Did "Diamond Dave" find religion?
Not quite.
But he has undergone a sudden “religious
conversion” that’s allowed him to perform a flip-flop of biblical
proportions.
In a fantastic about-face that's befitting of only the sleaziest politician, Regan -- who has fervently
supported SEIU’s order to "unite" all of California's long-term care
workers into SEIU Local 6434 – is now suddenly
opposed to it.
It's like that famous politician
who said, "I voted for it, uh..., before I voted against it."
Well, that's Dave Regan. But on
steroids.
Back in 2007 and 2008, Regan was a
member of SEIU’s Long Term Care Division
Steering Council and aggressively pushed for the transfer of SEIU-UHW’s 65,000
long-term care workers into Local 6434.
And in June of 2008 at SEIU’s convention in Puerto Rico, Regan aggressively campaigned in support of “Resolution
# 206a” which called for the transfer of SEIU-UHW’s 65,000 long-term care
workers to Local 6434.
Regan even worked hand-in-hand with
Tyrone Freeman to launch a PR and
direct-mail campaign in California to push for the transfer of the 65,000 members... including
a website called www.StrongerAsOne.com
Then, in January of 2009, Regan
was a member of SEIU’s International
Executive Board and voted in favor of ordering SEIU-UHW to transfer the
65,000 members.
Soon thereafter, Regan voted to
put SEIU-UHW into trusteeship when its governing board failed to transfer the 65,000 workers
fast enough.
But today, my friends, is apparently a brand new day for Diamond Dave.
Dave has miraculously found
religion. Or maybe he was struck by lightning. Or bumped his head too hard on the
underside of Duane Dauner’s desk.
Whatever happened, Diamond Dave has
flip-flopped so hard that his head is bouncing back and forth like one of those
plastic bobble heads you get at the baseball game.
Quite the image of
integrity...
