FOX TV.....warning.....Kennedy calling union leaders to urge they

[bearfartinthewoods]

drop Dean, says twit 'campaign carl'














'

[jenk]

1. they will anyway

when dean drops out

[NewYorkerfromMass]

2. bear, I love 'ya but

you watch WAAAAAAAAAAAY too much Fox for anyone's good.

[bearfartinthewoods]

5. it's the newsee channel with the clearest picture/reception

i zap back and forth constantly but in the winter, cnn's sound is awful and msnbc's picture is 'herringboned'.. fox is clear as a bell

i'm almost sure it's a plot..................:evilgrin: :tinfoilhat:

[emulatorloo]

6. The picture may be clear, but the message will rot your brain!!!!! n/t

[bearfartinthewoods]

8. LOL.....helll my brain has withstood worse than fox, besides

i live deep in pubbie hell and i think watching cnn is a hangin' offense around here :grin:

[sandnsea]

9. Cable? Dish?

What's the problem? That doesn't sound right. :shrug:

[displacedtexan]

3. Unions have a meeting w/Dean on Thursday

to discuss the status of their support, I guess. Begala reported this today.

[xultar]

4. OK put down the remote and back away from Fox News...

I'm not warning you...

[Straight Shooter]

7. Really? Kennedy? Must I lose respect for ALL of them before it's over?

Excluding Dean and Clark and Kucinich, of course. My respect for honorable men never wavers.

Dissing Dean has become the flavor du jour. :shrug:

[bearfartinthewoods]

10. i think this is what endorsing a candidate is supposed to mean

when Ted Kennedy signs onto a campaign, he signs on, especially for his fellow mass senator. i wouldn't dis Kennedy for working as hard for his guy as anyone else is working for theirs.

[THUNDER HANDS]

11. I'm sure most of them are thinking about it already

Not that it matters much, I think Iowa proved that union members don't always vote as their leaders tell them to.

[corporatewhore]

12. I wonder if kennedy will remind them that kerry

supported things like NAFTA GATT WTO and bushes fast track to the FTAA
I wonder if those union members who risked arrest and bodilyinjury just to come for the protests i would like that

[lcordero]

13. that means more or less

"If we win we ain't doing anything for you unless you drop this guy."
Typical backroom politics

[BruinAlum]

14. The reality is

You can't expect them to back him forever if he doesn't pull out a win. He had a commanding lead in most of these early primary states only 4 or 5 weeks ago and sank like a rock since then.

Recently pinning his chances on MI and WI, and now polling poorly in those states. Can't put off the inevitable forever.

15. Dean's unions are going to start pressuring him to drop out. n/t

[frustrated_lefty]

16. Well, endorsements didn't help and seem to have hurt,

here's hoping losing a few will do the opposite of what is expected and actually benefit.

[Cocoa]

17. AFSCME and SEIU were only concerned about beating Bush

they had no special preference for Dean himself, they were very open about that when they were choosing between Dean and Gephardt.

This is the leadership I'm talking about.
