Ir You Are A Public Employee Or Union/Vote GOP?/U Need Your Head Examined.

If you are a public employee or employee and vote GOP you need your head examined. Only a fool would vote fore someone who says they want to fuck you economically and get rid of you. The public sector is under major attack by every GOPPER in office in the country. They want to privatize you, cut your pay and take your pension.

I simply do not understand so much mental disconnect.

I worked for the Forest Service, and there were several people who were fanatic Republicans. They thought the Democrats might take away their firearms.

I said this to him : "You want your union to negotiate the best possible wage and benefit package they can get for you correct?"
His answer: Yes So then you go in the voting booth and vote for the guy that wants to take that all away from you Correct?
His answer: I have always voted Republican because my parents always voted that way.

Theory..Some Republicans grow up in a household whereby the Republican ideology is brainwashed into their head.

But you know there are an awful lot of Democrats that would vote for union busting legislation if it was presented to them because of the corporate money machine that give them their paycheck from time to time
