McCainocrat Pledge for Union Labor
Sign the John McCain pledge        
By BERRY CRAIG
            MAYFIELD, Ky. -- "Guffmanian" posted a tongue-in-cheek "Ex-Hillary Fans for McCain" Pledge on the Daily Kos Internet blogsite.
There are various versions of the pledge for "McCainocrats," folks who aim to prove their loyalty to Sen. Hillary Clinton "by ignoring her call to support Obama and supporting McCain," according to Guffmanian.
            The blogger explained, "You've asked yourself WWJMD (What Would John McCain Do) and you've decided to vote against your own interests and principles while furthering Senator McCain's. Before you're allowed on the band wagon, we are asking you to sign the following oath. A McCain presidency will mean different things for different people, so we have tailored the oaths accordingly."
            Guffmanian didn't post a pledge for union members planning to jump from Clinton to McCain. Apparently, there are a few in my neck of the Kentucky woods.
                   Here's a pledge for them and others elsewhere:

                   I, _____________, swear, or affirm, that while I voted for Sen. Clinton, I want to be a "McCainocrat" and ride the "Straight Talk Express" all the way to the White House.
              John, I promise to stand by you as you
                   -- support a national right-to-work law
                   -- oppose the Employee Free Choice Act
                   -- oppose the prevailing wage on construction projects
                   -- oppose protecting overtime rights
                   -- oppose extending unemployment benefits
                   -- oppose increasing the minimum wage
                   -- support NAFTA and CAFTA
                   -- oppose bargaining rights for federal employees
                   Also, as a card-carrying union member, I pledge to
                   -- be glad when we all get right-to-work for less, which means that everybody can freeload and enjoy union won wages and benefits
without paying union dues
                  -- smile when the boss - a fellow McCain supporter - closes the plant where I work and moves production to a cheap labor country
so he can get richer by shafting some poor foreign guy and me
                   -- be thankful for our "free enterprise" system - meaning "union free" - even when I lose my good union job and end up
flipping burgers with high school kids for minimum wage or when I can't find any other work. (In my spare time - and until the electricity gets turned
off because I don't have a job and can't pay my bills -- I promise to watch Fox News on TV and listen to Rush on the radio because they know, as John
and I know, that unions are what's ruining America.)
                   Thank you, John McCain!
