   AKA being a paid spokeswoman for the unions.

   I have an idea on how the govt can reap billions of dollars to stem the financial crisis and pay for new spending. Just nominate every democratic politician so that they will all pay their unpaid taxes. Problem solved.

   …are now using the same old Washington tactics…

   I’ve been hearing that phrase for over 20 years now.

   Perhaps it should be called the “same old response”

   What’s so hard about finding another unqualified person capable of being controlled by the unions whose spouse did pay their taxes? There must be thousands of ‘em running around.

   Why is Hilda so special…?

    Can’t Obama find one honest person of integrity and character to nominate for his cabinet positions?

    Anyone see a pattern here? Actually, it’s not a pattern at all but a straight line of blemished nominees.

    All of Obama’s past and current associations are tainted.

    Obama is inexperienced, over his head, and winging it. This man should never have been elected. And they said Palin didn’t have the experience to even be Vice President? Obama has a neon sign on his back that says “I’m Lost, don’t follow me”.

    I’m puzzled. I thought she had withdrawn her name from the nomination. Did I miss something?

    Its all coming more clear. Obama is reaching for complete chaos. I just heard he signed an executive order to provide only union labor can work under stimulus money. With this kind of Chicago corruption it won’t matter who heads up Labor. Its really the death of our nation. Free loving people will not live this way and there will be repercussions.

    Sigh. Not quite.

    Her NumbersUSA score (F-)
    Seems that she might be good at representing “workers”, just not the American ones…

    Just more proof that the original Dubya, George Washington, had it right with his cabinet:
    Secretary of State
    Secretary of War
    Secretary of Treasury
    Attorney General (debatable)

    All the others are a waste of taxpayer money.

    No, then paying taxes would be mandatory. It is optional for Democrats currently, while mandatory for us.

    Unfortunately, “fairness” is a buzzword in the liberal vocabulary for taxing the rich and spreading the wealth. And that includes them.

    Mr. Stern is simply “clueless” about the disgust of Americans for the choices of President Obama’s Advisers for his Cabinet and heads of Agencies. Solis for Labor will push the “unconstitutional ban on employees’ rights to ‘secret ballots’ to vote on unionizing”. Secret ballots protect their identity and themselves from persecution! Simply put: That is wrong on every level!

    I find it impossible to believe that President Obama is NOT just a “puppet” for his far-left leaning Advisers, and his ACLU, Soros, Planned Parenthood, big Labor, anti-family, etc., campaign contributors!

    Other than President Obama’s disturbing & questionable choice of an active member of the “International Socialists Party” (Is he a member, too?), all of his choices resemble a “Rogues Gallery” of un-indicted, un-prosecuted felons guilty of tax-evasion and other undisclosed crimes!

    (Reminders from previous articles of yours)
    Additionally, his choices for Justice Dept are among the favorites of the “far-far away” leftists!

    The worst choice by far is Confirmed AG Holder. His law firm represents GITMO detainees from Pakistan and Yemen. The nominee for Deputy, Ogden, has represented the Porn Industry, Planned Parenthood, Am Fed of Abortion Providers, and People for the American Way. Nominee Perrelli believes in Assisted-Suicide & Euthanasia (represented Terri Schaivo’s husband’s right to pull her life support plug) and abortion on demand. Nominee Dawn Johnsen served/trained with the ACLU and she has represented NARAL for years! Need I say more?

    Send emails to the Senate Judiciary Cmte members (list found on the Senate website). Use their official Web Forms and ask them to block President Obama’s Labor and Judiciary nominees.

    “Speak out or forever hold your peace” is more critical than ever BEFORE all Americans, conservative newspapers, Radio/TV, are permanently silenced and lose their “freedom of speech” and rights of re-dress and to dissent/complain to our Govt. That is next on the left Agenda! jb

    Quickly slipping away are Americans’ rights to positively influence and protect our American culture from further erosion because of the almost total “disconnect between the citizens and Washington’s self-interested, self-indulgent” White House & Congress! jb

    “She has every qualification for someone we need to lead the Secretary’s role at the Department of Labor.”

    It’s difficult to argue with facts and truth as spoken by union leaders, which doesn’t happen often, and only a Democrat-Corruptocrat could think that this would be a welcome endorsement.

    The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) blasted a web video to 60,000 online activists Friday asking them to support Solis’s confirmation. In the video, SEIU President Andy Stern asks viewers to sign a petition to back the California Democrat for the Labor position.

    Video?
    Hardly surprising given that probably half or more of the members of this union are under educated and don’t even speak or understand English (Harry Reid’s illegals), which means the video had to be translated or put out in a foreign language and couldn’t be in written form. Think back to your last stay in a hotel.
