Andy Stern's hypocrisy

Andy Stern, the president of SEIU, is simply full of garbage.

For instance, take what he said yesterday....

SEIU President Andy Stern: "Public 'Can't Accept How You Seem To Offer Up Your Vote In Return For Something'":

"The problem, [Stern] said, was the appearance of self-serving deals, particularly in the Senate. 'It looked like what a lot of people thought it was -- it was unseemly self serving behavior,' he said of Senate negotiations. 'People will accept people making hard choices. They can't accept how you seem to offer up your vote in return for something.'" (Ben Smith, "Stern: Without Health Care, Dem Position 'Ridiculous,'" Politico, 3/15/10)

And compare it to what he said last week.

"SEIU Warns Dems: If You Don't Back Reform, We Won't Back You":

"Hardball time. In what seems intended as a shot across the bow of House Dems wavering on health reform, top officials with the labor powerhouse SEIU have bluntly told a Democratic member that they will pull their support for him – and will likely field a challenger against him – if he votes No on the Senate bill." (Greg Sargent, "SEIU Warns Dems: If You Don't Back Reform, We Won't Back You," The Washington Post, 3/12/10)
