And spacecraft too!
Eh, you guys are as funny as a screen door on a battleship!
Romney has a new talking point, apparently; during a conference call yesterday, he made an unprompted statement, twice, about how Obama is going to force everyone to join unions.
If I were on Romney’s staff, I’d be discreetly researching to see if there’s something that can be slipped into his food to introduce a month-long bout of laryngitis.
Good thing that Santorum isn’t the candidate or that headline would read much differently.
Description please for those of us at work who are blocked by the merciless IT department.
Here.
We could pair that headline with the squirt guns full of brown water ad we saw a few months ago.

Gremloins: don’t expose them to bright light, don’t get them wet, and never, ever feed them after midnight.

Suddenly, the Wisconsin GOP is pro-union;

Did you guys watch that Packer game last night? I mean, ha. Give me a break. It is time to get the real refs.

Meh, it’s probably their view that it’s the union forcing the refs away from work.
Romney says teachers’ unions should be barred from making political contributions. Because that could cause a “conflict of interest” if they’ve donated to a candidate who they later have to negotiate with.
You can’t see any flaws in that argument, Mr. “Corporations are people”, Citizens United lottery winner, sir? Really, Mitt? Really?
In fairness, that’s a terrible idea, but a great Republican idea.
Yeesh, I see with five minutes of Google searching that Lockheed spent $15,000,000 on lobbying last year (this does not include political contributions, just lobbying expenses) while 87% of their revenue (~ $40 / $46 Billion for what it is worth) is from Government contracts. I think worrying about the conflict of interest associated with teacher unions donating to democratic campaigns is probably much ado about nothing.
Allen West (R-FL) on the UN meeting:
As long as it’s a sparkly eagle with a tear rolling down its face, that’s all good.
Sounds more like Adam West.
Actually it sounds more like the sort of things Ahmedinejad says, or that Saddam Hussein used to say before he got eaten by a giant sparkly eagle.
Wait, isn’t this a lockout? I.e. not the union that started this particular work outage? And shouldn’t Romney weigh in on this, since he likes to fire people and knows a lot of team owners? Shouldn’t he be pro-lockout?
