My president of my local was just telling me how great the Cash for Clunker program is and how this will turn the tide.
When I pointed out that 60% of the "clunkers" were american brands, and 70% of the cars sold were Hondas and Toyotas, he called me "one of those rightwing nutjobs".
Not only that, lots of those Hondas and Toyotas were made here in America by non-union workers.
Never argue with an idiot (especially using facts), they'll take you down to their level then beat you with experience.
if I didn't only have 2 payments left on my F150, Ida turned it in as a clunker and bought a Tundra..but my truck runs like a champ, looks dang good and is too good a vehicle to turn in (plus I get the payment back in pocket in a couple of months)..

I would have gotten my "Bronx" up....grabbed my crotch and said....”yeah....I gotcha righwing nutjobs right here you stupid commie rat b@st@rd”
but hey...thats me.
The reason he called you a right wing nut job is because he didn’t have any other reply so it was a way to get out of the debate and still save face.
You had facts. He had emotion
“So many of the rank and file are blind to the reality of our economic plight.

See, you confused him with facts.
Dude... I hate to point it out to you but you are posting on FR... :)
BTW, did you ask that President guy what is going to happen since they cut off the cash for clunker program?

AmeriKa. Shut up, sit down, and do NOT talk about the facts!
I would be quiet. I knew someone who worked at a defense manufacturer and the union boys in the shop found out he was a Repub even though he was very low key. He was pushed out in a month.
