Seems we've had the "charity of insurance companies" for several decades now.

It's about time we changed charities.

And our non-union, right to work (for less) mentality sure has created a bunch of opportunities ratch'ere in the Land of Opportunity (or Land of Lost Opportunities).

But, the CEO's should never fear - Blank & LilMarkyMark will stay bought. gawd, I wish I had another Democratic Party membership card to cut up and mail back, Beebe would get this one.

The "charity" of union bosses isn't any better.

The CEO's are not the ones who ruined the economy. It's the greedy congress who write the spending bills that have put us into hock and have sold us out to the Chinese. The congress has written the laws to force banks to make loans that won't be repaid. It's the congress that uses the public dole to buy votes to ensure reelection. If the CEO's ran their companies as the US congress has run our country, they would be in jail. It's the US congress who steals money from the Social Security and Medicare trust funds and leaves worthless IOU's in place. The US Congress makes the rules of business and regulates the hell out of business. Anything that the CEO's do is a direct consequence of rules made by congress with both intended and unintended consequences.

The private companies that you liberals despise so much are the lifeblood of this country. Companies provide salaries and benefits commensurate with the value of the services rendered by the employees. Companies pay competitive wages to keep their talented workers. It's unfortunate that some employees just aren't worth as much as others.

We are very generous in the US. We provide a free public education to all citizens. We provide programs for low income and underprivileged citizens. If a citizen doesn't take advantage of the free education and is unprepared for the work place, it certainly isn't the fault of the CEO's.

The difference Libertus is that the union members WORK for their money. Your pals exploit everyone else for their own benefit.
I am willing to wager a dinner at Ashley's that our two [as eLwood once advised me] Selected Senators will vote anti-the common person on this legislation. They need the money.
See Libertus, that's how the Senators WORK for their money!

Where does this Union Boss sh** come from? The member is the union boss! If you are a member that means you are the boss.

How many union 'bosses' have been responsible for loss of life on the job over the last century? How many union 'bosses' survive when their rank and file lose their jobs?

This stupid anti-union crap is for people who have faulty thought processes. People that have no idea where their 'good' life came from.

U R SO RIGHTON BRO! I was just going thru my old cd computer files the other day and stumbled upon some stuff about Enron, that Parthenon of virtue, about how worthless those securities had become. Then came the articles about the elderly in Calif losing their homes because they couldn't afford the electricity Enron manipulated into unbelievable heights.

Today was reading about Dell and Microsoft going all compatible with the Chinese communists to assist in censoring the Chinese people's access to the internetz. But wait. That's a foreign matter. What do we care.

Corporations and their CEO's are such upstanding people. Have you noticed that diesel now costs less than gasoline? Back not so long ago when gas was over $ 4 diesel was even higher than gas.

The politicians, see Ronnie Raygun, allowed and abetted the energy companies in cutting out any real competition. Now we have only a few and they control and manipulate everything.

Hey, Libertus, how do you know this?

Have you ever been in a union?

Not that I have, but you KNOW those CEOs talk to each other and plan things, probably in places like golf courses where no one can hear them collaborating. Why shouldn't the workers?

Ignoring the usual trolls. . . Pressure, what pressure? If they offer to buy the chips for a "Blank" fund-raiser, the CEO's would be subjected to a "sonic boom" at the speed of "Blank" hitting the floor with legs upraised.

It's a strange ad, imo... if I were a low info voter... meaning I listened to talk radio or local network TV or read the Dem Gaz... it might not not be clear to me by watching that ad that Lincoln and Pryor's position is anti labor as it gets.

I mean if you are going to go through the trouble/expense to make that ad, and use that scary music, you should bring the message on home.

Hello all,

I encourage you to sign a petition I published online urging Senator Blanche Lincoln of Arkansas to support the EFCA in Congress. I'm planning on writing to Senator Lincoln once I have collected a significant amount of signatures. I posted the petition on two different sites so feel free to sign both:
