Liberals, do you support the unions turning back Alabama utility workers ?

The line crews drove all the way form Alabama, but because they are non union, they were forced to leave, leaving millions without power

    I listened to that same Rush Limbaugh episode and did some fact checking on my own

    Never happened

    Seriously open your eyes, Fox and Rush only tells you what you want to hear. Things that validate your prejudice against those you disagree with. And your so willing to believe them too. Just like Shirley Shirad, Death Panels and Obama's trip to India costing $200 million a day(More then the cost of the Afghanistan war $188 milion a day). I could go on with the insane lies they've told

    hmm, well here's a thought, 2 years ago your guys won a whole bunch of seat all over the place, but lets face it not really by any huge margins in most of those places. Regardless, your guys saw this as a mandate to attack unions as hard as you can gung-ho style. ..and not even the real big, bad unions either, not the UAW, not the Teamsters, no you went after the public school teachers' unions. Sweet little Mrs. Johnson from the local kindergarten.. Way to totally f*ck up them heartstrings there.

    Now, the ball is bouncing back back at you. Learn a lesson, for crying out loud. Your side was always supposed to be more reserved and prudent. Instead, you guys keep going crazy.

    And now for the truth...........

    NEW YORK Alabama power companies are denying a local TV station's report that linemen who had traveled to New Jersey from Alabama (a right to work state) to help restore power to those hit hard by Superstorm Sandy were told they could not work there because they were non-union.

    Look, a link so that you and others can read the real story about what happened.

    According to Governor Christie, that never happened.

    Also, Ingsoc1? You might actually take the time to learn what "scab" means in labor union circles there, buddy. No one was talking about crossing a picket line to fill NY/NJ union jobs during a strike.

    Do you like spreading lies? The sad thing is, I see some people actually believe you. At worst there was miscommunication and confusion -- now there's a surprise. The workers weren't turned back, they left themselves because they thought they were being rejected. My non-union cousin and his crew are down in NYC right now pitching in and nobody told them to bugger off home.

    I don't see a link. Are the doctors and nurses unions doing the same?

    That's really sad, Mayor bloomberg is a socialist, Now you can see socialist at its best when comes to helping people, If I was the NY Governor I would bring in Tanker trucks of fuel and set them in different locations fulling peoples cars in parking lots, There is a lot that they could do if they really wanted to, Some construction companies have fuel trucks come to them filling up there equipment, They can sell it right from truck. They should be doing this Now.

    Obama is a socialist, Is this what you want running this Country.

    That's funny, the Alabama utility company DENIES that it happened. Try checking your facts.
