GOP, carpenters union find things in common to discuss By Peter Kinder
AFL-CIO president John Sweeney has taken his union in an increasingly loony, hard-left direction, demonizing all Republicans and stressing wacky environmental extremism and leftist positions on a host of social issues that -- according to McCarron and his carpenters -- have next to nothing to do with the interests of working people.
Are McCarron and the union he leads ready to throw in with Republicans 100 percent?
Far from it. He has given $1.2 million to Democratic U.S. senators to help them keep the U.S. Senate in this year's pivotal races, saying the certain national Republican senate leaders 'scare the living bejesus out of my members.'
Still, McCarron says, 'I think we've got a better chance working with this president than dissing him all the time.'------------------------------------------- posted 6:43 AM :: reference link ::
