House Republicians Growing a pair!

The House of Representatives has gone on a five week recess and did so without having an vote on energy production. The Dems do not want a vote and have to go on record before the election as telling the average American to get bent over high energy prices. (They are in the pocket of Environmental Extremists) The Republicans are not having any of this and are still on the floor of the House. I love it! If the Republicians want to win a landslide, this is the issue. Its a winner! We do not need ta credits for expensive energy costs, we need more energy. The American people know this and the Democrats are on the losing end of this.

Unions and the libs that support them.

I can hear it already!

Wal-Mart Stores Inc
said on Friday it has held meetings with U.S. store managers warning them of issues that could arise if Democrats win power and pass a law that would make it easier for workers to unionize, but stressed it was not telling workers how to vote.

Wal-Mart opposes proposed legislation called the Employee Free Choice Act, which would make it easier for workers to unionize by signing a card rather than holding a vote.

"We believe EFCA is a bad bill and we have been on record as opposing it for some time," Wal-Mart spokesman David Tovar said. "We feel educating our associates about the bill is the right thing to do."

The Wall Street Journal reported that about a dozen employees who attended meetings in seven states said executives told them employees would be required to pay hefty union dues and get nothing in return, and warned that unionization could force Wal-Mart to cut jobs as labor costs rise.

The Journal report said Wal-Mart human-resources managers who run the meetings do not specifically tell attendees how to vote in November's presidential election, but they make it clear that voting for Democratic presidential hopeful Senator Barack Obama would be tantamount to inviting unions in.

"If anyone representing Wal-Mart gave the impression we were telling associates how to vote, they were wrong and acting without approval," Tovar said.

Wal-Mart, which does not have a unionized U.S. workforce, has been the target of union-backed groups that criticize the retailer for everything from its pay practices to its health care benefits.

Trust me, the media will have an anti Wal Mart orgy! Its okay for unions to take dues from members and give it to Democrats when many of the union members are not Dems. Its okay for unions to use strong-arm tactics to force public votes on membership, but if a private corporation has any sort of anti union tone, its suddenly open season. If Wal Mart goes union, all heck will break loose.

None Today

I had too good of a day to go on a rant about Obama today.
