And Huckabee is telling us he is not a wolf in sheep’s clothing? Oh, did I just say that? What I meant, is Huckabee a Democrat in a Republican’s cloak? I think so.
This is a quote from one of the comments left at this MSNBC post:
Wow! The Machinist & Aerospace union always endorses a Democrat. This is really surprising.
PAINTERS UNION ENDORSES HUCKABEE — From NBC/NJ’s Adam Aigner-Treworgy
The 170,000-member International Painters Union endorsed Huckabee, per the governor’s statement. About 30% of the union’s members are Republicans. This is the first time the union has endorsed a GOP candidate in more 100 years. It is Huckabee’s second union endorsement; the first was the Machinist & Aerospace Workers Union.
The Painters union also endorsed Hillary Clinton last month on the Democratic side. Previously the Machinists & Aerospace union also endorsed both Huckabee and Clinton.
Hey, maybe I have not been around long enough, but I cannot remember any union ever endorsing a Republican. It is just amazing that Huckabee has the gall to claim he is even remotely conservative in the mold of all true conservatives! And people want this guy as their president, why?
