Working Fer The Man

Don’t Believe the hype. The Dems are not the Answer

Like my man FlavaFlav says so well, “Don’t believe the Hy-y-y-ya-ipe.”  VP Joe Biden gave a rousing speech Labor Day trying to trick us poor working people into believing one more time that the Democrats are going to help unions fight the terrorist tactics of the bosses and their courts and their lackey politicians.  Biden may indeed be a little more pro worker, maybe even more than a little, than the new breed of corporatist Dems,  but when it comes to staring down the big bosses who finance his and Obama’s campaign he/they will blink.   They have to because that’s their job.  Democrats pretend to be an alternative to the Rethuglicans, but voting for the lesser of two evils is not the answer.  They should change the Democrat symbol from a donkey to a coyote.  They have truly become the party of the trickster.

The Trickster

“We’ve been through a lot of fights, but this is a different kind of fight,” explained Biden. “This is a fight for the heart and soul of the labor movement. This is a fight literally for our right to exist. Don’t misunderstand what this is…. You are the only folks keeping the barbarians from the gates.”

Sounds good, but that’s the way the trickster plays his hand.  He speaks the truth but ……… Don’t believe the hype.

My Man -- in the day!
