MY thoughts HUMMMMM

My thoughts are this. I think that you have a bunch of idiots that have responded to this article and they are a bunch of cool aid drinking Obama Suck ups. What has this guy done that is so awsome for this country in his entire public service life?

As far as the conservative judges and the whole Employee free choice comment this Puke must be a union guy who couldnt hold a Job in the real world and is probably getting ready to out of work from GM cause he makes to damn much money and doesnt do near enough work but is protected by the _______ Unions in this country.

It's 2004 Redux

Gay marriage. War on churches. Can the war on Christmas be far behind? I suppose if we've solved the economic crisis, Iraq, Afghanastan, Iran, global warming, energy independence and Linday Lohan's sexual identity crisis, we may get back to worrying about Newt's pet issues and he'll have a chance. Then again, if these issues are "solved," Obama's approval rating, already high, will approach 100%! So good luck, Newt.

Before you slam someone else

you better have your swollen ego removed.

check.

Eternal optimist?

Old Newt has an unlimited supply of contracts on America. He just keeps throwing them up against the wall hoping one will stick sooner or later.

Romney is the best chance for the GOP

All the other contenders, including Gingrich are a fricking joke. As a Democrat, I would love to see Charlie Crist and Mitt Romney become chairman of the RNC or some other effort that would keep them out of the 2012 race. I wouldn't even have to bother going out to campaign for Obama again, although I'd probably do that anyway.

The real battle

with card check is whether we will enable workers with a tool to undermine the "doctrine" of Employment at Will. This, you may recall, is an unlegislated thing given to you by conservative judges that says the only "contract" most people can have at work is "to agree in advance to be fired at any time for any reason or no reason"

Read YOUR employee handbook. Then use your noodle and get the Employee Free Choice Act passed--------NOW, while you have the right legislators and president to get it done.
