Cite your proof of these assertions, because, if you'll excuse me, I'm
not going to take your word for it.  Why don't you go to the Wall
Street Journal article (  http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12175564906630338
1.html?mod=hpp_us_whats_news
) and read it before you draw your "conclusions"?  And what possible
interest could you have in aiding Walmart in illegally preventing a
union?

Why do you ask these questions, when they're all answered at the Wall
Street Journal article, and the American Rights at Work website
(
http://www.americanrightsatwork.org/employee-free-choice-act/latest-updates
/wal-mart-mobilizing-against-the-employee-free-choice-act-20080801-605-83-8

), and none of your innuendo turns out to be true.

Read the Wall Street Journal Article.  They are lying to them about
the costs/benefits of unionizing, attempting to affect an election
with total propaganda because they stand to lose TRILLIONS paying a
living wage to Americans who deserve it.  Do you disagree?  Oh, and
saying something happens "All the time," is not a good idea.  Do you
have any idea what other occurrences share the same status?  RAPE,
MURDER, INSIDER TRADING, TORTURE (The "good" kind and the bad kind),
STOLEN ELECTIONS, DEATH SQUADS FINANCED BY OUR MILITARY WITHOUT THE
PEOPLE'S CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE, ETHNIC CLEANSING, SLAVERY, HUMAN RIGHTS
VIOLATIONS OF ALL KINDS, ETC., ETC., ETC. NOT a good idea.

Who the heck are you, a Supreme Court Justice?  I know you're new to
the internet, so I'll show you a few things about it and Walmart. Go
to a search box, and punch in, " walmart and anti-union activities ".
I got 22,300 hits on Google.  Read some of the articles, and you'll be
convinced, if you're head isn't stuck up something it shouldn't be.

Well, you're a liar.  And I think people saw through your cover up.
