No one should be surprised. The Union is a pawn of the Delco Repub Machine-its President was recently in the news for some bad conduct. In 2006 it backed corrupt Curt Weldon, backed Sestak in 2008 because he couldn’t lose and was the incumbent. When Lentz wins, they’ll have egg on their face. Question to the Union Pres-With budget overruns and Meehan’s pledge to cut spending, and wars winding down, where do you think the jobs will be cut? Your membership will shrink if we are unlucky enough to have Pat Meehan in Congress.

Delco Observer – eggzackly.

I’m shocked.shocked I tell you!!!!Delco has a corrupt republican machine that cares not a whit about the welfare of its citizens?????Oh dear!

sounds like this union is a “we’re for what’s going to happen anyway” union. They can read the writing on the wall as well as anybody else in delco. lentz is toast.

corruption…..hmmm. an incumbent congressman in a tight race loses after the fbi announces an investigation of his daughter. daughter is never charged. congressman is never charged. The only corruption was the influencing of a congressional election by the fbi/clinton backed candidate.
Some vague allegation of corruption is how you pathetic democrats in delco excuse your inexcusable losses when your demographics have grown for years.

Is this Union backing Sestak or Toomey?

“The only corruption was the influencing of a congressional election by the fbi/clinton backed candidate.” @Fred Flintsone – who was president of the United States in 2006 and who did he appoint to head the FBI? Looks like your wacko conspiracy theory is … well… just rubble.

Tony,
Haha good one. But theory is accurate. Curt angered so many folks and the 06 wave was already so big that one seat didn’t matter.

I like how AIM doesn’t seem to notice that every time the economy comes up, Pat’s 2nd talking point (after tax cuts, of course) is weakening labor. Fred, if you ever come up out of Bedrock, you can see corruption here first hand. The union endorsement is like a two dollar bet at a horse race, and it is usually worth as much to the union after the election. And while the union has endorsed Dems, Joe Sestak in 2008 wasn’t exactly a long shot (anyone remember Craig Williams, he came within 30 points, it was like a Globetrotter Game) and since the last 4 Dem Presidential candidates took Delco, neither was Obama (he won by more electoral votes than GW won by popular votes). Their only other Dem endorsement was Nick DiFrancesco, who is a Steward in AIM (which is a big deal in a shop with thousands of workers). The rest are all R’s all the time. The 2009 Delco AFL CIO meet the candidate’s night was as fair and balanced as fox news. The moderator actually spoke on behalf of the Republican’s during the event.
Fred, I don’t know if Delco is futuristic or archaic compared to Bedrock, so try to be prepared for anything.
