12. We should now all SUPPORT UNIONISM? All of us? Should we oppose the next "free-trade" agreement?

Will you join those of us that already support unionism and oppose so-called "free-trade" agreements?

Or should we only all support unionism until the details of the next wage-lowering, anti-union "free-trade" agreement are finalized and the signatures are ready to be added?

Do you realize that another wage-lowering, anti-union "free-trade" agreement is in the works? No doubt, the super-rich and Rmoney supports it.

No, not "so goes the nation" over one state. And if after this he doesn't re-tune, that is GOOD for RBInMaine Jun 2012 #3

He may consider this a "mandate," but it's quite possible that he will be indicted along with his Cal33 Jun 2012 #20
You make some valid points Savannahmann Jun 2012 #2
Yes, that is true. I do mention that the signature and primary campaign then a short general cam- RBInMaine Jun 2012 #4

You keep mentioning Walker's huge cash advantage MannyGoldstein Jun 2012 #9
Maybe he means that it wasn't necessary for the DNC to directly provide the $500K Barrett requested. AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2012 #13
They contributed at least $1.4 million through various means and more would not have helped. Play RBInMaine Jun 2012 #15
They didn't contribute $1.4 million to Barrett's campaign after the primary. They had the money. AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2012 #18
The DNC and MANY OTHERS helped. You risked and lost. Learn from it and move on. No blame games. RBInMaine Jun 2012 #30
Aren't you one of those who said that the DNC's earlier help prior to the primary was sufficient AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2012 #33
He had a big cash advantage, but that was not the ONLY dynamic and anyone who thinks so is refusing RBInMaine Jun 2012 #14
How do you feel about Howard Dean's 50-State Strategy? MannyGoldstein Jun 2012 #19
Yes, good, fine, like it, it's right. But you're comparing apples to oranges here as I've said. RBInMaine Jun 2012 #29
That's certainly some of it. It's certainly not simply about the amount of the money HereSince1628 Jun 2012 #7
Another thought about why Walker might of won. He is not fond of the law, and has a history of midnight Jun 2012 #10
You just proved with your own statement the recall was a bad move. Only 27 days to campaign. That RBInMaine Jun 2012 #16
"My people"???? The nurses, or how about the teachers???? midnight Jun 2012 #27
"Your people" means Wisconsinites in general. The idea of recalling a sitting guv didn't sit well RBInMaine Jun 2012 #31
Very good post. JNelson6563 Jun 2012 #11
Thanks. Appreciated. Repeated polls prove these points. RBInMaine Jun 2012 #17

I think you can support both free trade and unions davidpdx Jun 2012 #22
How did you come up with the idea that "free trade" and unionism are not mutually exclusive? AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2012 #23
I have actually studied economics davidpdx Jun 2012 #25
You say, "Obama supports free-trade." Now he does, but not too loudly. This is different from his AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2012 #26
I agree Obama's views have changed davidpdx Jun 2012 #28
I do not agree that Obama's views have changed. I say that his expression of them has. AnotherMcIntosh Jun 2012 #32

That is total crap. Obama was extremely right to stay of that mess so enough of that nonsense. RBInMaine Jun 2012 #24
