My husband was gloating yesterday at his unionized airline job at the rightwingers

[kimbutgar]

My husband works for one of the large airlines, surprisingly quite a few guys in his shop are Rush/Fox/Savage fans and hate Obama. One of the guys is a real Mexican looking guy who is one of those crazy right wingers. He made a bet with my husband that he would buy him lunch if Obama won and my husband made the same bet if Rmoney won. Well my husband purposely made a point of coming in the morning meeting last and pumping his arms saying Obama !Obama! Half of the shop are for Obama and the other half rmoney. He said their faces were so glum. Anyway the guy he made the bet with said he wouldn't pay up because of so many "voting irregularities" Obama might not have won fairly and would buy him lunch on inauguration day instead. My husband is a nice guy because I wouldn't have let his co worker get away with it. Anyway the guy is very Mexican looking, would get picked up in Arizona for being an illegal. But he is so much a rabid right winger it shocks my husband. One of the things interesting is that his commute is about 1 - 2 hours daily. His total commute is probably a steady diet of right wing radio. I asked my husband about the other right wingers and they all have long commutes, the liberals have short commutes! But the funny thing about the right wingers is that they are have good paying union jobs with full benefits yet they bash the union and support what the propagandists Rush/Fox/Savage and the other idiots say that unions are evil and destroying AmeriKa. If Rmoney had won you can bet those unions would have been busted up and those right wingers would have been paid minimum wage with no benefits!

2. I too have RW friend from Mexico City

He's lived in the US for 30 yeaqrs at least. And he is very hispanic looking. He ALSO listens to a lot of Rush. He hates Obama with a passion. We trade barbs with a lot of ha ha's etc. I told him today on the phone that the Republicons are a lot of old white guys dying off which seem to upset him. He really got mad about that it seemed. Maybe because 95% of his customers are white I suppose? He seems to dislike hispanics.
I wonder if the Mexican RW fascism has rubbed off on him? He loves Rush I think because he says he's so funny.
