Hillary Reveals Her Anti Working Class Credentials

Unread post by Turkeytop »

In the final days of her campaign, Hillary has shown herself to be nothing more than a Tea Partier in drag. She shares with them the same pro- capitalist, anti- working class ideology.

The final night of her campaign she will be joined by by her pal, serial Union buster, Bruce Scabsteen.
Bruce Springsteen to Perform at Hillary Clinton Rally in Philadelphia

Bruce Springsteen will join Hillary Clinton, Barack and Michelle Obama and Jon Bon Jovi at a rally in Philadelphia on Monday, the night before Election Day.


Both Springsteen and Bon Jovi will perform at the Independence Hall event in the crucial swing state. Clinton will also deliver her last speech to the American people before November 8th. RSVP for the event at Clinton's site.


In an interview with Rolling Stone, Springsteen said he believes Clinton would make a "very, very good president."


Springsteen, who staged a pre-Election Day 2012 concert with Jay Z in support of Barack Obama's reelection in the swing state of Ohio, will be making his first appearance on the campaign trail this year.

Although the rocker hasn't been as politically active this election, he's made it clear that he is tremendously opposed to a Donald Trump presidency.

"The republic is under siege by a moron, basically. The whole thing is tragic," Springsteen told Rolling Stone in September of the Republican candidate. "Without overstating it, it's a tragedy for our democracy. When you start talking about elections being rigged, you're pushing people beyond democratic governance. And it's a very, very dangerous thing to do. Once you let those genies out of the bottle, they don't go back in so easy, if they go back in at all."


Springsteen added, "The ideas he's moving to the mainstream are all very dangerous ideas – white nationalism and the alt-right movement. The outrageous things that he's done – not immediately disavowing David Duke? These are things that are obviously beyond the pale for any previous political candidate. It would sink your candidacy immediately."


The rocker admitted that his lack of involvement in this year's election had more to do with his own feelings about "the limited amount of impact" he would have.


"I haven't really lost faith in what I consider to be the small amount of impact that somebody in rock music might be able to have," Springsteen said. "I don't think people go to musicians for their political points of view. I think your political point of view is circumstances and then how you were nurtured and brought up. But it's worth giving a shot when it's the only thing you have."


Springsteen added that, at the time, he wasn't sure if he'd been approached by the Clinton campaign, but if he was he "would take it into consideration and see where it goes."

Springsteen Will Cross Picket Line for Cleveland Show

August 05, 1985|United Press International

CLEVELAND — Bruce Springsteen will cross picket lines to perform Wednesday night in front of 65,000 fans in Cleveland Stadium, a Belkin Productions official said today.

Striking members of Local 85 of the Ushers, Ticket Takers, Doormen and Guards union are planning to set up picket lines at the stadium over a wage dispute.

There had been a question of whether "The Boss"--who is pro-organized labor--would honor the strike and cancel his performance.

Concert promoters, however, said they have received assurance from Springsteen representatives that he will perform.

`BOSS' LETS WORKERS DOWN AND CROSSES PICKET LINE

Published: Oct. 15, 1992


Bruce Springsteen tarnished his image as the working man's rocker Tuesday night when he crossed a picket line to perform a concert in Tacoma, Wash. Protesters from a number of city employee unions set up a picket line around the municipally managed Tacoma Dome in support of a strike by more than 200 city clerks. The workers hoped Springsteen would cancel his performance, but the concert went on as scheduled. However, the Boss did comment on the situation to fans. "I know there's a little controversy going on outside the Dome tonight, and I'd like everybody to know that I'm not here to play in the interest of the city, I'm not here to play in the interest of the management of this building, or with anybody else. I know a lot of you folks came a long way to be here tonight, so I got a commitment to be on this stage."

They had a right to be there. It's called freedom of assembly.

Hillary has the right to associate with anyone she wants. But, by associating with a slime ball like Springsteen, she is revealing her true colours. This is the same Hillary who can attend a Union meeting at night, and the very next morning, have a meeting with Wall St. bankers. She's a phony.

Think about the job she's running for... she's got to walk a fine line and try to cater to multiple interests not just labor.

As for the protesters in the second story... they have freedom of assembly sure but there's a difference between crossing a picket line where someone works and crossing one randomly formed to get attention. I'd have crossed it too and I'm a union guy. They were very clearly opportunistic and in the wrong on that and at that point crossing the picket line of those clowns was just fine. Strike sure but not randomly wherever just to make a point. Do it out front of your employer. That's the strongest possible point you can make. Otherwise you just annoy and irritate everybody. It's essentially illegitimate as strikes go. You can't just form a picket line somewhere and say "Hey supposedly pro union guy, if you cross this picket line we randomly formed here at a location and event with no connection to our jobs then you sir are an asshole and a fake". It just doesn't work. If he had business with the city clerk and crossed that's another matter. It's a gotcha move by sleazy picketers and nothing more.

Sure, she has to walk a fine line. But, by associating with someone who is demonstrably an enemy of the working class, she is showing her true allegiance. But then, she might even have Satan perform at her rally, if she thought it might win her some votes.

I'm ashamed to say that my own Union is backing Hillary. We supported her, even against Bernie.

Neither Hillary nor her alleged rival, Donald Trump, have even acknowledged the working class. They are both obsessed with winning the votes of the middle class.

A pox on both of their houses!

The middle class is (or maybe was) mostly union. Your burly autoworker or pipe fitter was NOT working class. The guy at McDonalds is working class.

What is it you do or did by the way.

Hillary can only get people to her rallies by having celebrities perform, no matter how washed up they are. There is no enthusiasm for that criminal.
This is a pro-Harris/Walz account

There's much more support than that and you know it. Enthusiasm doesn't necessarily mean much anyways.

Enthusiasm got the current clown in the office elected. The election is going to be decided by who actually gets out and votes. Its close with a slight Hillary lead based on 2008 and 2012 electorates. Clearly both candidates feel Michigan is close or they would not be spending so much time here. If Hillary somehow loses Michigan, she's done.

It's a game of feigning it being tight to get Trump to waste time here... she's up 5+. Early voting was dismal for Trump in several states such as Florida and Nevada. He's in trouble before it even starts.

Hillary will win the election. A close race. A narrow margin of victory. But she will win.
However the final result might not be known until the sun comes up the next morning.

And then of course Donald Trump will belly bellow "Rigged Election" as he insists he has won. Then he'll take his loss to the courts.

Meanwhile his zombie white guy followers and their abused women will get their guns and gather at newly called post-campaign rallies - to bitch and moan. And somewhere in America one of his mentally ill crackpot followers (or two) will get in a gun battle with cops. Of course coward/bully Trump will disavow any responsibility for all the post election violence and threats of violence.

Finally Trump's untreated Narcissistic Personality Disorder will be on full display as it goes beyond affecting his own actions and causes his weak-minded followers to take actions that will render them injured, in jail, or plotting Tim NcVeigh-style terrorism.

Do not count on Donald Trump to lose like a man. Instead count on him to lose like a child who flips over the checker board, stomps off, and retreats into the arms of his mommy. In this case - his porn wife. She's publically acknowledged she has two little boys - her son Baron AND his father, Dumbass Donald.

Let's hope most of America is weary of this Don's worn out dog whistle show, closes down the traveling circus tent, and leaves the remnants of his obnoxious banana republic strong guy movement ... on the tin-foil-hats HEAP of world history.

God Bless America and the truely couragous patriots who support our constitution - upholding freedom - instead of spreading fear.

Stock markets are rallying today, on the news of Clinton's exoneration by the FBI. More proof that she's Wall Street's girl. They own her.
