The Union Health Plan

...Union bosses and their socialist comrades on the Left (like Michael Moore, the Democrat Party, et al) have been demanding "Health Care for All" since we were among their union ranks. Their goal: Import the single-payer Canadian health system (or a variant of it) here to the U.S.

This election cycle, the union bosses are spending $45 million of their members' money to promote socilaized medicine. [Note: While they can call it what they like, it will be socialized medicine...if not sooner, then definitely later.]

After seeing the video below, we're sure you'll agree that Ted Kennedy should have gone to Canada to have his brain surgery...The nation would have been much better off....Canada that is. Imagine having a big US mega-star politician sitting on your waiting list to get medical attention.

[We also think the union bosses should have their medical care done in Canada for...say...three or four years (long enough for the waiting lists to cure them of their their delusions, or they die off...one or the other would be just fine)...]

In any case, check out the video below and you'll see why the AFL-CIO, Change to Win bosses, and their Democrat puppets are wrong on this issue.



Also, check out the producer's website, Free Market Cure, it seems to have a bunch of good reading on there.

Is Democrats Porking Pork-Barrel-Loving Union Lobbyists Becoming an Epidemic?

We always suspected (actually, we knew) that Democrats are in bed with union bosses. However, lately, there seems to be a growing epidemic of Ladies from the House of Labor fostering (shall we say) "relationships" with Democrat lawmakers.

This comes to us courtesy of AFSCME lobbyist Janice O'Malley and her boyfriend Larry Galizio, a Democrat lawmaker in Oregon.

Mr. Galizio, it seems, is having trouble understanding how his extracurricular activities could influence his decision making under Oregon's ethics law.

“I’d be glad to discuss the substantive issues that affect my district but otherwise, I’m entitled to a private life,” Galizio says.

Geez, Galizio, all you need to do is ask the billionaire New Jersey governor Jon Corzine who would rather increase the taxes on the citizens of his state than draw the ire of his "ex"-sweetheart and her union (the Communications Workers of America) by being fiscally responsible and cutting state worker budgets.

In addition to the governor giving $6 million to "end" his relationship with this union boss, the taxpayers of New Jersey are still paying for their relationship.

If you need more edification, Mr Galizio, on how your "relationship" porking a pork-barrel-loving union lobbyist can influence you, read this article, it might enlighten you, you Democrat dolt!

The NEW Democrats' Oath of Loyalty

A variant of the following is making its way through the vast e-mail cyber-chain, so we thought we'd make it a little more poignant...

The NEW Democrats' Oath of Party Loyalty:

"As a party loyalist, I do solemnly swear to blind obedience to the following beliefs:

1. I am against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. I believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity;
2 1/2. I believe that the AFL-CIO created the middle class, not the employers who created the jobs.

3. I believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. Nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. I believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. I believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUV's.

6. I believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. I believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

8. I believe that the same teacher who can't teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

9. I believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

10. I believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. I believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make "The Passion of the Christ" for financial gain only.

12. I believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. I believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. I believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison, and A.G. Bell.

15. I believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. I believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.

17. I believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. I believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and a sex offender belonged in the White House.

19. I believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

20. I believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese Government is somehow in the best interest to the United States .

21. I believe that this message is a part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

22. I believe that it's okay to give Federal workers the day off on Christmas Day but it's not okay to say "Merry Christmas."

Stay tuned for the Republican Oath of Loyalty...
