There was something vaguely worrisome about the President's acceptance speech that has me hoping that his next term doesn't turn out to be four more years of compromise, not change. To see if you picked up the same vibes, visit my Listen Here! page.
So why doesn't the AFL-CIO shat a shadow movement to create an American Labor Party-keep it simmering the below the surface to keep Dem electeds honest?

Greg, I couldn't agree with you more, which is why I've been saying that the AFL-CIO has actually been hurting their members and working people in general by giving the Democrats unconditional, unrequited love in the form of campaign contributions and get out the vote efforts. The current "two" party system is slowly destroying the labor movement because the GOP, with the help of some Democrats pass hostile anti-union laws and the Democrats passively allow it to happen! If it is to survive, labor has to stop deluding itself and grow its own political representatives in the form of an authentic labor party.

I am just an average middle-class guy who is convinced that there's no one on Talk Radio who speaks for us. I want to change that situation. I want to get on the air and say the things that you've always wanted to say. The big corporate interests have their lobbyists, I want to be your voice. Just think of me as your guy looking out for your interests.
