Clinton and Unions

More evidence Hillary won't be any friendlier to unions than Bill was. One of her top aides, Mark Penn, is the CEO of a firm currently engaged an anti-union campaign. I love this quote from Penn:
“Senator Clinton’s well-documented support for pro-union causes would not in any way be affected by some clients in a firm related to the corporate network of one of her advisers. There is no connection whatsoever with her pro-union record.”
Apparently, one can have close advisers that are anti-union, but remain solidly pro-union. I have some Republican friends, but I wouldn't ask them to help me run for President. Of course Penn also points out that he is a Dem through and through. It just so happens that he is a union-buster.

I'd like to remind my friends who have already resigned themselves to knocking on doors for Hillary that this is what the Clintons and their ilk brought us...a Democratic Party that is comfortable with being anti-labor.
