After the GM buyout you could see it here, no way would a FR-er buy GM. I kept telling my Ford Gnome we have a phenomenon going on here, I don't know if he passed it up the chain. But no one would talk about it until Frank Beckmann 9am -12 on tthe 50,000 watt blowtorch 760 am open the phone lines one morning just after the GM bailout and asked the question would you buy GM.
When GM family members called in and said no he was stunned...
Yet we say it here 1st.
FR, on the cutting edge...
As a retired 30 plus year union member, I can tell you that a lot of union members are conservative. I didn't say a majority mind you but a lot.
This retired union member has never voted for a democrat. I wouldn't vote for my brother if he were running for office as a democrat. (He's not democrat though)
A better example would be my mother, who at 90 years old isn't running for anything but she's a "Roosevelt" democrat and there's no changing that. When political matters are brought up, always by her, I quickly change the subject because she's easily agitated and after all she is my mother and has the ultimate weapon - she might give me a whooping.
