Survey Says....

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death...
and the valley of the left wing goobers

I was out and about reading some of the left wing blogs and past by the the First Door on The Left, who I think could be an intelligent individual if not so misguided.
He had jumped on the New York Times poll concerning cutting pay and benefits to reduce state budget deficits, and a second poll that asked about taking away collective bargaining rights from public employee unions.
He stated that Republicans do not listen to the people, and also stated that the voters had signs of remorse now over electing Walker.
Naturally I had to comment on his great skills of following the herd, and further explained that the real " poll " had been taken when the people from Wisconsin decided to elect Walker as Governor and to make a change, which is what is happening now.
The Times poll had taken opinions from everyone, and made sure it got opinions from certain demographics, meaning that the majority of those polled were from union homes, and not registered voters.
Hmmmmm, Can you say skewed ?
Bill O'Riley used a poll Thursday night in his talking points that had the reverse outcome, and used only registered voters.
What does this all mean ? Well, it could tell us, one more time that the main stream media is incredibly slanted, but we know that, it could tell us that they would rather lie to us to help get an agenda across, but we know that too.
The problem is, less than 50% of the Nation has not caught on to what is going on yet, and that forty something percent is making life hell for the rest of us and will cause a lot of damage for years to come.
This forty something percent, when it all hits the fan, will be the ones hiding in the closet with no food, and torn dirty clothes, looking up at us asking " what happened ? "

SEIU And Union Tactics

In my chosen profession of over 28 years, we have turned the union away many times.

As a group, we did listen to the pro's and con's, and were offered to many things that sounded like nothing more than bribes to sign on to the union plan.

When we voted back in the late 80's not to join into the " Brotherhood " of electrical workers, we spent the next 2 months with vandalized trucks, completed work that was later destroyed, and eventually an altercation on a job site that the union was not prepared for.

We never backed down from our decision, and as employees, we felt that we did not loose out on pay or benefits.

For that matter, because the unions were not involved in wage, leave, and insurance packages, our company could bid jobs at a more cost effective rate and keep us working.

I do not like any type of union, and think that it is a legal form of extortion.

That being said, now we have the biggest union guy Andy Stern dropping by the White House more than any other advisor, and working with Obama.

In his own words he has no problem using power to force people to do what he wants them to do.

President Obama is a strong supporter of Stern and SEIU, and declared he would paint the nation purple.

Is Stern and the SEIU members the muscle Obama plans to use to force the American people to do what he wants, or is Stern using them to force Obama to do the bidding of the unions ?

Who really is in control ?
