So all those Republicans and Independents have turned against unions because they didn't support single payer or support adding $100s of billions to the deficit in a real jobs bill? When I think of what's changed in the past couple years to precipitate such a drop among those two groups, certainly seems like we're far more a focus for Fox News and other conservative media than we were 5+ years ago.
But I certainly agree with your larger point -- if we don't do something big, with vision, soon, we (union porkchoppers, union members, and the working-class at large) are fucked.
