Dems are having a bit of bad luck lately. Since they are in the fight of their lives, the Union decided to strong arm them or not support them...

Give in to our demands or else

quote:
A letter distributed Friday by the Laborers' International Union of North America (LIUNA) to the districts of 27 House Democrats calls for union members to make sure their representative "feels the power and the fury of LIUNA this November."

quote:
"For every action, there is a reaction, and our reaction to this frontal assault on our way of life needs to be loud and clear. If you do not stand with us, we sure as hell will not stand with you," O'Sullivan wrote, noting the jobs Keystone would create for union members.

The letter:

Full 4 page letter

quote:
Last month, the North America's Building Trades Union and LIUNA met with the American Petroleum Institute to press Obama on approval of the pipeline, linking the delay to broader anger at the administration within the labor movement.

"Our anger doesn't just stop with Keystone XL," O'Sullivan told The Hill in March. "We are extremely angry about the Affordable Care Act and the fact that there is 12.8 percent unemployment in construction."

They are a part of the old Democratic Party - the one that actually created jobs and cared about middle class Americans. This iteration of it is controlled by disparate special interest groups who pull the party one way and another and there is no coherent vision for the betterment of America.

Leftists all wanting their piece of what is left of the American pie.

Good for the Unions. They are part of what is wrong with America, but at least they go to work instead of sitting around being artists and poets like Nancy Pelosi dreams about.

I think they are spot on with this. I always give credit where it's due.

That Union better get ready to switch political parties, because, the Democrat Party will strain every sinew to stop Keystone.

This New Left Radical Democrat Party favors De-Industrialization for the USA, not more oil & gas development.
