Republican Party Aiding California Nurses Association Efforts

Who's the latest promoter of the California Nurses Association, the labor union that's causing a split in the ranks of California's labor ranks and jeopardizing the campaigns of progressives? That would be the California Republican Party.

The CRP issued a press released yesterday afternoon from Chairman Ron Nehring that lashes out at SEIU and Sen. Barack Obama:

"After a difficult performance in yesterday's Democratic Presidential debate, Barack Obama is on the campaign trail today trying to blame his poor performance on the 'slash-and-burn' politics of old he so often decries.

But will Obama denounce the 'thug like behavior' that prompted a California Superior Court today to issue a restraining order against the Service Employees International Union's stalking, use of violence, and the harassment of officers, directors, and staff of the California Nurses Association?

Obama promises he can follow up his lofty ideals with action. Here is an opportunity for the freshman senator to do so. Will Barack Obama personally denounce the deplorable, thuggish behavior of his supporters? Or will he fail to lead yet again and defer to a campaign aide to make peace in the press?"

This is yet more evidence of CNA's destructive political agenda. Even the Republicans are taking advantage of the nurses union's damaging attacks on SEIU. Shame on CNA.
