Romney calls those on the NLRB "stooges"
According to talkingpointsmemo.com (link below), Romney was in was in South Carolina when he made this comment. He was in the SC district where the new Boeing plant is. It's the plant that was built to break the Boeing union on the west coast, that was the decision by the NLRB. Romney further added that this decision was furthering class warfare in the nation.

Ok, class warfare, by my definition is where union members with decent salaries want to keep those jobs, going up against a company that wants to slash salaries and benefits, and builds a plant in a non union state.

Romney's definition seems to be that class warfare, is those union members trying to stop non union plants and jobs, in other words the middle class against those in the lower paid class.

When I see "stooges" I think 3 stooges. Romney is one of the 7 or is it 8 stooges, running for President.

1. With every word he says he makes his idiocy clearer
The hypocrisy of these idiots is just painful. Boeing tries to destabilize and partially bust the union, not class warfare. The union being granted legal relief under the law of the land, class warfare. WTF? Does he even know what class warfare means?
