    Just where in this article did Marion Berry say he would oppose card check? It sounds much more like a typical democrat telling the audience he was in front of what they want to hear.

    We can’t be having Unions. Not after all that work that the Right put into trying to destroy the middle class that Unions helped create.

    After 8 years of policies that almost (and still may) destroy the middle class; we can’t have anything that will bring back prosperity and growth.

    Prosperity leads to more Liberalism; better that we all go down the toilet than that happening.

    Kuni, good stuff but remember that sarcasm is hard to pick up sometimes. For a minute, I wasn’t sure if you were using sarcasm to make a good point or quoting David “Stephens” Sanders.
    SunDog, you have a good sense of color.
