Some people are so stupid that they can't be helped.

The people of New Jersey deserve whatever the union allows them to have! When the union and democrat ideology trump the good of the citizens (who allow it), the citizens deserve no sympathy!

Citizen's unite!
Send a message to these union slugs -
Effyoo, strong letter to follow!

Similiar thing happened in CA a while back.

Some out-of-state firefighters came to CA to help fight those massive brush/forest fires. They were turned away. Yes, those out-of-state volunteers were union, but they were the wrong firefightwr union.

Thugs, all of them

Phhooey, let them suffer... the unions will just prove that they can't get it done efficiently or quickly enough anyway. People will notice.

Nice to know that New York City is not governed by bloomberg but run by the UNION!!
There must be a sacrafice and the people of
n.y.c. must be made to know who runs the city....the UNION DOES!!

Let the fools sit in the cold and dark. Maybe one day they will learn that it matters whom you elect to office. The governors and mayors should have overridden the union thugs.

They get what they deserve out there as they brought it on themselves with their love of unions and their hind end kissing of the union thugs!

This sounds more like a street gang than a union.

Yo...yo...BaaaHaaaHaaa....MORONS.....In Florida when everyones' electricity is out they don't care where help comes from. During Hurricane Charlie clean up in 2004 there were electric crews from all over the US and Canada. No one gave a hoot whether they belonged to the Union. I'm watching citizens screaming on TV for help.....Well..Folks... You get the kind of government you voted for. Vote for [DELETED]....NO ELECTRICITY for you....NO FOOD ..for you!! Keep voting for your current Dummyrat politicians... You get what you deserve...SORRY!

Please do not use bad language in any form [or SHOUT]. LCom Staff.

There's a reason it took 22 million Yankee's four years to put down a civil war against six million southerners, and this storm appears to be highlighting just some of the reasons why.

Let them freeze in the dark.

We will never win this until Liberals are forced to live in the hell-holes they create

Not surprising. My husbands company, a disaster resoration firm, that was hired by an individual business for clean-up, was hassled by the union thugs. When the company's owner stood up to them, they allowed them to work...but...wouldn't allow them to use the freight elevators to carry tons of heavy equipment.

They drove to NYC to help from the Chicago suburbs too.

This happens in Chicago proper all the time at certain locations and they usually have to carry "bribe money" to give the elevator operator. My husband, however, refuses to pay (He rarely has more than five bucks in his pocket anyway) if he can't reason with the guy....he leaves and lets the owner fight it out. Nine times out of ten they return to do the work.

Live by the union, die by the union -- literally.

What is New York bellyaching about? Georgia joined the union in 1788.

I guess the volunteers were told to
Stand Down!

I thought there was a Governor in one of those states up there that wasn't afraid to stand up to the unions. Chris something...

So let them sit in the dark.

Come back home to the South boys. We appreciate your efforts even if those ungrateful union thugs do not.

Nashville got flooded and we were thankful to every man, woman, and child that showed up to help out. Good manners never go out of style in the South.

Lenin and Stalin would be proud!

They conquered NJ & NY without a shot.

Aren't the Unions in NY and NJ controlled by the Mafia?

I hope the poor souls in those States remember the Union Utopia when the vote Tuesday, of course, assuming they have power to vote.

BTW I heard some states have paper ballots as backup so folks can still vote. Might take longer to count but at least they can vote.

DON'T spit on the graves of our men and women (including those that may be in your own family) who fought and many died for our Liberty and don't spit on the Ambassador and the 3 men with him by voting for Obama.

I am almost at a point where I may no longer be friends with anyone who spits on the above and votes for Obama.

Unions have been Stuck on Stupid for years. But it has worked for them, as 0bama has given them everything they wanted. The Stimulus was all about Unions, the GM Money Give-a-Way was all about helping the Unions. The 0bamacare is all about helping the unions; a little know fact is there are millions being put into union pension plan, all compliments of the taxpayer given to the unions.

Let them sit in the dark with no heat. At this point all my sympathy and compassion are long gone. They like unions there, then live and suffer with the consequences.

Come on republican Party this is a prime opportunity to get these YDog democRATS to maybe change their thinking, one step at a time find good candidates to run in swing districts with an anti-union message.

Like the OP, I was born and raised in NJ. Unions control a lot there.

It is my considered opinion that lawyers and unions are two of the main problems with the U.S. Here are two quotes that tell you how unions think.

During difficult contract negotiations in the WVA coalfields, a mediator asked John L. Lewis, then President of the UMW what he wanted (after getting almost everything he demanded). Lewis replied, "More."

Then there's this: “When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of schoolchildren.” - Al Shanker, former President of American Federation of Teachers.

The people devastated by Sandy will remember the IBEW thuggery long after the clean-up ends. The Republican landslide on Tuesday will begin to give them the means to do something about it (remember Scott Walker?).

Does this mean I do not have to feel guilty about not giving blood and money to the Red Cross?
