The Democrats are still out of touch. One of their closer allies is the SEIU, a longtime ally of the disgraced community organizing group ACORN and a rabid proponent of government expansion. Oh, SEIU supplies campaign cash and volunteers for liberal politicians. They are part of the problem.
Paul Hodes, the Democratic nominee for the open US Senate seat in New Hampshire, certainly doesn't get it. He hopes to represent the people of the Granite State in Washington--but his head is full of rocks.
From Foster's Daily Democrat:
On Wednesday morning, one day after the primary, Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Paul Hodes kicked off his general election campaign by walking for a day in the shoes of an SEIU nursing home worker.Kelly Ayotte, the Republican nominee in the Senate race, knows the headaches. She has helped her husband run his small business.
His effort to experience life through someone else's eyes is laudable, but Hodes should not stop with a Service Employees International Union worker. He should walk in the shoes of a small-business owner.
This means that he won't work an 8, 10 or even a 12-hour shift. He will work 24/7. He will be on call every hour of every day — through birthdays, holidays and vacations (if there is the money in the till to take one).
He will get the call at 3 a.m. that the front door of his business is open and police are waiting to search the building with police dogs in the event there is a burglary in progress.
As for Hodes, couldn't he have found a nursing home in New Hampshire that was not an SEIU shop?
