My husband does NOT belong to the union...but works for the United States Postal Service...
You are SO correct when you say most are Democrats...he says he is amazed at how visceral the hate for Bush is where he works. Whenever he asks some of the people he works with WHY the hate Bush so much...
It is the dem talking points "went to war for oil"..."racist"...blah, blah...
My neighbor is in the printers union. Same thing going on there but he's almost to retirement age and knows the truth.
I think your husband is like many people, he's the result of this constant criticism and attacks by the Democrats.
Since Republicans generally support smaller government, is there any wonder that anyone connected with a union or a government job isn't being subjected to fear tactics as the Democrats claim Republicans are going to take away their income? All through the Regan era, there were claims that he was 1) growing government and the national debt by increasing spending, yet 2) he was destroying government jobs.
