But we will welcome slave labor which is our heritage.




South Carolina governor says Ford, GM, Chrysler union jobs not welcome in state


South Carolina is glad to have nonunion jobs from BMW, Michelin and Boeing, but don’t expect any factories from Ford, General Motors, Chrysler or other companies with unionized workforces.

According to Gov. Nikki Haley, they’re not welcome.

Haley said Wednesday that she discourages companies from building new facilities in South Carolina if they are planning to bring a union with them.

“It’s not something we want to see happen,” she told the Greenville News following an appearance at an automotive conference in downtown Greenville.

“We discourage any companies that have unions from wanting to come to South Carolina because we don’t want to taint the water.”

1. Yeah, those republicans

[liberal N proud]

2. What kind of asshole turns down jobs for his state?

What kind of voter votes for an asshole who turns down jobs for their state?

Do they really love poverty that much?

4. The answers are...

A. Republicans

B. Republicans

C. Yes.

[Cali_Democrat]

43. The same kind of assholes that turn medicaid expansion

Leaving millions of Americans with no coverage.

11. Still sustaining a plantation mentality

Yes, it's never gone away.

[DiverDave]

5. Yeah, we dont want more state tax income

local tax income, more consumer spending, more small biz.

What a moron.

[Cha]

6. "taint the water".. honey your water is so bloody

tainted.. unions could only cleanse.

[davidpdx]

7. Hopefully when Haley asks for another term the voters will come to their senses

after four years of her regressive policies.

[malaise]

8. They hate unions in India

makes sense

[Lochloosa]

14. Bingo!

[mgardener]

9. Niki, oh Niki

You don't have to worry about unions tainting the water....
Your republican governor buddy are tainting the water just fine on their own.

[MNBrewer]

10. Send them to MN if you will, thanks!

We don't mind unions here at all. (except for the Republicans, but they don't run this state at the moment).

[weissmam]

12. put that on a continuious loop and see how it plays at election time

[NightWatcher]

13. and how many dumb, poor repukes there will applaud her for this?

[RKP5637]

31. Yep, exactly, as they eat crap for meals and live in shoddy housing, and also

proud that they hate healthcare. Some are born losers and they will always be losers.

[NightWatcher]

38. You've got to hand it to religion and fear mongering

They'll gleefully sit in their piles of dirt, cursing the light (and the scary gays and black people), because in the next life they'll get a gold mansion in the clouds. I really wish that I was the one who came up with the con that these suckers bought.

and gawd forbid a company try to come to town to give them a job, they don't want that because the millionaire on the tv machine told them that the union are teachers and thugs who want more than minimum wage.

I've no more sympathy or pity for the gleefully, willfully stupid.

[RKP5637]

39. I've lost all sympathy for them too. They are unreachable and proud of their

ignorance and stupidity. They are losers and wastes. A lawyer friend told me that years ago, and I thought that was cruel, but today, I see the point he was making.

It's one thing to help people, and they are receptive and you jointly work together to make their lives better, but when they want to blindly persist in making and perpetuating their own shit hole, eventually, you have to stop being concerned, because they are energy sinks on mankind. That said, they are dangerous, because they vote, they never know the real issues and are fodder for manipulation.

[Ed Suspicious]

15. Good fucking lord. And they've tainted the union brand so thoroughly they actually get away

with this bullshit?

[reformist2]

18. Repuglithink: Dems like unions, ergo unions are bad!

[bkanderson76]

16. WOW...Lil' Nikki Has Proclaimed To The Common Rabble of South Carolina That They Shall

NOT acquire even the slightest parcel of prosperity while she is at the helm. If any of you 'wretched hirelings' within the grand state of South Carolina care one whit about your cheap and thank-less job, don't ya dare 'taint the water'.
I believe Ford, GM, and Chrysler along with the UAW just got gut-punched regarding their fine American product, engineered by fine American craftsman and assembled by the best American workman. If I were Ford, GM, or Chrysler I might think twice about unloading a new car within 200 miles of South Carolina....
But hey, who says the vastly experienced Union toiler wants to be dragged down to the level of the average slobbering worker of South Carolina anyway? It is these venison-gnashing peasants who actually support their asparagus-spined governor apparently from the impulse that it is easier to tear others down than to lift yourselves up.....STAND UP SOUTH CAROLINA

[reformist2]

17. Repugs are in full reactionary mode. They oppose whatever Dems are for.

When I was growing up, I always used to wonder what that word meant. Now it's all too clear.

[Populist_Prole]

40. Bingo. They're being intense ideologues just for the sake of being ideologues

Obvious as that is, it's still too bad the plantation mentality and its servile population enables this to be so.

[kelliekat44]

19. I never thought I would see the day when the US was fighting unions just like the old USSR.WOW!

First the elite use the working man as cannon fodder to protect their investments under the guise of fighting for freedom and democracy and then they use their protected wealth to insure that workers will never have job security or reasonable social safety net they used to have. Yes, our country is changing for the worse and it's not Obama's fault. Look in the mirror voters...you get what you vote for or don't vote for.

[RKP5637]

30. But, sadly, many voters just don't get how they are used. They would rather listen to

their hate filled propaganda sources and blame Obama for their Idiocracy!

[Gore1FL]

20. SC didn't like Unions in 1861, either. n/t

[Peacetrain]

21. Just send those jobs to Iowa

This one will come back to haunt that gov.. you can take that one to the bank..

[malaise]

22. An American state rejects AMerican car companies

Unfreakingbelievable

[Diremoon]

23. Middle class

Let us examine this a little closer. Since the rise of unionization in this country brought about the middle class, and it can be demonstrated that their paths are intertwined, Governor Haley is revealing that she is against having a middle class. She is advocating that South Carolina be divided sharply between a starving, compliant poor majority, and wealthy ruling minority. This seems to be a goal that South Carolina is already well on the way to achieving. Perhaps the governor is trying to establish a little India in the south.

[RKP5637]

29. Yep, she is adding steroids to the decline of SC. She obviously wants most of the

state to be peasants.

[tartan2]

24. Well guess what Nikki Haley

I don't want to buy a car that has been built in South Carolina let alone anywhere else in the south!

[Fawke Em]

41. Actually, the old Ford plant in Atlanta turned out some fine

automobiles.

Can't remember why they stopped production there, though.

[jpak]

25. Yo Nikki - we'll take yer union jobs from you

Idiot

yup

[Blue_Tires]

26. I was sad to see Boeing merrily sell out to these bass-ackward folks...

[RKP5637]

28. +++ 1,000,000 +++ n/t

[RKP5637]

27. Fine, there are many states that would welcome them, SC is not needed, but thank you for

your concern, Gov. Nikki Haley. Other states do not promote slave labor.

[ladjf]

32. Haley is just another in the large group of disingenuous and stupid Republican leaders. nt

[ellie]

33. Awww ain't she a dummy?

Such a job creator!

[edhopper]

34. Turns out that the Boeing plant

that they put there to get away from the Union workers in Washington, does such a bad job building the new Jet that they have to send the parts back to Seattle for the union workers to make them work.

[bullwinkle428]

36. "You get what you pay for" still means NOTHING to some people.

[bullwinkle428]

35. Nikki Haley never hesitates in turning the stupid up to "11"!

[PowerToThePeople]

37. Hey Nikki Haley

[wocaonimabi]

42. Note to self, don't buy any products from SC. No problem at all 49 other

states to choose from when shopping for UNION made products.
