Paul to cross picket line for Leno appearance.

Another scab...

Thinkprogress:

Later today, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) will become the second presidential candidate to cross a Writer’s Guild of America picket line to appear on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” Tonight’s appearance will not be the first time Paul crosses a picket line for a TV interview. In December, he appeared on CBS’s The View despite the show’s striking writers. According to Reason, who asked Paul about the strike, he “doesn’t care about the unions or the pickets.”

OK, Paul is toast. He knowingly did that and doesn't care about unions. I might excuse goofing up statistics or misspeaking here and there but there is NO EXCUSE for knowingly crossing a picket line. He now falls into the ASS category.

I forgot to add that unions built this formerly great country of ours. Unions are what put the kids in schools when they helped with child labor laws. Unions gave us the 40-hour work day, which we don't have anymore. Union people were ready and willing, and did die when our country turned on them and Pinkerton's people killed the coal miners. Union people got good wages for teachers, who are mostly women, otherwise, they would probably get paid like they were some babysitters. Unions gave us some decent TV shows and let me tell you, the TV is off at the cat's house until the reality TV shows go back to the stinky muck they crawled out of. There's no "reality" in "Survivor." Plaaeeezzzz.
