The Employee Free Choice Act. Not only does its name mean the opposite of what the bill portends to do, it also is representative of very un-democratic principles.
The bill allows unions to represent companies with a non-secret ‘card-check’ rather than having to resort to those pesky secret ballots that seem to be such a problem for labor in the last thirty years or so. The current secret ballot union elections are federally supervised – subject to observation to ensure fairness, whereas a ‘card check’ allows potential union members to be approached at their homes or in other intimidating circumstances to sign a card in front of a union rep.
Even if what the unions are offering is good, and valid (which is certainly debatable), how can they be believed if they need to use an aggressive non-secret method for forcing themselves on private business?
The House passed this bill in March, and the Senate is going to vote on it soon. Maybe the House Democrats should look to their own words to the Mexican government in 2001:
“We are writing to encourage you to use the secret ballot in all union recognition elections…We feel that the secret ballot is absolutely necessary in order to ensure that workers are not intimidated into voting for a union that they might not otherwise choose.”

But then again, “republic party” is another term for group think.

My point is that the Democrats bristle at the mention of this silly term, as though they have a firmer hold on democratic principles.
I dare you to defend the card check bill. How does it encourage democracy in any way.
McCarthy. What a joke. Try reading a history book.
Misrepresentation of the word seems to be an MO of yours:

You’re just awful. Are you capable of debating facts or just namecalling and posting Wiki links? I don’t think you’d post here if you couldn’t anonymously shit on people.
I disagree with people like Parsing and even Sir Robin, and we manage to try to stick to facts.
Please try to at least add something to the dialogue.
What does being upset with a bill that takes away a secret ballot process have to do with McCarthyist tactics?
in the first comment… McCarthy was apparently a proponent of using “Democrat Party” and some have said that his use has given the term a McCarthyist taint. I think that’s where Blue is going.
I would understand. I honestly think it’s childish. But I also resent the Democrats pretending to adhere more to democratic ideals and with a straight face try to pass crap legislation like this.
Thank you for elaborating.
Good post, ignore that other fool. I think you’re dead on, which is why he didn’t want to debate the merits of you assertion
