NO UNION BUG ON LIEBERMANS "HUG BUTTON"

by: ctkeith

Fri Jul 28, 2006 at 13:46:47 PM EDT


Marion couldn't wait to hand Trueblue one of the Brand New "Hug Buttons"  picturing Joe Lieberman and Bill Clinton hugging which the Liebermam Campaign debuted today.This Button was created as a way to counter the Now famous "Kiss Button" which inspired the "Kiss Float" which is Follwing the Liebermans Bus tour today.To Everyones amazement THERE IS NO UNION BUG ON THE HUG BUTTON.

Heres a message for John Olsen,The AFL-CIO and every  union member in CT:

  Joe Lieberman,His Staff and his Campaign just  gave you the Biggest F*#K You anyone who runs as a Democrat can. They think so little of you and the entire Labor Movement that having a union Shop make their "Hug Buttons" wasn't important enough to even think about.Your endorsement was the only thing that mattered,not your workers not your families and not the Quality of work union workers guarentee.

  PS-Every Dump Joe Bumper sticker and "Kiss Button" has a union Bug. WHY? Because it was that important to us that we made sure of it.

You can call AFL-CIO headquarters in Rocky Hill At (4.00 / 1)
(860) 571-6191 and let them know you're outraged that the fatcats who endorsed  Joe Lieberman are very out of touch with their Rank and File and this proves just how out of touch,

Or send them an e-mail (0.00 / 0)

JL's non-verbal positions on the issues... (0.00 / 0)
Unbelievable... almost.  Consider the source.

PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong, but IF Mr. Lieberman is really riding a bus around the State (- a BUS??-) it is likely neither hybrid nor fueled with biodiesel.  ( A "screw-you" to our fresh air, our global environment, and a HUGE waste of gasoline and oil, by the way.)  I know his war in Iraq has a lot to do with oil, but give us a break.

So, screw the Unions, screw the Environment, screw Personal privacy (etc.,)...
Oh, but... VOTE for him!?  No, but thanks for the cloud of filthy exhaust as you pass through our towns...


Congrats on getting under Lieberman's skin ctkeith (4.00 / 1)
You are this year's champ at CT political psych operations.

Who could have predicted a kiss by an unpopular Prez and constant reminder of it would drive the Lieberman campaign completely bananas?  You did of course!


NO KIDDING. (0.00 / 0)
It really is astonishing and quite fun to watch all of this happen - even from out of state.

Keith - once again THANK YOU ONE MILLION TIMES for The Kiss, The Float, and The Buttons.

What a masterful piece of civic resistance to fascism.

Credit Dad with the Float, please... (4.00 / 2)
Just an incredible demonstration of initiative and determination!

ctkeith was occupied with taking care of his kids Yesterday (4.00 / 2)
Ed and Jon manned the kiss float that Dad spent manny many hours building and then more hours repairing when it got wet.

I'll take credit for http://dumpjoe.com/ and being the first to believe Lieberman could be taken down but there is literally an army of Nutmeggers and an even bigger army across this country who are making this Happen.

We have 10 days left.The Float will now be on the road as much as possible.It's our "GET OUT THE VOTE KISS FLOAT"now and will be in West Hartford this morning and New Haven Tonight and it's stocked with FREE KISS BUTTONS wherever it Goes.

Liebermans Literally Raking in Corperate Bucks by the bankfull Daily.Lets show the Corperate owned DLC wing of our Party nutmeggers can't be bought by Kicking Liebermans ass By 10 points.PLEASE get everyone you know to the polls to make this happen.

Heres the latest report from "The Kiss Float" (4.00 / 1)
Which tailed the Lieberman Bustour for a while today.

Just back from Naugatuck, Seymour and Ansonia. Attendance at the last 2 was zero - Joe and Hadassah were left to waving at me and the float.


What a fitting audience! (0.00 / 0)
That gave me a real chuckle, Keith.  They must have been mortified!

I think the biggest "fuck you" from Lieberman to the AFL-CIO was him voting for the Oman Free Trade Agreement, which was FIERCELY opposed by the AFL-CIO, just a few days after getting their endorsement.

Having campaign material with no union bug is just the cherry on the top of a big fuck you sundae.

Let me plug a quote into Lieberman's thought bubble when he saw you ctkeith... (0.00 / 0)
"I really hate that guy and his buttons!"

You and the Kiss float must be haunting his dreams by now.

If no one showed up at Lieberman's last 2 stops, his staff must really be incompetent.  I mean where are those CT Dem Establishment folks, like Nancy Dinardo etc, who claim to support him.  They should at least form an entourage with Lieberman.

What were the stops before like?  How many showed up or were they just counting passerbys?

10, tops, for that visit plus the float!

Joe Lieberman Should Buy That Bus (0.00 / 0)
He and Hadassah might have a lot of fun motoring around in it once he retires in January.

This picked up by (0.00 / 0)
Atrios and Steve Gilliard, even before I finished my coffee this morning.

Does the union bug appear on Joe's other campaign literature? (0.00 / 0)
Just curious.... I toss Joe's stuff after reading so I don't have anything to look at. I know it's on all Lamont items right down to the business cards and round stickers. What a laugh if it is missing from more Lieberman items.
