Obama hearts New York

So what is he promising the New York prison guards?

He just won the support of the New York prison guard union. What is he promising them in return?

In California, prison guard union money comes with a lot of strings attached.

And they're the kind of strings you don't really want to see attached to a Democrat in the post-Abu Ghraib, overincarcerated black youth era.

Regarding Prison Guards, Etc.

What people must understand is that Obama is a Joe Leiberman acolyte. The very fact that he accepted the endorsement of a prison guards union is proof positive that he is NOT what he appears to be.

You want REAL change?

Vote for John Edwards. Don't believe the bullshit you've heard about him. He's the real deal...and God knows we need that today!
