Painters union endorses Huckabee

Posted: Friday, January 11, 2008 4:23 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC/NJ's Adam Aigner-Treworgy
The 170,000-member International Painters Union endorsed Huckabee, per the governor's statement. About 30% of the union's members are Republicans. This is the first time the union has endorsed a GOP candidate in more 100 years. It is Huckabee's second union endorsement; the first was the Machinist & Aerospace Workers Union.

The Painters union also endorsed Hillary Clinton last month on the Democratic side. Previously the Machinists & Aerospace union also endorsed both Huckabee and Clinton.

Michigan & South Carolina,

America’s only choice for President is clear. Don’t be suckered in by the elite media’s propaganda. Tens of millions of dollars was donated by Wall Street to purchase the White House in this election. Some candidates are just too old or too liberal to win. Please remember, the rest of the country is waiting and depending on you (Michigan & South Carolina) to give us the opportunity to elect Huckabee and say no to big government, Wall Street, and the elite media. Those Americans who never had a set at the table, who don’t have the big money or a voice in this election are waiting to cast their vote for Mike Huckabee. Please provide America’s true conservatives the opportunity to vote with you and elect Mike Huckabee President. No more Presidents from Camelot!

Your article is completely false. The International Painters Union did not endorse Mr. Huckabee. For that matter, the painters in our area was never even polled. You should be ashamed of yourself.
