Perhaps i misunderstand this card check thing. I don’t understand how it matters much. Id tell a union straight out i don’t want what they are selling and i don’t care what they think about it. So how does losing a secret ballot really make a difference? Is someone gonna come and rough me up cause i didn’t vote to unionize?
I mean i understand that secret ballots are considered sort of defacto to a fair vote system, but i really don’t care if people know how i vote on most issues. Or perhaps its my 20 something idea of invulnerability and individualism :)

They will intimidate the old, weak, and female "voters" into accepting the union. You probably won’t be physically assaulted. Then again, your car tires may coincidentally be flat when you come out of work.
There is simply no good reason to do away with the secret ballot, and a very good one not to. |

Is someone gonna come and rough me up cause i didn’t vote to unionize? When I told one of my senior university colleagues that I was not a member of the "faculty association" (i.e. the union), he made jokes about "twisting my arm" to get me to join. Aside from the fact that he might have been able to interfere in my tenure & promotion, yes, I can see how in some other cases union members might want to put more pressure on their peers. |

This is the dirty little secret that McCain just doesn’t seem to understand judging by his sponsorship of McCain-Feingold:
POLITICS RUNS ON MONEY.
Unless we pass a law requiring (A) only public money to fund campaigns and (B) outright forbidding ANYBODY to make any speech, sign, commercial, blog post, video, etc. supporting or condemning any candidate, issue, or position, politicians must find donors to fund their campaigns. The idea that "I don’t accept lobbyist money" is absurd: as you point out, they may not get money from THOSE lobbyists, but they certainly get it from SOME lobbyists or other sources. And that money comes with some sort of a price.
Sigh...
It distresses me to think how naive some people are to believe that "dirty money" can be gotten out of politics and / or that THEIR candidate doesn’t take it. |

You have never lived in a strong union area, have you? Bad, sometimes fatal, things have been known to happen to folks who oppose, for example, the UMW. Then there are the Teamsters. Or the ILWU. Ever hear of a ’scab’? |
