Labor fears bias may hurt Obama

The Democratic Party is a Trojan Horse and the people of this country know it. The Dems use race-baiting, sex-baiting and every other kind of divide and rule policy they can think of. The funny part is that never seem to learn. Unions members should be allowed to hold anonymous voting. Union heads like Gerald W. McEntee are nothing but corrupt bureaucrats and should be booted out.

OK, lets get to the bottom of this: blue collar union workers supporting Obama...now, it would seem like just another Demo candidate getting the union vote, but...no other Demo candidate has EVER been this far to the left...Obama HATES gun ownership, loves abortion, and his economic policies will shut down the very companies these union members work for...the reason Republicans today don't like unions isn't because of the union idea itself (making companies accountable on how they treat their workers), but because of their use as a political tool and the corruption in upper union leadership (we know the leg-breakers are still out there!)...I hope union members will go into the booths in November, and think hard before they just pull that lever for BHO...America needs them to THINK!

Don't be afraid to vote for John Mccain because he is white. (this is for the 85% of blacks who just happen to think Obama is the better candidate)

Don't vote for John McCain because Obama is Halfrican American. Vote for John McCain because Obama is a Marxist. All the friends from whom he's had to disassociate himself are Marxists. His most ardent supporters are Marxist, evidenced by the Che flag hung in the office of one of his supporters. If you want a poorer, more destitute country, then by all means, vote Obabma. But if you want a country with a strong economy, keep government from tightening the noose around the necks of the country's entrepreneurs. And ignore the drivel about evil, fiendish "Big Business". Who pays the salaries, health care, taxes and other benefits of millions of Americans? Who buys goods and services from millions of suppliers and vendors across the country? Who is systematically beaten down by the socialists in government, yet keep getting up off the mat and getting the business that keeps America strong? Business. When the Democrats finally kill the geese that lay the golden eggs, they'll finally understand that business keeps the country going. Not government.

Nobama's restrictive policies on trade will cause thousands of workers to lose their jobs (example-heavy earth moving equipment sales to Columbia, etc). He would also promote the end of the secret ballot for which everyone has a right to. This empty suit is a danger to America's economy and it's security.

Ending the secret ballot for Unions terrifies me. If I am ever coerced into a Union, I will probably be beaten down, harassed and persectued. I will never fail to cross a picket line. I think it is an evil act of rebellion against an employer that I've agreed to work for.

I fear Obama because he has ties with known terrorists, his wife is not proud of this country, he subscribed to a religion that God Dams America, he is the most liberal member in the Senate, and he is endorsed by those lying, hate mongering union bosses. The unions always use hate and fear to keep members(not this one) under their control to collect dues so they can be a parasite on the membership. All union members are not so simple minded as to let union bosses control their lives. I don't believe those union hall lies about the Democrats being a friend of the working man. McCain gets my vote.

so if your not going vote for B.H.O. shame the white man into cast a vote for him want a scam here is a email I just received from one of my friends: Hello everyone, As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to 'The War Zone'. I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers where lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took him to the ClamShell (pretty much a big top tent that military personnel can play basketball or work out in with weights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to Soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American's back home that he is their candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make an effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Players or the Dallas Cowboy Cheer leaders than from one of the Senators, who wants to be the President of the United States . I just don't understand how anyone would want him to be our Commander-and-Chief. It was almost that he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country. If this is blunt and to the point I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

It is amazing that many white people are not going to vote for the person who's policies are literally in their best interest. The nation is at a point where the issues are going to effect homes directly. His tax proposal will really help the people who work. What is ignored is that the people who work are those who buy the most groceries, the most gas and pay the most rent. This makes the extremely wealthy more wealthy so to tax the wealthy at a higher amount won't hurt them, they'll make more money. What hurts the wealthy is when people who are the purchasers no longer can buy from them. The terorist connection bs and the his wife is not proud is just republican fear mongering. Everyone knows her comments were taken out of context. His terrorist connections are based on him being on a commitee for poor housing when a person on the commitee allegedly commited an act of terrorism when Obama was 8 years old. Come on working class. 4 more years of bush are going to destroy more families who need the jobs obama will create.

This article is correct; I manage a Teamster union shop and the ramblings are no way, no how Obama. It's not his race, it's his views, friends, support of card check and of allowing drug addicts to purchase hypodermic needles.

If you truly think Obama's tax proposals will really work then go ahead and drink the kool-aid, but as for me no thanks. His tax proposal will eventually come downstream to us, but go ahead - drink the kool-aid.

This is just another "race card" played from the Obama team deck. Other posters have it right... union members will be accused of being racist if they don't vote for Obama, and the same applies to all of us. Obama makes a big issue about his race every chance he gets. "I don't look like the guy on the $5 bill." Frankly, Obama doesn't look much like Marx or Lenin, two white communists, either, and probably doesn't resemble anyone on Cuban, Chinese, or Russian currency for that matter, but the whole point is that his views are socialist, populist, and elitist. Everything he says is right out of the socialist textbook, and socialism is nothing but watered-down communism. All this stuff about his religion pales in comparison to his amateurish decisions, lack of experience, a small host of radical friends he doesn't want to talk about, his constant waffling and flip-flopping on the issues, and his desire to fulfill moveon.org's mission to turn this country into a socialist welfare state. So I don't care much about what his religion is, but sure doesn't help when he said at the Saddleback forum that he thinks America has failed to follow the Scripture "Love your brother as yourself" and then he lets his brother live in an African shack, where he lives on $1.00 a month. One can only imagine what the liberal media would do to a conservative with a situation like that.

What a patently offensive race baiting tactic is being employed by these "so-called" leaders in organized labor. It just goes to show that Obama and his ilk will continue to demean those of us who don't mind God and guns. It is idiotic and racist in and of itself to suggest that race would be the only reason that an intelligent, informed voter who worker hard for his or her money would not vote for Obama.

Unfortunately, there is a bias among union members when it comes to supporting Sen. Barack Obama. Part of the reason this is being perpetuated is due in fact to the International Union Leadership's initial endorsement of Sen. Hillary Clinton as the article inferred. This early endorsement and subsequent long democratic primary only further divided union members along racial and gender lines. These lines have been drawn for years in labor and is very indicative in the make up of the leadership throughout local and international levels which allowed this divide to manifest itself into the bias we have now towards Sen. Barack Obama. I agree with Mr. McEntee that we shouldn't be afraid to vote for Sen. Barack Obama because he's black, but he should take some responsibility for allowing it to get to the point where union members are voting against their best interest. Unions historically have been great in building the middle class and championing equality in the workplace. It is a necessary entity in America. However, it has lost its way and became the same bureaucratic giant that it has been fighting against. Labor leadership and its members need to get back to the basics and remember that the union's premise is built around labor rights and you can't have labor rights without civil rights.

I am a minority and am not using the "race card"...just observation. McCain looks like a president. Palin looks like a vice-president. Cindy looks like a first lady. BHO looks like a house boy. Biden looks like a used car salesman. HBO'wife looks like a house maid.
