(13,616 posts)To offer an analogy that may be rude, but makes the point:
The Unions were the lognsuffering wife of the Democratic politicians. They were the ones that cooked meals, bandaged clothes, tended wounds.
The Democrats decided, in a midlife crisis, they wanted something more. So along came Clinton, who showed the Democrats how to get some action. Many democrats answered the call, and in the short term they got results.
However, like many tales of this sort, the Democrats realized these painted ladies of Wall Street were heartless. Hell, even the GOP old boys cannot count on them, as the two greatest Pimps, aka the Koch Brothers, decided to form their own "Tea Brothel." But there is Bill, saying we have to enter the house on the right.
And you can tell the suckers by theiract s, even if they wear Union Lapels, they are still willing to turn that blind eye to the way the Unions have been treated.
