Yeah, That's Motivational

Considering the "look-at-me" attitude that has threaded itself through Palin ever since her selection by McCain, you would think she would have at least said "you know who I voted for, I voted for us!"

Something tells me she has finally realized that she is in WAY over her head.

Wal-Mart Seems To Be Telling Employees How They Should Vote

From an article by Chuck Bartels and Anne D'Innocenzio of AP:

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest retailer, denied a report Friday that it had pressured employees to vote against Democrats in November because of worries that a bill the party supports would make it easier for workers to unionize.

The measure, called the Employee Free Choice Act, would allow labor organizations to unionize workplaces without secret ballot elections. It was co-sponsored by Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic presidential candidate, and opposed by John McCain, the presumed Republican nominee.

A report in The Wall Street Journal said the Bentonville, Ark.-based discounter _ which has rigorously resisted being unionized _ had held mandatory meetings with store managers and department supervisors in recent weeks to warn that if Democrats take power in November, they would likely push through the bill, which the company says would hurt workers.

Wal-Mart spokesman Dave Tovar told The Associated Press that the company did discuss the bill with its employees, including what it sees as the negative impact, and noted that the company's stand on the legislation is no secret.

The Wall Street Journal originally carried the story.

This doesn't suprise me at all. Wal-Mart has made a name for itself by providing a job with barely a living-wage, little to no healthcare opportunities for its employees, and has fought against unionization for as long as I can remember.

Wal-Mart will do anything and everything in its power to destroy the middle-class that it so loudly proclaims to champion.

The Greatest Election Year Ad Ever

I've been trying to find the Republican "response" ad to this since I found out about this yesterday afternoon. Many of us know that the Republican party ( primarily your hard-line conservatives and neo-cons ) is the party of 'against' and not for. With that in mind, this video is more powerful and more honest than just about anything they could possibly come up with.
