AFL-CIO Endorsement of Democrat May Wait

This Yahoo / AP story reports that, given the large field, the AFL-CIO may wait on endorsing a Democratic candidate until after the nomination. This can't be good news for Gephardt, who has made a career of union affiliations. Note that individual member-unions are free to make associations as and when they choose.

I remember when political organizations were collections of like minded individuals.

These days, dem leaning political organizations are collections of mindless individuals.

Yeah….then came unions. All those hard working donors that get their hard earned wages sent to the last guy in the world they would vote for. Pretty sad.

I wonder if those union donors fully understand the real reason as to why all of their jobs have left this country……but hey…….it was good while it lasted.

And hey…..the union bosses….they own Las Vegas! By the way, they said your contributions were greatly appreciated.
