OK. I am at a loss right now. I don't quite know what to do. My brother in law is a republican. That's fine. He listens to Rush Limbaugh. OK. whatever. My husband told me today that my brother in law does not want to vote for the union because IBEW supported Obama for President. WHAT!!!! GRR!!! So, a labor union supported a candidate that supports unions and workers?? why is that bad? My BIL HATES obama. he thinks he is the worst thing there is. He put a sticker on my sisters car that says FUBO which totally pissed my sister off. She can't even get the sticker off. She is afraid of what will happen if her neighbors see this sticker on her car.
Now, I really don't know what to say to my BIL. I know he doesn't like democrats. But he would vote against his own self interests... the interests of his family.... and MY INTERESTS. My husband is now feeling disheartened in his efforts to get a union where he works. The company really screwed the guys over last year and then didn't give them a raise. They first said no bonus, but backed off of that because they knew that would just make it easier to get a union in there. Last year when they voted for the union, the measure failed by FIVE votes. so the idea that my BIL would vote against a union just because the IBEW supported obama makes me sick. He's not just affecting his own future and livelihood now.... he's affecting my family.
I can't help but wonder just what dan thinks obama is trying to do. My sister, on unemployment, is still receiving this unemployment insurance because of the stimulus. She's been out of work since October. So he doesn't want people in charge who are trying to help him and his family survive this mess? I just don't friggin understand it. It makes me kind of mad that instead of finding out the information he just listens to Rush and believes everything he says.
I have asked him how he can listen to Rush Limbaugh when this guy hates women and is a drug addict. Rush Limbaugh is all about Rush Limbaugh. He wants obama to fail because he'll be just fine no matter what happens. He's got his money. He's got his. Who does my BIL think is going to suffer if Obama's plans don't work??? My BIL. His wife. His kids. that's who. ME and my family. Rush Limbaugh doesn't give a good god damn about my BIL or his family or mine for that matter. and i wish people like my BIL would think instead of just believe what these jerks say.
