“I think he makes a very, very important point regarding the unbelievably misleading tactics that are being used by the big labor bosses back here in Washington, DC, in what I think is a desperate and transparent attempt to help the Democratic minority in the Congress regain control of this institution. I think it is very telling and very significant because it is a clear indication of just how out of touch they are with average working Americans, the very people that they purport to represent. Let me cite some basic statistical information at the beginning of my remarks. I think we know that the labor bosses here in Washington are opposed to fundamental reforms, the most significant changes that we have been trying to make back here in Washington over the last year and a half, since the Republican Party became the majority party in both the House of Representative and in the Senate. These labor bosses, again, I am not talking about rank and file working men and women, but the labor bosses back here in Washington who have become the core constituency of the national Democratic Party and almost the campaign arm of the national Democratic Party. These labor bosses here in Washington are opposed to cutting spending to balance the Federal budget.”
