No way...Pat in the here and now, 2008...
Do the Republicans not yet understand how they lost the New Majority coalition that gave them three landslides and five victories in six presidential races from 1968 to 1988? Do they not know why the Reagan Democrats in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan are going home?
The Republican Party gave their jobs away!
And John McCain was your hero...
Look where we are at...Pat's got the same ideas Reagan had and you badmouth him...
Unfortunately, the country's gettin' what only you guys deserve...You gave us Obama...And you are giving us the new Depression...Thanks...
That is utter tripe.
Republicans don't “give jobs away”. International competition, cheaper products from more competitive countries, the inability of some US firms to adapt, insane demands from unions, have ended up giving American jobs away.
I supported and voted for Senator John McCain for two, and ONLY two reasons: 1.) His name was not Barack Obama. 2.) Governor Sarah Palin was his running mate. If you conflate that with someone being my "hero", so be it.
And the Democrats didn't have anything to do with those managed trade agreements, NAFTA/WTO?
The fact is that those union workers would rather see their companies go under rather then make concessions.
