you should still respect picket lines and not cross them
We are talking about the REPUBLICAN primary! You know, the party that is pretty anti-union?

Oh I'm sorry, someone voted for Huckabee in my poll and I naturally assumed he was the candidate of choice for gun-toting Texas rednecks...Originally posted by SlowwHand
Same ol' same ol'. Talking trash about things of which you know nothing.
So, who are you going to vote for then?Comment

And of course none of the other candidates are standing for selfish reasons either...Originally posted by Ben Kenobi Especially not for selfish reasons like Huckabee's.

Which is why Huckabee revelled in breaking the picket line.We are talking about the REPUBLICAN primary! You know, the party that is pretty anti-union?
No, this will hurt him badly. Just because you disagree with the strikers isn't justification for crossing a picket.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

You really don't know much about the Republicans in this country do you? Let's just say that crossing a picket line probably helped him... especially Hollywood liberal types, among a good portion of the Republican electorate. Recall this is the party that still speaks highly of Reagan firing the airline workers during their strike and hates (and I mean hates) unions.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi

But not nearly enough. I mean, Hell, I'm sure Romney or Guiliani would give two ****s about a picket line.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Most of America is going though prime time TV withdrawl, they have zero symapthy for the writers even.
And there is nothing wrong with crossing picket lines. You want to stike, go ahead. You being greedy (usually) should not get in the way of me going to class/using the subway/being a patron of the bagel shop that happens to be at the bottom of the building you are stiking at. What does comedy writers striking have to do with Huckabee doing a portion of a show that has never used writing? Nothing.
Now being a scab, well that is another thing. And being a scab is what the protestors actually called him. A scab he is not."The DPRK is still in a state of war with the U.S. It's called a black out." - Che explaining why orbital nightime pictures of NK show few lights. Seriously.Comment

It'll be interesting to see how the guest lists shake out. The Screen Actors Guild has told its members to honor the WGA strike. So any actors appearing o Leno or Conan will, in fact, be scabs.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

cause the Iowa fundies who are voting for him didnt get the good word on unions from George Will? Or have you missed the high tory reaction to Huckabee entirely?Originally posted by Imran Siddiqui
The question I have is why would Huckabee crossing a picket line put him in a bad light with regards to the Republican primary?"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

The only justification for crossing one is an emergency. To cross a picket line to promote yourself on national tv looks both desperate, crass, opportunist and shows a lack of respect for the strikers.You really don't know much about the Republicans in this country do you?

True, because they see the airline workers (who are public btw), as on the payroll of the state. Private businesses are much different. Maybe you don't see a difference between public and private sector unions, but Conservatives do not like public sector unions at all.Recall this is the party that still speaks highly of Reagan firing the airline workers during their strike and hates (and I mean hates) unions.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

I wouldn't be surprised if it became common practice for people to spell surprised 'surprized' in the US in the near future.

Let me clue you in. Nobody gives a frack about breaking the picket lines.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

So if i'm going about my lawful business I can't cross a picket line on moral grounds.
Please explainSpace is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
