Karl Rove Brings That Old Bush Magic to Peoria, Illinois

http://www.week.com/news/local/44747362.html

A controversial figure from the Bush Administration comes to Peoria and creates a controversy on Monday. Karl Rove's speech stirs up tension between local labor leaders and businesses.

Union members pack onto the corner of the Pere Marquette. Inside, Karl Rove speaks out against the Employee Free Choice Act to about 40 business leaders. Outside, about 200 union members speak out in support of the bill.

Obama should piss on the 'Economic Freedom Alliance' - whoever they are. Sounds like they want the freedom to piddle on American workers. They must be anti american if they're against free choice. They even said they'l piss on other people in other parts of the world if American workers are not prepared to put up with the piss. Out of control capitalism caused the ecomonic crash you need Unions to keep everything in check if theres to be economic stability and fairplay for EVerYoNe.
