But those small, independent carriers don't donate dinero to the DNC; the unions do. The Dems don't give a rat's a$$, pardon the pun, about those who can't pay. And they certainly aren't about to cheese off their La Raza constituency for a bunch of red-state voters.

All true, they don't give a rat's arse for the red-state independant trucker, and union gimmies mean money, but the beauty of the corner they have painted themselves into is that they cannot benefit one without benefitting the other.

The irony here, is that Dorgan is from North Dakota, a Right-to-work State!
