I'm not a big fan of the union. I have said it before, I am sure I will take as much crap from the union toadies this time, as I did the last time. Both my Father and my Step Dad were members of a union. When either of these fantastic men died, the only benefit that I saw from the union was a beautiful display of flowers.
My Father had to retire in his fifties due to his heart condition. He hated not being able to work, he often said his disability check felt like welfare to him. He hated that he had to rely on the government, and often told me about when he worked and was a member of his union.
He did something that was considered important-he talked about the lavish conferences that they had in great locations. He liked that he got to go to them and enjoy himself while his union picked up the tab. Sounds like Obama in a nutshell, doesn't it?
But then, my Father's heart took a crap and he had the first in a series of heart attacks that forced his retirement. None of his union pals called to see how he was doing when he had to stop working. None of them stopped by, none of them wrote a note or sent a card. He thought that those guys were his friends, but of the dozens and dozens that he knew- two stayed in touch. Now when he died, they sent a beautiful arrangement. I think he would have preferred a cup of coffee at McDonald's with his alleged friends from the union days.
Now my step Dad was an awesome guy. He loved my Mom- which already made him a great guy to me- but he always went above and beyond when he was doing something. He also worked in a union shop. That union kept voting in mandatory overtime and literally worked him to death. He hated doctors because of watching his first wife die slowly while being treated by doctors.
Jerry was getting to the stage in life when he was slowing down. His children were grown and gone, his house paid for, retirement was stretching out in front of him. He'd begun travelling with my Mom, they had decided to try Tennessee when they retired. Unfortunately, he also worked with many younger men who hadn't paid for their things yet and they kept voting in mandatory overtime. Go union. My step Dad worked himself to death-never getting to enjoy the life that he had built for so long.
I recently had an experience with a union. Members of this particular group bounced checks, left my store wide open and unlocked, and failed to keep their word at every turn. I wouldn't do business with one again if I had to. Especially if that bunch is the standard bearer.
I read that unions are pouring millions into B.O.'s coffers. Where do they get that money? From the saps that have to pay into it of course. North Carolina in just the latest state to allow people the choice of not being forced to fork over their money to a union that doesn't support their political beliefs. I can't wait until all the states are right to work-I believe it is coming.
The days of 16 hour work days and no day off is long past. Unions can no more continue to take credit for that than whether reporters can take credit for the rain. They were both going to happen regardless. Reconsider whether your money is better spent on yourself, or on the facility, vehicles, and perks of the union toadies. Think about it, you can thank me later.

Media Continues Ridiculous Pimping for B.O.
I read everything, I have said that many times. I am also an avowed news junkie. I have been following the election since the "shellacking" that was delivered unto the democrats not quite two years ago. That was change I could believe in. And now I read the daily polls with more and more disgust.
While I am not sold on Romney (I do love some Paul Ryan, however) I have watched the polls get tighter and tighter. I don't understand how they are able to poll B.O. so high in them until some important facts were pointed out to me.
Read the sampling that they list at the end of the poll. Lately, the numbers read something like D+7, or even D+12. In English for those of us who don't live and breathe statistics, that means that these people being polled are weighted more toward Democrats, by seven or twelve percent. In no location of our Republic outside of Chicago or San Francisco will you find that many democrats. It would be the same as if I went to a fat farm and asked who there would like a piece of candy.
I could spend a lot of this post writing about why the media and their pollsters would want to go to such ridiculous lengths to make it look like their "one" is doing so well. Perhaps, it's because they really do think that the whole world is as socialist as they are. Perhaps, they can't see past their own agenda and hope that the more people see B.O. ahead in the polls (however untrue it may be) they will fulfill the wish. Perhaps (and this is the one I tend to believe) the msm thinks we are all so stupid that we believe them when they talk, so they just tell us what they want to be true. I'll let you decide for yourselves.
Unskewed Polls shows a much more believable outlook for the 2012 election. I would often read the Gallup, Reuters, and ap poll and wonder if they were simply polling the press pool. Unskewed Polls shows that Romney has a quite a lead going. It made me sigh with relief, I'll tell you.
I have asked on separate occasions why the media is determined to carry water for B.O. While I was reading, I also saw a poll claiming that trust in the media is down to its lowest point in ages at forty percent. Who are these sheep that still believe the msm? I don't think that even slick willie's designated liar James Carville can buy it. Of course, he is part of why no one likes the media anymore, isn't it?
Don't trust what the msm tells you without independent verification. No doubt they will soon be reporting that Mitt Romney likes to butcher kittens to make his shoes, soon. My grandmama used to say believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. Think about it. You'll thank me later.

Why Does the msm Carry Water for B.O.?
I do not think that I could care less what Mitt Romney paid in taxes. I am certain that he earned it. Every penny of it in one legal way or another. I am also certain that he has gobs more money than I do. Speak the truth and shame the devil, as my Dad would have said. ( The irony of that is not lost on those that knew him)
But why is the main stream media simply obsessed with it? Not passing fancy, wouldn't it be nice to know, but digging through his Mother's trash obsessed. These people are amazed that their credibility is
in the toilet, and blames it on those FNC watching mouth breathers. I watch Fox News when I have to get information from the television. I believe that in their quest to be balanced-they give too much time to liberal idiots-Alan Colmes, anyone?
But saying that, I don't care what Romney paid in taxes. I am certain that B.O. has had his minions( msm) comb every resource legal and illegal to find any dirt that they can. If something had been found, you can believe that I would hear about it, even in my separated from the television state.
Why is it that they can trace the family roots of the guy in charge back to the days of slavery, and yet they cannot lay hands on one transcript from his college? Have you heard an interview with one person that knew B.O. back in the day? One chick that used to date him? Nope. It's as if he suddenly appeared in a crowd and the msm doesn't think that is note worthy at all.
They even came up with a term for me: birther. I wear the label with pride. The same morons that told me they knew more than I did when it came to the guy with his finger on nuclear weapons will not do one hour's worth of investigating on where this guy went to school, how he paid for it, or any of the information that Sheriff Joe Arpaio has turned up questioning the validity of the made for tv birth certificate and selective service card that B.O finally presented for the public. It seems like a pretty valid question, to me any how.
Ask yourself why that is. Granted, if B.O. were to be exposed as ineligible, that puts crazy Joe in charge. Maybe that's why the media won't do their jobs. Of course, that would be more believable if they weren't caught on mic sceming to catch Romney is a verbal trap.
Just tell me the things that happened today, media people. Don't tell me if it is good or bad, or if I need to know it. Just tell me the facts and I'll sort out their importance to myself.
Ask the same of your news sources. You'll thank me later.

Obama and Holder are Still Providing Guns to Murderers
Don't you just love irony? I know I do also. Sometimes it's just a little ironic, like when illegal aliens are complaining because they can't find work. Other times, like this example, forces the face palm with a little sigh.
It would seem that Texas and Florida also had illegal gun running activity brought to them by the most incompetent sop to sit in the Oval Office in my life time. The msm won't cover it, of course. What's a few dozen more dead, anyway. I mean, it's not as if the guy were a Republican or anything. He's just a good guy trying to do the best he can. That seems to be the narrative I keep hearing, anyway. Moreover, if he did make a mistake and cause the death of hundreds of Mexicans, it's not his fault. We all know who is ultimately responsible. Yep: W.
For those who don't know me, that was exhibit A of my course on sarcasm. I think that the media is so personally invested in the success of the current administration that they can't see any separation between themselves and him. Is it any wonder that only 40% of people that were polled still trust the media? I can't believe that there are that many dupes still willing to believe. I have to wonder if they still put teeth under their pillows as well.
But back to the gun running debacle that Obama foisted on us. Does anyone think that it wasn't intended to start a huge wave of gun violence on our borders? And what was his first response going to be? I have a dollar that says it would have been the call for more gun control laws. He told Sarah Brady that he had things in the works that he couldn't talk about. He used executive privilege to cover it all up. The media kept their constant drumbeat over Romney's taxes and failed to do their job.
Is there anyone out there who truly believes that if this were the Bush administration (either of them) or especially if this were the Reagan administration we wouldn't be hearing nightly tallies on the death count? There would be big eyed orphans on the news every single night. But I guess it doesn't matter who is being murdered with guns from an illegal gun running scheme so long as people are getting free cell phones. Crazy, isn't it?
I have a hard time understanding why so many of those media holdovers still get their panties in a twist over Watergate, and yet when it comes to B.O.'s flagrant disregard for the Constitution, you barely get a mention. It was ironic when Holder was called before Congress to lie (I mean testify) that the msm had to give a crash course on what was going on. Did they really think that they could ignore it until it went away? And they wonder why they are more irrelevant every single day.
B.O. stinks. I can't understand how anyone could call any of what he has done a success. Unless of course he was trying to downgrade our credit, create massive inflation and lose two wars that had already been won for him. If that was his plan (and I'm starting to think it was) than he has been successful beyond his wildest dreams. Think about it, you'll thank me later.

Joe Biden is Dumber than a Turnip
Do you know how to spell potato? Have you ever misspelled it by adding an extra e to the end of it? Dan Quayle did that and has been crucified by the msm ever since. A Sarah Palin statement was used in an unfunny bit on SNL and has been misquoted ever since. That useless Katie Couric did her best to catch Governor Palin in an unflattering moment. I would like to see anyone quickly list the papers that they read while being interviewed in front of millions of people. Mrs. Palin was correct in her assessment of Russia, by the way. I know that living in Florida gave me a more than passing curiosity on what was going on in Cuba. I would expect the same would be true having Russia that close as well. The patently unfunny Tina Fey rephrased it to " I can see Russia from my house" and every liberal moron repeated it as if it were the truth. Of course, you never hear any comical sketches about all 57 states. That's different.
Ahh, the smell of double standards. Joe Biden wakes up in the morning and says something stupid. I would bet my life on it. He has encourage paraplegic people to stand up and cheer-the msm gave him a pass. He mentioned someone's dead father as though he were still alive. The sound from the guardians of our press? Crickets.
Paul Ryan is a fiscal rock star, and he turns the msm greener than cheese. He is thoughtful, deliberate, and intelligent. Contrast that to crazy Joe, and the difference is night and day. So how is it that Mr. Ryan gets to be singled out for every alleged gaff, miss-statement and conceived slight? If I didn't know better, I would think that the unofficial re election squad (also known as the media) have an agenda.
Joe Biden is dumber than a turnip and he barely gets a mention. The msm seems to laugh it off like that crazy grandpa who wears his inderpants on the outside of his pants from time to time. You know what isn't funny? Joe Biden is one heartbeat away from the Oval Office!! If B.O. has the heart attack from smoking, stress, and being in over his head that we all know is coming- Crazy Joe steps up to bat! How is that for a campfire story to scare yourself with?
Biden has made stupid comment after stupid comment for his entire political career. I would be hard pressed to find one dumber than him in the next ten minutes. While I may be tepid about Romney- I am all in for Paul Ryan! Smart, well spoken, funny (on purpose) he has it all. Think about who you want in charge for the next four years. Do you want to let the current jackwagon finish destroying our Republic- or do you want to help usher in what could very well be one of our greatest Presidents ever? (No, I don't mean Mitt) Think about it, you'll thank me later.
