(Reuters) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc is mobilizing U.S. store managers to lobby against Democrats in November's presidential election, fearing they will make it easier for workers to unionize, The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday.

...

The Wal-Mart human-resources managers who have run the meetings didn't tell those attending how to vote in the November elections, but made it clear that voting for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, Sen. Barack Obama, would be tantamount to inviting unions in, the Journals said.

The mute button is on.

What do you see ?

For any candidate for office, non-verbal communication often lingers in voters minds far longer than their spoken words. 

If you were running for office, what would you want viewers to see, whether in person or on television ?

Here, for example, is a take on the 2008 presidential campaign by Andy Hiller and his Hiller Instinct on the subject of Image :

They've already spoken so much it may be too much to remember. But you won't forget what they look like when they say it.

1967 -- it wasn't just the "Summer of Love" (btw: Open Thread)

I was wondering what your take on the two McCains' (II and III) is on the subject of the USS Liberty and the USS Forrestal ?

In other words, the MSM does not list the USS Liberty (34 US servicemen killed) as a coverup by McCain II and does not list the USS Forrestal (134 US servicemen killed) as caused by a "wet start" ( http://judicial-inc.biz/wet_start_mcCain.jpg ) by a young "hot-dog" pilot McCain III ?

Thus, are these just rumors by those who are jealous of the McCains' and their family military history ? Or is the MSM, the government and the military (especially the US Navy) covering up since the last 41 years what took place on those deadly dates (June 8 and July 29 respectively) in 1967?
