Norm Coleman's EFCA flip flops

Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) was for the concept of allowing card check ballots before he thought it might be good to campaign against it in his senate reelection campaign. According to WCCO, while Norm was mayor of St. Paul he was for the concept.

As the Republican Mayor of St. Paul, Coleman signed a unanimous city council resolution asking businesses to stay out of union elections and allow unions to form by signing union cards.

Now as a Senator fighting for his political life, he's lying about the Employee Free Choice Act eliminating the secret ballot. The EFCA actually allows the union organizers to do whatever their constituents want ... card check, secret ballot or whatever. The legislation also has harsh penalties for employers who intimidate, harass or interfere with union organizing -- this is what Norm and his buddies really oppose.

But Norm wasn't done. He emitted some Norm-speak^TM in defense of his flip-flop:

The Coleman campaign said signing a resolution doesn't mean Coleman supported putting it in federal law.

"The issue is whether or not workers have the right to organize and he's always been a strong supporter of that. He doesn't support the federal legislation -- the card check legislation," said Cullen Sheehan, Coleman's Campaign Manager.

Norm always reserves the right to weasel out from under anything he says at a later date.
