You are so blind. There are so many things granted to you because of unions. You are probably one of those people who are silent when a CEO make millions a year but believe eveyone should make McDonald's wages. I feel so sad for those of you who wear blinders.

Sorry i'm fed up and the Democrats are not doing anything to help us middle class people.

Just like Clinton told Daddy Bush it's the economy stupid!

Brown worked his pant's off to win and all the elitist snob Democrats did was bad mouth him and turn their backs on the voters sorry but what happened in Mass was a huge wake up call it's the economy stupid and that's it!

HEY Fred Flinstone! Flush out your head gear! Voters HAVE changed their mind! Look at election results and polls since you made this post. The majority of Americans don't want Obama Care, don't want big debt, and the government sure as hell can't create jobs! YES, WAKE-UP AMERICA! RICHARD TRUMKA AND HIS JOB DESTROYING UNION WANTS GOVERNMENT AND LABOR UNION CONTROL OVER YOU! LOOK AT EUROPE AND SHUN THE AFL-CIO!

The Democrats never  learn their lesson--they are always looking for bi[artisan support.Force the hand of the Republicans and make them vote down a real health care bill that has a public option. I agree that there is a growing disgust among Dems that the party is giving up a chance to undue the nightmare of the last 8 years.

What we are left with is the need for a good independent to run .. We need someone in the middle. Someone that is focused on getting things done. Not stand for everything their party wants. Its not supposed to be about what they want. Its what we want. The american tax paying people. Why have all this shit voted on by congress when the people should vote on it. Its like a big chess game we are just pawns we have to do whatever they want. Fight and die for a war you may not believe in or whatever

This is Paolo7219. Watched the video. Good one. I think the Republicans are living in fantasyland if they think they are on a comeback. George W. Bush did permanent damage to the Republican Party. The Dems? Guys like Chris Dodd are as bad as any Republican, so where does that leave us? The whole system of government in DC is corrupt. We need to change that for REAL reform. Just my .02.

Think about it if you got one person saying mr. boss sir i need a raise I work 40 hours plus anywhere between 10 to 20 hours overtime but i only bring home 400 a week i can even pay rent with that.. I am sorry its not in our budget. but him and his friends just got a $150,000 bonus.... Ok now you got all 50,000 people that work for the company saying yo we need fair pay and helthcare.. instead of you and all the big payoffs for the assholes in the office doing nothing but sucking someones balls

[that24car]

you know how Unionizing going to help ? It will give you a voice ! Think about it. When the unions made the deal with the helthcare tax Fox news and the right wing staff went nuts. they were crying its not fair and who is fighting for us. When you belong to a union your not alone.. your strong by numbers. Just like the "tea party" they are making a little noise no sence but noise because of numbers. it gives them a voice. What is so bad about unions to you anyway?........ Laborers Local 593!!!

How the hell is unionizing going to stop that? They can nix your job whenever they want. Ask everyone else who has lost their job already to NAFTA and Red China.

Maybe if you union goons had brains in your skulls, you'd be writing your congressmen telling them to abandon free trade and establish a tariff to correct the trade imbalance and stop the flood of outsourcing.

Every working class American needs to pull together or all our jobs will be shipped overseas.
