I noticed a bumper sticker on a truck supporting Kerry at the gas station the other day. The truck also had union stickers on it.

It pains me to see how uneducated union drones are when it comes to politics. They really think the super rich are going to look our for their interests?

I was telling my wife that many "blue collar" Democrat types really hold conservative views that are not in line with the Democrat platform.

Most hard working blue collar types are pro-gun, pro-life, pro-marriage (man and woman) and strong on defense which is diametrically opposed to the union's party of choice.

I read a few years ago that about 40% of the trade union members vote Republican. Government employee unions, on the other hand . . .

Whatever happened to Beck, by the way? I thought Bush rescinded Clinton's EO not to enforce, but I haven't heard of notices being reposted in workplaces.

I am one of those hard working blue collar types (construction). Who happens to be in a union. I STRONGLY disagree with every polital view my union has.

A union buddy turned me on to FR a few years ago, and I love it, I spend many hours a week here.(though at times I wish it was a little more conservative). I also had another union buddy loan me Bias and turned me on to Dinesh D'souza.

so yes we are out there
