International Association Of Firefighters Endorses Dodd!
From Politico:
“Chris Dodd’s campaign is set this week to announce a quite major labor endorsement: the International Association of Firefighters, according to a source familiar with the plans.
The endorsement comes as something as a surprise. Labor insiders had expected the union, one of labor’s big endorsements, to go with one of the front-runners.
But the Connecticut senator is an old ally, and authored what’s probably the most important piece of legislation in a decade for the IAFF: The 2000 FIRE Act, which channels federal money to local fire departments.”

Don’t lump all of us Fire Fighters in with the liberal IAFF, I have to put up with it, but it’s the best Job in the world so oh well.

Wonder what the NY firefighters think about that endorsement? Bet they’re pissed.
August 27th, 2007 at 8:29 pmFire fighters have big hearts. Unions will pay the vigerish. Dodd’s a loser who would promptly screw his supporters in sandwich style with Ted Kennedy. Remember Dodd’s treatment of his “friend” Joe Leiberman.
August 27th, 2007 at 8:38 pmI don’t care how this comes out. I am appalled. With the memory of our fallen NYC firefighters still fresh from a barbaric attack on innocents in our Land by the islamofascists, this Union decides to back a candidate set on appeasement and head buried in the sand type War on Terror.
To the IAFF: You sold out the blood of your brothers for a bunch of union dues. You should be ashamed.
August 27th, 2007 at 8:47 pmThe IAFF’s political activities do not reflect their members.
August 27th, 2007 at 10:32 pmI think this union needs to look up Dodd’s recent interview on CNBC. Dodd is to economics as Murtha is to loyalty.
