Those Republican lefties!!!

Just how far has the Republican Party descended? And how far has the “center” as perceived by the mainstream media moved to the right? Courtesy of Angry Bear, here is what the Republican Party had to say about labor unions in 1972.

The skill, industry and productivity of American workers are the driving force of our free economy. The Nation's labor unions, comprised of millions of working people, have advanced the well-being not only of their members but also of our entire free-enterprise system. We of the Republican Party reaffirm our strong endorsement of Organized Labor's key role in our national life.

. . . . We are for the right of American workers and their families to enjoy and to retain to the greatest possible extent the rewards of their own labor.

We regard collective bargaining as the cornerstone of the Nation's labor relations policy.

Nowadays, the Democartic consultants would caution the Democrats not to sound too partisan with a ringing, radical proclamation like that.
