The Art Of Liberal Desperation

Savvy, a conservative blogger in North Carolina, slams labor union AFSME's anti-Romney campaign ad featuring the guy who picks up his trash: "Many people work thankless jobs and know they will never be thanked or appreciated or recognized for what they do, but they do it because they want to or they need the money. It's called service. Men and women don't join the military for the recognition or the respect. Most teachers don't become teachers to get voted best teacher. And I've never met a garbage man who picks up garbage to get hugs and Gatorade. Richard Hayes, the man in the ad, personifies what's wrong with Obama supporters: unless you're someone['s] mother or father, or you're God, no one owes you anything. As a society we should thank people for the things they do for our community, but there's something wrong with you if you get into a business expecting it."



She continues: "It seems the AFSCME is trying to capitalize on Romney's 47% line by showing the country he doesn't care about poor people. Though they claim to be non-partisan, they're clearly liberal, and, like most liberals, they don't do well with research or facts. [This photo] is Mitt Romney collecting trash in Massachusetts when he was running for Governor....Mitt Romney didn't make a career out of it or spend more than a day, but it makes the union look like idiots. What it says about Mitt Romney is he is someone who took the time to put himself in another person's shoes. That's a lot better than a man who is arrogant enough to claim he should receive a thank you."
