We the People

Unions have contributes several million dollars n Iowa to a stop BHO campaign. This include pro-HRC unions spending money on Edwards,

This smacks of the 60s when unionists walked around calling themselves "the people."

From Politico: “I’m taken aback that somebody like Obama would think that Oprah Winfrey has a greater right to participate in the political process than the 4 million people I represent,” Edward J. McElroy, the president of the American Federation of Teachers. Gerald W. McEntee, the president of the other major union supporting Clinton, wrote on The Huffington Post that “the Obama campaign’s criticism of our political action committee and some of the so-called 527 efforts, such as the one organized in support of [John] Edwards, is troubling because they are suggesting that workers are somehow a special interest, just like insurance companies and the pharmaceutical industry.”

”We fight for the general interest,” wrote McEntee, whose American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees has spent $1,409,312 boosting Clinton and criticizing Obama."

Yeh boss,.

Special DL caucus tomorrow night! by Goldy, 01/01/2008, 4:00 PM

Just a reminder that while our regular Drinking Liberally has been canceled tonight due to the holiday (ie, the Montlake Ale House is closed,) we will be holding special Wednesday night gathering tomorrow, to conduct our first in the nation presidential caucus!

That’s right, tomorrow night, Democrats and Republicans alike are invited to come on over to the Alehouse at 8PM to caucus for your favorite candidate… all caucus rules will apply. My guess? Edwards manages a comfortable win over Obama, with Clinton coming in a distant third.

Stop on by and help us make history.

SJ responds:

On Jan 1, the bar is closed because it is SJ's birthday and the 2,008th anniversary of the circumcision of the Christian Messiah, a feast day sometimes known as the feast of the Holy Prepuce. I am told this relic may be of benefit to those with electile fixation.

BTW, given the penchant for collection of various relics, does anyone know where the foreskin might be stored? I am willing o up for the DNA analysis. Imagine what might be learned?

On a more serious subject, it is my understanding that the Clinton machine has bought box lunches for its caucusers in IA.

In that spirit, the SJ family will offer an IOU of one free Chicago Brat from Costco to all votes who choose Obama tomorrow night. Onions, relish, kraut, and mustard and all the Coke product you can drink included. Pepperoncini and kosher dill on request. Multiple dates will be available with proof of purchase or receipt of a contibution of $50 or more to either the Obama or the Darcy campaign.

For those too fastidious to test the limits of election law, I have checked with DL Attorney in Chief, Roger Rabbit, and he assure me that this is fully legal since the DL exercise is merely a straw poll.

I challenge the Clintonistas and Edwardians to outbribe the Obamoids!
