Something tells me that this is a theme that successful Republican candidates will be hitting on in 2010:
Labor leaders are calling the shots in Washington, and taxpayers will pay the cost for bailing out GM’s health care and retirement plans, ‘protecting’ unionized jobs through Buy America, and spending hundreds of billions on public works jobs that utilize mostly unionized workers. If Card Check ultimately passes, you can add that to the bill.
Barack Obama and the Congressional Democrats are taking money out of the pockets of taxpayers and putting it into the pockets of unions. Our candidates need to make that clear to the voters.

eburke (Diary) Wednesday, June 17th at 2:35PM EST (link)I didn’t think our side had the ability or the stones to actually put something like that together, much less air it.
Any chance we can get these guys to run the national party?

Bravo - Time To Call Out The Unions
Swamp_Yankee (Diary) Wednesday, June 17th at 4:31PM EST (link)That came straight from the Reapublican party. Usually its pro-business PACS that take on unions directly. Republicans traditionally have avoided it.
No one like unions and unions are never going to vote Republican. Now, with the budget crisises everywhere, people are seeing government largess first hand. There is even an anti-union movment in Massachusetts.
Just come right out and pound them.
not just the unions
molybdanthan (Diary) Wednesday, June 17th at 7:10PM EST (link)They will triple-tax every last cent in the state, and not lose sleep over it. But, someone else is not getting any mention as a continuing drain on Ca’s economy. Bad as the gov workers are, they’re not quite illegal. Pinning the blame on the unions shifts it away from the non-resident migrant workers. That’s the other 2-ton gorilla pummeling the good people of the Golden State into submission.
Unions have served their purpose
izoneguy (Diary) Wednesday, June 17th at 4:34PM EST (link)they are no longer needed. They have just become another lobby of thugs.
The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.

This is exactly what needs to be going on.

The time for pulling punches is over. One of the things that has afflicted the GOP nationwide is that our Leadership seems to not to be able to distinguish between people who can get over on our side, and people we never ever will.
Public Employee Unions and, in general Union Leadership fall deeply into the latter category.

This is being run on television I hope, and is not just a web ad?
Confession
avgamerican (Diary) Thursday, June 18th at 10:36PM EST (link)I belong to one of those CA unions. But I sense that several of my co workers are not rubber stamp voters for their union backed initiatives. 1A through 1E were voted down overwhelmingly in CA and I think this is a reflection of the disunity. The GOP could win on the economic issues. In CA it is more about the progressive radical issues and the heavily favored dem demographics that have taken over. Accept for a few small conservatives areas, the dems thoroghly dominate the landscape.
too bad even the repubs
