It’s now a crying shame that many Americans distrust police because of their union politics.
Police unions should be non political, if unions at all. If unions, at least be supervised as some apart and distinct type of union, by Congress. I really hate to think that a/any/the police union/s can now manipulate a Presidency, just because of union demands.
I thought the same thing, however, as have you and others, when I read this news earlier, about Kerry’s fundraising gaming. Not like, these days, anyone can avoid thinking things like this through to the optimum use as to who benefits from what and why.

Do you suppose he got a lesson on unions from his buddy Ted Kennedy? Boston is his home field. After all, Joe Kennedy supposedly had the backing of the unions in the 60’s when JFK was running for office as “favor” from his under world buddies. Who’s to say that Kerry isn’t manipulating things to his advantage. Wouldn’t put it past the Democrats to do something underhanded.
Steven Taylor suggested the same today at PoliBlog.
Dang. I thought I had an original idea. I posted the same thing this morning.

Even more glumly, I do believe that *the situation in Boston* is a lot of why the Democrats are convening there.
Apologies for hijacking the thread:
