Apparently the senator from Arkansas has been watching some Simpsons Reruns:
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Sen. Blanche Lincoln says business and labor groups, not lawmakers, should be the ones to work out a compromise on a union organizing bill.
Lincoln said that she still opposes the Employee Free Choice Act and doesn't think the legislation should be considered while lawmakers are dealing with health care and other issues. Business groups have opposed the act because it would allow employees to unionize by signing cards instead of holding secret ballot elections.
Democratic lawmakers are working on a compromise version of the bill that may remove the so-called "card check" provision. Lincoln said any compromise would need to come from business and labor groups.
Lincoln spoke at the Arkansas State Chamber of Commerce and Associated Industries of Arkansas annual meeting in Little Rock.
Clearly big business will "come together" with organized labor and restore the same rights that they have methodically destroyed from existence over the past 30 years. I actually heard Senator Lincoln say this same thing during a lobby visit several months back and assumed she was just rambling. Nope, apparently she really is so clueless that decided to make this idiocy one of her main talking points on the Employee Free Choice Act.
And aside from the mind blowing stupidity of that comment, there's nothing like a LAWMAKER deciding that she isn't in the business of MAKING LAWS. With firm convictions like this, how can she lose?

ReplyDeleteIt's like The Daily Show pointing out that the pro-rape coalition was trying to claim that the american government has no business deciding who the american government does business with. What is wrong with these senators?!
I will never vote for this witch again!
ReplyDeleteI was driving south on Hwy 71. There was a lot of traffic (unusual) due to slow traffic in the left lane (yes, the passing lane).
Traffic was trying to pass in the right lane because of a car in the left lane going slower than the speed limit.
Enough cars passed in the right lane that I was now behind the "problem". It was a car driving slow in the left lane with an Arkansas license plate that read Senator. The license plate was 11. When I was able to pass in the right lane, the witch was on her cell phone!
Who does this witch think she is that she is soooo important that she can hold up the "common people"?
These politicians are so out of touch with us "common folk". We need to vote all of them out of office.
She is a hazard to other traffic, but that's okay because she is so much more important than the rest of us!
Blanche...you're fired!!!
