It's completely hypocritical, Tim. And it would be an issue if he was going to get elected. But he's not. So it only counts what he says, and that fact that he's talking a very good line is sufficient. But Lord knows we'd never trust him to implement it. If one was voting on pure union interests, I'm afraid one would have to follow Nathan and vote for Gore -- a pitiful kick in the facer who is sadly still the best on offer. And besides, as Nathan never tires of reminding us, what really counts for getting better organizing laws passed is finally getting a Senate majority some day.
All that said, I certainly can't blame you for hating Ralph.
