Seems Senator Obama has been endorsed by the Cullinary Workers Union in Las Vegas. A union of about 66,000+ restaurant and hospitality workers around the country..
Thought to be a huge feather in his cap, there's one little glitch though.. An estimated 45% - 50% of the Unions members are believed to be Illegal Aliens!! (Non-Americans). Some of them have been asking questions like: "Do we have to be American Citizens to Caucus?" Uhhh... Yes, you probably should be..
Of course, as Illegal Aliens, surely they realize they are not to be involved in US Electoral Processes in any way. Right? And I'm quite sure La Raza and the ACLU would support that too.. Right?
It's getting ugly out there folks!!

I've been seeing an Obama campaign ad. It's got to be one of the most boring, unappealing, ineffective ads I've ever seen...

When LV went through their growth boom several years back the new casino/hotels were faced with a challenge.
How do you hire 30,000 hotel workers for the new Bellaggio?
Or 12,000 for the Paris?
Many actually set up schools and training overseas and then imported these worker legally. Many of these union members are immigrants, not just Mexicans. They then want to bring their families here. This union gave support for one issue and one issue only. It was not The War!
Is there any doubt that Obama will open the flood gates?

In my estimation, almost a certainly of Voter Fraud is probable in this case. And I hope more precautions are being taken in Nevada than it would appear they are. DHS certainly needs to be deeply involved there, unless we want our elections to be manipulated by foreign interests.
CNN Interview:
Full Show Transcript Here
Democratic presidential candidates tonight are stepping up their battle to win the Hispanic vote before Saturday's caucuses in Nevada. The powerful Culinary Workers Union is to play a critical role in that effort. The union is encouraging its members to caucus on behalf of Senator Obama, but in point of fact, as many as half of the union's members are illegal aliens. Candy Crowley reports now from Las Vegas. Candy, just how concerned is the Democratic Party, if at all, about possible irregularities, shall we call them, in those caucuses?
CANDY CROWLEY, CNN SR. POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Well look let me tell you what they say and this is a couple of officials about why they think is this not a problem, OK. They say first of all, the idea that illegal immigrants who are trying to hide from the law are going to show up, sign an affidavit that they're a U.S. citizen and caucus, seems to in the words of one, to be ridiculous.
They also say that given that they really don't see how a massive outpouring of illegals could change a caucus. They said there just won't be this massive outpouring, so there won't be a way to kind of change whatever the caucus decides. I will tell you that also we spoke to a P.R. guy for a couple of these hotels here who didn't want to be named but who said, look, these are multinational corporations here, these hotels. We don't hire illegals. I know I say that at my own peril, but I'm just telling you what they're saying at this point, Lou.
DOBBS: That is delightful. That's one of the better bald face lies to emanate from any corner of this campaign so far, luckily it doesn't come from one of the candidates. But the very idea, that you know that makes perfect sense what you're -- the Democratic Party folks said, because we know that these illegal aliens, for example, would never deign or dare to march in the streets of the United States, demanding rights of citizenship when they're here illegally.
We know they would never, for example, in any way, violate law with fraudulent documents or identity theft or take jobs with improper documentation. So you're right. The nation's mind should be at ease on the issue of the integrity of these caucuses.
CROWLEY: Well, let me tell you another thing that really is interesting along the campaign trail. Our producer Sasha Johnson (ph) points out at one of these events with Hillary Clinton, somebody shouted out do you have to be a U.S. citizen to caucus? So these campaigns understand that there is in fact a language barrier and some confusion about how these Nevada caucuses actually work, so it's going to be a really interesting Saturday, let's just say that.
DOBBS: It should be an interesting Saturday. We're laughing about it here. But the reality is this is serious business. We're talking about the integrity of our Democratic process. And it's an integrity that is not being preserved through the efforts and the concerns of many state governments or electoral boards across the country.
It's a very difficult issue. So the Democratic Party, with all of the assuaging comments, what that really adds up to is they're taking no additional steps to assure that everyone who caucuses is legal and properly there within the caucus.
CROWLEY: Well, one of the things they say they're going to do here, particularly along the strip where they have these at-large caucuses where the culinary workers and others, by the way will get a chance to go ahead and caucus. They say listen they're going to have to show, first of all, an employee I.D. and they are going to have sign that affidavit that says listen I'm a U.S. citizen. I am eligible to vote.
The Democratic Party says it will then check that against voter registration rolls. And then if there are any discrepancies they will refer it to the state. It's a felony to say that, but you do have to sort of step back and think OK after this is all over and done, what's the incentive to actually take those names and match them up against the registration. So you know they're the ones, you know obviously, enforcing it. So we'll see how it comes out.
DOBBS: Indeed we will. The Culinary Workers Union with just about half of its membership assumed to be illegal aliens there to begin with supporting Senator Obama. That ought to be just -- I don't know why anyone would be concerned at all about this situation. Candy, thank you, as always

That what is okay?
This is not anything subject to a judge.. It is merely a factor in Obama's recent Union endorsement. I think I know what you're probably talking about, but that has nothing to do the 45% - 50% illegal alien membership involved in the Union endorsing Obama, who are very likely to be illegitimately involved in the caucus.
They are two separate issues.

But it's not likely to be pretty..

This Union endorsement, with all the Illegal Membership, made little difference for Obama. At least judging from the results that are in so far. Nevada goes to Clinton, and Romney on the Repub side, with Ron Paul at #2 and gaining ground...
I don't think Unions in the USA should accept Illegal Aliens as members anyway. That's at least as bad as employing them. By doing so they are condoning Illegal Immigration and breaking US law. They are also condoning putting American members out of their rightful jobs, by way of cheap, illegal labor.
That's not what Unions are supposed to be about. Seems this one got off-track somewhere along the line.

Robocall trashes "Barack Hussein Obama"
The Obama campaign has released a recording (mp3) it says came from a Nevadan's answering machine of an anonymous robocall that criticizes Obama for taking money from special interests while repeating, four times, his rarely used middle name: "Hussein."
"I'm calling with some important information about Barack Hussein Obama," the call begins, before saying that "Barack Hussein Obama says he doesn't take money from Washington lobbyists or special interest groups but the record is clear that he does."
After mentioning his full name once more, the call concludes:
"You just can't take a chance on Barack Hussein Obama."
Click here to listen to the campaign's recording of the call.

I clicked, but nothing happened..
If you mean campaign funds though, it is pretty widely known that he does, as does Clinton. The only one that reportedly doesn't, on the Dem side, is Edwards..
Not as though it's a capital sin though. It's well within the limits of propriety as things are currently. But I wish it weren't all about who gets offered the most money. And even though it's hurt him, I think everybody should refuse special interest funding as Edwards has, or that it should be made illegal. The electoral process should not be reserved for the very rich, or only those who have a lot of well-healed friends, buying special favor.
That would make elections a lot more legitimate and put all candidates on a level playing field.
