“Federal workers a RABID Democrat voters just for this reason.”

Please don’t lump all Feds into the same barrell. I can count on one hand the number of Dems in my Agency statewide.

Good for you!

My brother in law is a cartographer. He worked for the USGS (is that right?) for man years. About 400 people worked in his building.

He voted for Gore in 2000! He’s more conservative than I am.

He said the pressure to vote Democrat was intense...one guy had a Bush bumper sticker; his car was vandalized. It was constant...e-mails, flyers let on desks. People would walk around desks, telling others that the Republicans would cut their jobs. He actally believed it, too. He and my sister got scared about it.

Well, guess what: Bush cut out many of the jobs; my brother in law kept his!

He said the waste and lack of production was incredible. Three people did the work of one.

He recently took a job in the private sector providing vendor services to the government. Harder work, but he has incentives and feels good about it.

I won’t paint all government workers with the same brush...you would know more than I. I do contract work for several government agencies and there is a lot of waste and lazy people.

I would never say that about a Freeper, though. Thanks for your hard work.
