McConnell: Zero Republicans Support EFCA ‘Because We Have Very Enlightened Management In The USA'

[Are_grits_groceries]

Yesterday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) promised that no Republicans will vote for the Employee Free Choice Act (EFCA), should it come to the Senate floor. In order for the bill to pass “the Democratic members will have to do it,” he said.

In a speech before the business organization Commerce Lexington, McConnell explained that the reason for such uncompromising opposition is that workers don’t actually want to join unions due to the “very enlightened management in this country now”:

McConnell said the AFL-CIO wants the measure approved because “private sector union membership has declined from a high of 35 percent in the 1950s to 7.5 percent now.” That has happened “because we have very enlightened management in this country now, treating employees better and employees have decided they don’t want to pay the dues.”

2. He has a point

His "managers" keep sending him back to the Senate, so they must either be very enlightened, or as dumb as post!!!

Personally I'd go with the "dumb as a post" description.

6. He's a post turtle:

“You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up

there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder

what kind of a dumb ass put him up there.”
