1. I guess the firefighers union

are right wing trolls.

Everyone who doesn't robotically support the democratic party, anyone who isn't part of the Obama personality cult...must be a troll.

2. The Party does take various groups for granted. The country

is angry and in pain and there is no change in behavior on the
part of the party.

I see this as the Firefighters seeing the need to work on
their state activities. Being challenged in every state it
seems.

DC Democrats have been noticeably silent and continue
to permit the Republicans to set the agenda.

The people are concerned with no jobs and a bleak future.

Washington is busy trying to see how much of the Safety
Net they can take away from them. Ryan and Democrats
trying to out do each other on how much they can cut.

4. +1: These same "democrats" are fast dismantling Masshealth

cutting even emergency dental care for medicare recipients and the poor, while cutting previously covered drugs even if medicare pays for all or the lions share of these fast diminishing coverages; and they are doing it by stealth. They are doing this at an ever faster rate till soon, there will be nothing left of the threadbare safety nets in Ma.

It is very hard for Pugs to win here in Ma. So, following DLC and Rahm's lead and advice, many pugs and rightward leaning, run as democrats and the Union busting is just one of the devastating downsides of that duplicity. All being done quietly under the radar.

Nobody is catching on because elderly and the weak have no power whatsoever to even complain.

But the unions do and may save us all in the end.

5. What does this have to do with Obama? He would not support this!

You've got to be kidding me!

8. What good does it do for the firefighters to support state level Dems

It's the local Dems that are screwing them, in Mass. anyway.

The national Dems are spineless, it's true, but they aren't actively trying to take anything away from the union.
