The Party of Special Interests?

Ask any liberal about special interests and they will claim with a straight face that democrats are free of special interests, and the GOP are being totally controlled by them.  Of course they are always uninformed and are just repeating useless DNC talking points.  A report released by the Department of Labor shows that Labor Unions spent over $2 billion on political activities, most of which were directed at democrats.

Via Big Government:

In one year alone, just 3,000 of the more than 20,857 of DOL electronic union reports spent more on political activities from their compulsory-fees filled coffers than Big Labor reported in their 20 years of political campaign disclosure reports. And, these DOL reports do not include unions that exclusively represent government employees or AFL-CIO central bodies.

This is why unions must be scrutinized and laws restricting their forced dues need to be continued!
