MSNBC's Maddow: Democrats can’t win without the unions



There are several holes in her misleading argument:
  1. Democrats have ability to,and in fact - DO, collect hundreds of millions from wealthy and corporations ..... as attested to by Dear Leader's non-stop campaign fund raising
  2. Contributions to Republicans are ALL totally voluntary whereas labor unions collect member's dues with the force of law behind them and "donate" the money to Democrats
  3. Although the Koch brothers are sugar-daddy donors to the Republicans, the Democrats have George Soros and Warren Buffett
  4. The reforms in Wisconsin were NOT TO ALL UNIONS, only to public sector employee unions and not even to all of those [clipper]

" Democrats can’t compete in the future with the kind of funding disparity that results when unions can no longer seize parts of workers’ paychecks without asking. But Democrats can’t compete because of their alliance with these union bosses and the sclerotic, entrenched bureaucracies they spawn and grow. If Democrats really want to compete, they need a reality check with actual voters rather than kissing the rings of Big Labor." [Hot Air]
