Goes to Senator McCain. The Republican genius has always been to get the average American to vote against his class interest. I offer this up as Exhibit A.

thishereboi -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 5:55:25 PM)
Walmart employees need a union? Yea, I am shaking my head too, but probibly for totally different reasons.

bipolarber -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 6:00:53 PM)
Hooray McCain! Sticking up for corporate interests! Squashing the little guy! So... he's anti labor union... and... he was bought by Exxon-Mobil, in exchange for his position on offshore drilling. and... he's pro- fast and cheap nuclear plants... and he wants to put up "dirty" coal plants... Gosh, who wouldn't want to vote for this kind of guy? One who represents the best "government that money can buy"!?

thishereboi -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 7:11:08 PM)
My hatred of unions has nothing to do with McCain.

You keep bringing up the 1.3 million that McCain has gotten in campaign contributions.. Psst Obama has received money from that industry too... And then you just gloss over the really fun ones like lawyers and law firms... who have obviously bought Obama because they have bribed him with 20.7 million... the list goes on and on, and you choose to call a total of $1.3 million a buyout. Here have fun looking around these links, breakdowns by sector, and even shows the top 15 recipients for each sector. Updated July 28th http://www.opensecrets.org/pres08/sectorall.php?cycle=2008 I keep fogetting the rule, Republicans just want to pollute the environment and rape the planet so that the folks that contribute to them can rape the American people.

Not exactly my idea of a good endorsement. According to the linked article by the OP Wal Mart is spending 48% to back the Democrats and 52% to back the Republicans. Seems they are on the fence with this election's contributions.

Termyn8or -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 8:25:50 PM)
thishere, lose the hate, remember it is optional. You fight better when you are clear headed. Also, IMO a Walmart endorsement for McCain is the best pro Obama thing I could see. T

Thad, By George, I think he's got it! ;) (humming, "The Rain in Spain...)

quote: ORIGINAL: thishereboi My hatred of unions has nothing to do with McCain. You hate the 40 hour work week? Why? You also hate overtime pay? Again why? You hate being allowed to go to the restroom at work? Why? I could go on asking why you hate all the things you wouldn't have if not for unions but the list would get long and tedious. Suffice it to say that I doubt you have any idea what life would be like without labor unions.

I have to say, the IDEA of unions in the workplace is great.. However, the practice isn't as great as it sounds. Unfortunately, a lot of people abuse their "power" when they're in a union, and it ends up giving unions a bad name.

cloudboy -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 9:20:19 PM)
Why stray off the reservation? Keep your eye fixed on Walmart, the great friend of the working man, here and abroad.

What exactly is this an exhibit of? How is this McCain's fault? Man, you Obama worshippers have to come up with something better than this crap. You're not getting my vote with bullshit like this.

cloudboy -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 9:28:58 PM)
Actually, this goes way beyond the candidates.

slaveboyforyou -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 9:49:12 PM)
Yeah that's why you typed, "Goes to John McCain." [8\|]

NumberSix -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 9:59:48 PM)
Personnally, I am going to blame it on Hillary Clinton, aint she a big throat in the Wal-Mart scheme of things? A voice box, a tie, a corporate lawgiver? Just getting back at Obama? 6

Sanity -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 10:08:25 PM)
Does Obama and the Democrat party in turn own their endorsements from the likes of Hamas, Cuba, or other various terrorists and / or enemies? Or is that somehow different. quote: ORIGINAL: cloudboy Goes to Senator McCain. The Republican genius has always been to get the average American to vote against his class interest.

Termyn8or -> RE: The Walmart Endorsment (8/2/2008 10:14:32 PM)
If you had any fucking idea how nasty Walmart is, you would figure that any enemy of their's is a friend. I'd bet my bottom dollar that almost every Walmart employee is going to vote for Obama. I have read things about them, many of them easily verifiable, and I personally know someone who works there. Want the details ? Just evoke me again, I will find the information and be happy to post it. T

Hey, glad you're gung-ho for slave wages and union busting. More power to you. Like I said before, this is way beyond the candidates. I'm sure it makes you all warm inside thinking of the Waltons --- some of the richest people in the world --- refusing to pay their workforce a living wage while outsourcing all their production to Communist China.

Yes we all know that Wal-Mart is evil. How dare they resist efforts from union infiltrators. How dare they only pay their employees the same pay that almost all retailers pay. Look at Michigan with the highest unemployment rate in the country for the paradise that unions create.

I didn't say anything about unions, I asked you about Hamas quote: ORIGINAL: cloudboy Hey, glad you're gung-ho for slave wages and union busting. More power to you.
