Say what you will about manufacturing unions, that’s neither here nor there. The simple fact is that it was America that created the entire modern world, largely through manufacturing. Besides, I think you’re confusing private sector unions with public sector unions. For example, the teamsters supported Nixon in the early seventies (not that he was anything to write home about, but a whole lot better than McGovern in ‘72), mostly because of the Alaskan Pipeline (thousands of teamster jobs), but nevertheless, Nixon also pardoned Hoffa, got him out of the big house. The teamsters also supported Reagan in the ‘80s. They’ve also voted over 40% GOP in every presidential election since ‘72. You can’t judge everything by appearances; they can be deceptive, and hide the truth. This is something the dems count on in every election cycle. Carter and Clinton were both presented to the American people as a couple of mainstream, aw-shucks good ole boys from down south. The truth was far different. Government unions are a different creature altogether, and should be abolished on the first day of Sarah’s new administration. I believe they were created in the early ‘60s by Kennedy with an executive order. Another executive order, by another president should be enough to rid ourselves of them, courts be damned. As for being slobs, there’s nothing wrong with being untidy, so long as your heart is in the right place.
