uh oh
Here on a layover, I was watching Hardball (don't ask me why--it was on while I was on the phone)
Anyway, I happened to look up and see a Presidential candidate (who didn't have white hair) shaking hands with a lot of supporters after saying that he wasn't going to accept public funding.
I coulda sworn I saw a portly, mustachioed, John Prater shaking hands with him.
Glad I never "Backed the Pac"
Almost didn't recognize him. I thought "gee that guy looks familiar"...then it dawned on me

It's definitely a dilemma.
Do you support a candidate that favors labor or do you support a candidate that wants to repeal the Railway labor Act, gut worker's rights and allow cabotage? John McCain has pushed for all those things and more.
Unless you have a seat on the board of directors yourself, guess what? You are labor. All those who support politicians that legislate bills that harm labor are our enemies.
I have been a lifelong republican but the past 8 years and the though of 4 more of the same is too much. Guess which Predident had the balanced budget? Guess which party has run up record deficits and failed to do anything outside of betraying the identity of a CIA agent, used bogus intellegence to develop policy and ignore everything outside of the beltway?
