Welcome, Union Brothers and Sisters
by Sarah Palin on Tuesday, September 6, 2011
In my speech on Saturday in Iowa, I said: “Between bailouts for Wall Street cronies and stimulus projects for union bosses’ security and ‘green energy’ giveaways, [Barack Obama] took care of his friends. And now they’re on course to raise a billion dollars for his re-election bid so that they can do it all over again.” This was shamefully on display yesterday at President Obama’s taxpayer-funded campaign rally in Detroit. In introducing the President, Teamsters President James Hoffa represented precisely what I was talking about as he declared war on concerned independent Americans and on the freshman members we sent to Congress last November by saying, “Let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out!”
What I say now, I say as a proud former union member and the wife, daughter, and sister of union members. So, as a former card-carrying IBEW sister married to a proud former Laborers, IBEW, and later USW member, please hear me out. What I have to say is for the hard working, patriotic, selfless union brothers and sisters in Michigan and throughout our country: Please don’t be taken in by union bosses’ thuggery like Jim Hoffa represented yesterday. Union bosses like this do not have your best interests at heart. What they care about is their own power and re-electing their friend Barack Obama so he will take care of them to the detriment of everyone else.
To the same degree Americans are concerned about irresponsible, greedy corporate execs who got cushy bonuses from taxpayer-funded bailouts, we should also be concerned about greedy union bosses who are willing to tank our economy just to protect their own power. As union history shows, power and greed corrupt. Just because you claim to represent union members doesn’t mean you are on the side of the angels. The greed of too many of these union bosses has all but destroyed the labor movement in this country, helped chase away our jobs, and is killing the American dream. (emphasis mine)

Quentin,
You are an imbecile and a thug. Do not pretend to speak for conservatives on our support of Sarah Palin. You are no conservative, and your continued hints of violent threat are growing old. The TEA Party stands for freedom in this country. As their proclaimed enemy, what does that say about you?
I can just picture Q and all the other terrorist/liberal nuts, with their heads stuck under their pillows at night mumbling “Conservatives and the Tea Party do not exist”. Good luck with that in 2012.
Yeah, Steve! Way to stand up for us against the ultimate bully, Quentin.
Q: “The recovery that had started has been killed. Unemployment is up and it looks as if they (Tea Party) have steered us over the cliff into an abyss we will NEVER recover from–all at the behest of their foreign directors–who will benefit from the fall of America.”
Holding a loosly affiliated group of Americans responsible for the trainwreck that is our sluggish and dying economy, rather than the one man whose policies direct and shape that economy, or the members in Congress of a single super majority party that held power for two years and passed Obamacare, is the most ignorant opinion ever expressed by a human being!
Quentin you reveal yourself to be a liar, a pretender, and a closet partisan/commie! How dare you!
