Is it because they don’t like his policies? Or perhaps because they want to help Rick Santorum who opposed Right-to-Work legislation when he was in the Senate?
Several unions that back President Obama’s reelection bid are spending big in an effort to damage Mitt Romney in key GOP primary states.
Unions including The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) are making ad buys to hit the Republican presidential contenders on issues key to their members, including immigration reform and the bailout of the auto industry.
. . . .
AFSCME, the country’s largest public sector union, spent $500,000 on Internet, television and radio ads to air in Ohio that target Romney before the state’s GOP presidential primary this coming Tuesday, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records.
No, the unions aren’t out to help either candidate. Romney and Santorum are blue-state Republicans, and have behaved, politically, accordingly. The unions would never help out a Republican, even if directed by the DNC.
DaveO, I think they’re in it to make mischief and because they think Romney will be the tougher of the two leading GOP candidates to beat.
The unions are in a panic after recent challenges to their unbridled power by governors like, Scott Walker. There isn’t any limit to what they will do to get, Obama re-elected.
I don’t care about any of this right now… Ronnie Montrose is dead! RIP.
Oh, so that’s why The Bone keeps bringing up Montrose. I didn’t listen to the talking long enough to register the point.
