Winning the War on Labor

Yes, organized labor. Apparently terrorism takes a back seat to the horrific threat of government workers becoming unionized. The Democrats are moving legislation through the Senate that would implement many of the 9/11 Commision's recommendations, which the American public overwhelmingly approves. But Pres. Bush plans to veto the bill because of a provision that would give union benefits to 45,000 airport workers. Thirty-seven of the Senate's 49 Republicans sent a letter to Bush assuring him that they have the votes to ensure that his veto will not get overridden.

The man belonging to the so-called party of small government will use his 2nd veto in 6+ years. First to fund stem-cell research, and now to fund anti-terrorism measures.

The Republicans whine on, and on, and on about what message we're sending the terrorists with our every action. What kind of message does it send when you proclaim that people who want health insurance are a bigger threat than al Qaeda?

I guess they figure that if working conditions improve domestically, no one will join the military (where at least you get some health coverage).
