Mittens should have read this article

  1. This guy had to check to confirm to himself how many states there are. He should better familiarize himself with the state of unionization in the US and union rolls in manufacturing before he parrots the party line:

    BLS in a January 2012 press release said: "In 2011, the union membership rate--the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of a union--was 11.8 percent.....In 2011, 7.6 million employees in the public sector belonged to a union, compared with 7.2 million union workers in the private sector...."

    BLS statistics, 2011 http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat42.htm:

    Manufacturing jobs total: 13,599,000, % unionized: 11.2. 88.8% of manufacturing jobs are not unionized. Of the 13.599 million manufacturing jobs, 8.53 million are in durable goods and 924,000 of those workers are unionized. Out of 155,000,000
    civilian labor jobs, less than 1 million can't quite be deemed a credible threat to the future of the country.

    Once again, AAA is speaking out of his asshole.

    And I suppose Obama is going to come up with extra electoral votes from those 7 or 8 extra states he claims we have. He's going to need them to win.
