2. Re-Pubic-Rats hate labor unions because they vote for Democrats.
That's the reason they want to do away with them.

6. Not quite.
So if they voted for Republicans, the Republicans would all of a sudden adopt pro-union, progressive causes? Hello?

It's a plank of right-wing ideology to be anti-labor because having unions means democracy in the workplace for workers and as everyone who pays attention knows, Republicans are pro-owner, pro-businessman, anti-worker, anti-union, anti-anything to do with human protection from corporate excesses...

11. I'm sorry, but you're incorrect.
There is a reason they are Republicans and not Democrats (although that line is sometimes obscured because there are some Democrats who come from conservative areas representing conservative ideology)

3. So why are the banks so special and the people not?
That would be my question to Mitch McConnell with a stupid fucking comment like this: "None of us want to see them go down but very few of us had anything to do with the dilemma that they've created for themselves," said McConnell.


Created for themselves? Like the banks who preyed on people who should not have received loans, like the paper money they passed around for so long keeping the system artificially propped up. The banks didn't bring that failure on themselves but the Auto companies did? :wtf:

In the sense that these assholes who are pro-corporate criminal behavior and anti-anything that benefits society as a whole, rejected CAFE standards at every turn, are pro-FREE TRADE (what a joke -FREE TRADE) in the fact that American workers should compete with someone making slave wages....

These assholes are Treasonous and if there were any justice, they'd be dragged out in the middle of the street and.....

8. I remember several repugs whining about how it wasn't fair
that someone uneducated could make such a good income in a factory in the 70's while college graduates had to take lower-paying jobs. Imagine, a repug talking about fairness in the business world, when one of their rallying cries is, "There no such thing as fair." :eyes:
