Waht would you expect. The NALC, APWU and NPMHU have their heads buried so far up the Democratic Party’s ass they think they are smelling roses.

Isn’t it interesting that the NALC leadership will not even let it’s own members know what the vote count was! Maybe Hillary wasn’t really the winner after all, maybe a deal was worked out with Hillary before the ballots were even sent out that they would use the NALC to back her no matter what. I was told that last election Bush actually got more votes than any other canadate in the ballot count. That must be why the NALC leadership decided to let the delegates at the national convention decide. They knew the pro-democtrate delegates would certainly pick John Kerry..and they did. That is why they did not include any republicans on this years ballot…they were not going to let that happen again,…It was not because the republican canadates did not return the pro-democrate questionaire!!! Why is that a requirement? One more thing, last time 13,000 letter carriers returned the ballots and the leadership said that number was not enough to use to decide…so they took it to the convention where only 7,000 delegates decided FOR THE REST OF US! This time they won’t even tell us how many ballots were returned, and I’ll bet it was much lower than last time. But they can’t tell us because we would ask why this years low ballot count was used but the higher ballot count last time could not be used? The obvious answer is that this time they got the results they wanted!!! This is my opinion according to the information I have been given.
