95. No, I don't mean that feel-good BS.
Sure, it gives lip-service to collective bargaining and equal pay... but look at reality. It's laughable that that joke of an organization is held up as something comparable to a law which would require companies to adhere to those principles. You don't know how they betray labor... un-frickin-real... Wal Mart is the biggest employer and what do they get away with? Milking the public sector for subsidies to provide for their employees. It's astounding that you consider that joke of an organization as anything but that -- a joke.

It seems to me that you're being disingenuous. The Telecom Act and the Bankruptcy bill are two glaring examples of DLC influence watering down the way this party defends the public interest... not that either party has ever done much of a job of that to begin with... the DLC just makes it officially a goal of the party to serve corporations over people.

So Al's still affiliated, huh? I guess it's not so surprising that Al goes around talking about the need for responsible trade... hot air I guess. Just like Clinton's.

Sickening.
