Robert Ehrlich said "Eighty-seven percent support welfare that requires work and is of limited duration. They also support a balanced budget amendment by a huge margin, with 82 percent of union folks in favor of a constitutional requirement that Washington keep its fiscal house in order. More than three-quarters of union families in this country voiced their support for tax cuts for working families. Demagogues hate facts. That is why the big union bosses who love big government, who want to buy this Congress, issue "report cards" such as this one. They cannot stand facts. They cannot stand the light of day. They cannot stand the fact that people that work for a living, people that built this country, are not bought and paid for by the left wing of the Democratic party, as they are." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
