forward with a political debate when a disaster strikes. The focus for all of us before, during and after the storm, needs to be on emergency response and disaster relief, not campaigns and politics.”

Shortly after, Warren bowed out of the event.

CBS News uses outdated ‘fact-check’ to counter Paul Ryan’s claims on Delphi pension situation.....

CBS News relied on an outdated, months-old “fact-check” this weekend to call “mostly false” Paul Ryan’s claim that President Barack Obama’s auto bailout favored unionized workers.

'Highly confidential' internal Treasury documents show Obama administration's deep involvement in Delphi pension scandal .....

They seem to "Bombshell" hourly these days....can you imagine 4 more years of this...?

Internal Treasury Department documents described as “highly confidential” and obtained by The Daily Caller show a greater level of involvement in the Delphi pension scandal from senior officials in the Obama administration than has been previously acknowledged.

Libya and Lies .....

It was a little much when President Barack Obama said that he was “offended” by the suggestion that his administration would try to deceive the public about what happened in Benghazi. What has this man not deceived the public about?

Elizabeth Warren and her Chicago union pals......

Read this Massachusetts......they are buying her election....

Elizabeth Warren is as far left wing as they come so unions know that jacking her up with the deep pockets of the union members’ (dues) bank accounts will practically (buy) insure her election to the Senate. Unions make up less than 12% of the entire workforce in the country and less than 17% in Massachusetts. Warren’s symbiotic relationship with them shows her failure to care about the rest of the state or country who are not union.

Obama: ‘We Got Back Every Dime’ of Bailout; CBO: Bailout Will Lose $24 Billion.......

 President Barack Obama said on Thursday that “we got back every dime we used to rescue the financial system."

According to the Congressional Budget Office, however, the government will lose about $24 billion on the bailout.

Troubling Auto-Rescue Plunder (TARP)...

The car companies brag that they "paid back" their loans. Sure, the "loans" were $413 million of the total $80 billion. They got $80B; they have never paid back $37B of that; and we never expect to see $20B of that. I will gladly pay the federal government $1M if it gives me $50M in the first place!

Unions Fine Members Who Don't Show Support for Elizabeth Warren......

We held Brown signs at the Lowell, Ma. debate and we were surrounded by Carpenter's Union, UAW, Teamsters, Firefighters...... yada, yada...............

This isn't the first instance in a Massachusetts Senate race where unions have been accused of generating fake grassroots support for the Democrat.

In 2010, before Brown's victory in the special election, a union member wearing a shirt supporting the Democratic candidate, Martha Coakley, told a local blogger on camera that he had been paid $50 to wear the shirt but that he was actually voting for Brown.

AFSCME video shows Romney trash collector bashing him – but Romney once collected trash ......

Do your homework before you trash....somebody....

So let’s get this straight: Not only did Romney actually spend a day doing exactly what the trash collector in the union ad does, but he also used the same exact word: “invisible.” And he used to say that’s exactly how he doesn’t view such people.

All this seems to show that Mitt Romney is far from an evil Republican who could care less about trash collectors. In fact, he once hung off the back of a garbage truck to see what they go through.

SEIU Protesters Admit to Being Paid $11 an Hour to Protest Mitt Romney Event.......

YOUR HARD EARNED Union dues at work for ya........ Remember...just like the Government....without people paying taxes...without people paying dues...they have NO power....WE THE PEOPLE do.....

 SEIU protesters outside a Mitt Romney campaign event in Ohio on Wednesday admitted on camera that they were paid $11 an hour to picket.

The video, posted to YouTube on Wednesday, showed protesters carrying a variety of signs including “SEIU for Obama 2012.” Some wore T-shirts in the labor union’s signature purple.

“We rode down here today,“ one man with an ”SEIU for Obama” sign said on camera. “They’re paying $11 an hour.”

New Jobless Claims Report Shows Businesses Aren’t Hiring.....

Employers added a paltry 96,000 jobs last month, 9,000 of which were striking utilities workers returning to work, below the 141,000 in July and much lower than the average 226,000 added in the first three months of the year. Recent job gains are barely enough to keep up with the growth of the working age population and aren’t enough to rapidly drive down unemployment.

U.S. Treasury Turns Down GM’s Offer to Buy Back Shares .....

Truth hurts when it sees the light of day.....

General Motors Co. executives want the Treasury Department to sell its almost 27 percent stake in the company because, they say, the feds are hurting their image and government pay restrictions are chasing away top talent.

But Treasury officials aren’t interested in selling because it would mean posting a multibillion dollar loss during an election year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

American prison labor means longer unemployment lines......

And higher cost of goods.......typical government intervention.....

American Apparel, the Selma, Ala., based military clothing manufacturer closed one of its plants and continues to downsize others due to the loss of some of its contracts to FPI. According retired Air Force colonel and spokesman Kurt Wilson, the company laid off 255 employees and cut the hours of 190 employees this year alone. So private workers end up losing their jobs to prisoners.

Judge Strikes Down Scott Walker’s Collective Bargaining Law.....

I tire so much of activist judges going against the voter....VOTER......the strongest power of them all.....if only we would stand together....

A Wisconsin judge has struck down nearly all of the state law championed by Gov. Scott Walker that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most public workers.

Verenice Gutierrez Claims PB&J Could Hold Racist Connotations.....

Thank heavens it's late in the day...I can drink soon................

Are peanut butter and jelly sandwiches racist? A bizarre question, to say the least, but one that at least one school administrator is asking out in Portland, Oregon. Verenice Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, seems to believe that there are racial connotations associated with the common lunch-time meal.

Teachers Strike, Children Suffer ......

"No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffusd and Virtue is preservd. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauchd in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders." --Samuel Adams

Chicago thuggery personified: Meet Chicago Teachers’ Union president Karen Lewis.....

This is the woman leading the walkout of 26,000 public school teachers in Chicago. Karen Lewis, head of the Chicago Teachers’ Union, is a loud-mouthed “social justice” radical whose Big Labor racket would rather abandon 350,000 children to the streets than accept merit-based pay, teacher evaluations, and a 16 percent pay raise. The school board had already caved considerably on the union’s demands, but as the Chicago Sun-Times put it: “From the get-go, the union seemed intent on striking.”

Strassel: The Party that Obama Un-Built.....

Well framed...and without name calling! Who knew!?

It took Mr. Obama two years to destroy this potential, with an agenda that forced his party to field vote after debilitating vote—stimulus, ObamaCare, spending, climate change. The public backlash, combined with the president's mismanagement of the economy, has reversed Democrats' electoral gains and left a party smaller than at any time since the mid-1990s.
