Rick Santorum Endorses Labor Unions
Will wonders never cease. Pigs are flying and Rick Santorum is speaking out in favor of labor unions.
Meanwhile, here in America, if you’re one of those lowly working-class types, you’d better keep your nose to the grindstone, keep your mouth shut and be grateful you have a job.
Santorum wants an Iranian labor movement to serve as part of America’s three-pronged attack: economic sanctions, a strong Iranian labor movement and American military action against Iran.
Describing his newfound empathy for Iranian workers, Santorum said:
“There’s some fomenting going and, and there’s strikes going on. We should have several avenues of getting money into Iran to help striking labor unions, to give them money so they can keep out on strike and disrupt the government and try to create the revolutionary atmosphere there.”
As for American workers struggling to pay their bills and keep their homes, Santorum’s other personality said:
“I do not believe that — that state, federal or local workers, unions, should be involved in unions. And I would actually support a bill that says that we should not have public employee unions for the purposes of wages and benefits to be negotiated.”
Quick, put him back on his meds.

every good conservative (contradiction in terms) knows that Unions are communist fronts

There are no avenues to get that kind of money into Iran. Santorum is angling to get a war started with Iran, like the good chickenhawk/crackpot-crusader neocon Republican he is.
Just heard Sen. Kerry say on MTP the supercommittee is struggling to come up with a big chunk of the $4 trillion required to get the country out of the debt hole Bush and the neocons dug for us. By the greatest coincidence, the Iran and Iraq wars, both off budget until Obama took office, cost $4.2 trillion to $4.4 trillion.
Quick, somebody get Santorum a straitjacket before he harms himself or the rest of us.
We have to be the laughingstock of the world, the way these assboils are being seen outside this country. We've got 'lil ricky doing this, Noot talking about have a "master janitor" and poor schoolkids cleaning up schools. Rather Dickensian if you ask me.
This just demonstrates how perfectly well Santorum is out of touch with reality.
The word verification is "suckl". I wonder if that means anything? In relation to Santorum, it just might. 8-)
Anyone that believes this so-called "super" commitee wasen't set up to fail from its inception should probably go sit down immediately because they lack walking around sense.
Erik: Damn right, especially that commie Lech Walesa (sp?) who obviously hated Poland.
SW: According to the conservative mindset, money for wars grows on trees. It's only domestic spending -- especially that commie safety net -- that comes that comes out of the hard-earned money of American taxpayers.
Jess: Yup, laughingstock it is. Who needs SNL or Comedy Central when America's politicians and candidates are funnier than anyone.
Snave: Maybe Word Verification and the Google-bombing of Santorum are in cahoots.
Anonymous: I hope the supercommittee does fail. Letting the Bush tax cuts expire -- for everybody -- will bring in more money than the supercommittee is even trying to save.
