re: #675 BryanS

They’re not, but who wouldn’t vote for the side more likely to give them more favorable compensation packages for work. Of course some union members do not support the Dems, but all the union dues and those members who do support the left give unions political power. Or are you arguing unions do not have political power and therefore have no ability to persuade a politician they helped elect to give more pay/benefitcs/etc?

If Santorum promised me $500,000 a year tax-free and a 1 hour work week for voting for him, I’d still spit in his face, dude.
