The unions are the shock troops of the Democratic Party, funneling loot and political power solely to that one party regardless of the politics of its members, and in the case of public unions, with money paid by taxpayers of all political stripes.

With public unions, their ideal situation is a Democrat in office "negotiating" sweetheart deals with Democratic unions, using taxpayer money. The unions grab the goodies and kick back heavy donations. What's not to like?

The Democrats, and leftist buttmonkeys like Olbermann, are going to fight for that power and loot tooth and nail. And they are.

Tell me, do you think taxpayers should cough up support money for a union member who voluntarily strikes? Isn't that what their goddam DUES are supposed to pay for? Maybe the unions could take some of the $100 million plus a year they pump into politics and cough up some support for their strikers.

Where did Olbermann finally end up? Oh yeah. GoreTV.
