2. Circle-D They love the corporate wad

You'd have just as easy/hard a time starting a Labor Party as prying their lips away from the corporate zipper.

Circle D - insert cash here, then organ.

3. LABOR leadership has to rebuild reputation FIRST!
Labor is a dirty word and Unions are even dirtier. We let the repugs and tpartiers get by far too long with the demonization of workers and unions. the Teachers' unions are taking a beating now, as are govt employees at all levels. We need leadership that can UNITE the labor force to common goals. The unions allowed the scumbags to rise to the top and gave the detractors lots of ammunition to demonize and "outcast" the union representation. I know that my daughter was a member of the union at the airport and they did good by her.

5. The media would demonize them if they tried
The stupids who would listen are many in number

already labor has been portrayed as 'angry' and 'privileged' at the same time!!!
