Unions worse than terrorists!

February 28th, 2007

Bush and the Senate Republicans made their priorities clear:

President Bush and his Senate allies will kill a Sept. 11 antiterror bill if Congress sends it to the White House with a provision to let airport screeners unionize, the White House and 36 Republicans said Tuesday.

“As the legislation currently stands, the president’s senior advisers would recommend that he veto the bill,” said White House spokesman Scott Stanzel.

Senate Republicans swiftly backed up the threat with a pledge by more than enough senators to block any veto override attempt.

“If the final bill contains such a provision, forcing you to veto it, we pledge to sustain your veto,” they wrote to the president.

Any pretense that these jokers really believe there is a major threat from “terrorists” is beyond silly. the “terrorist threat,” for them, is simply a ruse to attack American inalienable rights, liberties, and the ability to pursue happiness. After afll, as Sy Hersh recently reported, Bush is funneling arms to al Qaeda linked groups in Iran and Lebanon.
