You Should Be Buyin' What We're Sellin'...

Bob King, the president of the UAW has said this year the union is going to go hard after the transplants and get then unionized. I just need somebody to let me know what he is going to tell Toyota, Honda, etc., that would entice them them not to fight tooth and nail to keep the UAW out.

Hey Toyota, we (UAW) think you should let us unionize your workforce. Whattya think?

Somebody needs to give me one thing that Bob King can sell these companies to make them more open to unionization in their facilities. Don't give me the "we'll strike" answer or scare tactics like that either. There is not one good reason that these companies would want to let the UAW in. It's not like the plants are not safe, the workers make good money, get good benefits, and are protected under all the same labor laws as every other worker in this country.

So, Bob, I would love to hear your sales pitch to these companies, cause if you can sell this...

Nicer Politics?

It's has been less than two weeks since the senseless shooting in Tucson and the politicians are right back at it. Ol' sheriff Dubnik got everybody talking about "fiery rhetoric" immediately following the shooting, and many politicos seemed to sense that maybe we should tone it down a bit. Just for the record I do not believe that the good sheriff thought that nasty words caused that nut bag to go out and start shooting.

And then we come to last week when the House is voting to repeal Obamacare and the Representative from Tennessee, Steve Cohen takes the floor and likens this debate to the Nazi's and how they duped the German people into hating the Jews. Who the hell does this guy think he is? What kind of leader in this country would compare our government and a debate on health care to what the Nazi's did to not just the Jew's, but many "not German" people during the 30's and 40's?

This guy should stand up, on the record and apologize for his comments. I can't even come up with a word other than "dumb" to describe this idiots' words. This is the kind of crap the wiley old sheriff was talking about when he made his comments. Let's debate the issues, not make moronic, nonsensical comparisons that only further the split between left and right.

Rep. Cohen, you are an idiot for making these types of comments on the floor of the House last week, I hope you do better this week...
