• Thanks for the joke Dumbka. When "O" wants to send you more money and hidden contracts, I bet you change your mind in a N.Y. Union minute.

• Yeah, unions are so angry with Obama that only 90% of them will support him in the 2012 election. If he had his druthers Trumka, a big leftist, would support the communist party but the rank and file would revolt.

• They make this threat every four years and they never follow through on it. I was in a union for almost 20 years. When I talked to my co-workers I figured out that about 40% voted Republican. This is backed up in polls. But they would take our union dues and support the Democrats.

• AFL-CIO honcho Richard Trumka says unions may dump the Democratic Party.

  BWAHAHAHA!!!!
  What are his options? The Communist Party of America hasn't got the pull he needs.
  He should team up with Jeff Dunham for a new comedy routine. Dunham could use a new dummy!

• There is always room in the Communist Party.

  • For who? Those with communist leanings have been in the DNC for years. They are 60's radicals who tok over the party, but the "hope & change" they wanted has'nt come fast enough.

• The problem the AFL-CIO has with ObamAA+ is he's not far enough to the left. Trumka seems to have missed the 2010 elections, & what the voters meant by it. If Trumka, who is little more then a heart attack in a suit just waiting to happen, & his troops decide to leave the DNC, they will form their own party. If this were to happen, they would swallow the DNC, plus they work have "worker's" in their title.

• Ha! So he admits that they employ the Democratic party!
