And yet, I had a UAW friend tell me last week that The TEA Party wants to destroy union jobs and that the Republicans get all of their money from only rich people.
He knows this, because the Newsletter told him so..

Perfect example of how deep the doo doo is.
My wife is a teacher.
I have to educate her constantly.
Thankfully she is teachable.
Its taken 21 years but she is coming around.
I have to be subtle. (Shhhh Don’t tell her that).

Well since Virginia did not vote Ken Cuccinelli in (we will soon have Terry McAwful as gov.) so MORE of this will be happening soon

Caterpillar is just now opening a brand-new plant outside of Athens, Georgia.
It is non-union.

The worst economy since the Great Depression but the Low/No Information Voters don’t realize the cause of that is President Nobama.

as more coal mines close because of the EPA, the market will be flooded with used equipment.

“And yet, I had a UAW friend tell me last week that The TEA Party wants to destroy union jobs and that the Republicans get all of their money from only rich people.”
A few years back we toured a Caterpillar plant near Peoria and those UAW scum were all wearing T-shirts with “F#$k Caterpillar. (Fully spelled out)
It would make me quite happy if every UAW scum lost their job.
