Skip I know your not tring to start crap, nor am I.. Firstly, les get down to the basics of our 2 parties. Lets forget about the terms liberal and conservative, because a republican be more of a liberal than a Dem and a Democrat can be more conservative than a republican.
I see it like this. Unions are favoring the Democrats now and have for many years because democrats in most cases vote for the middleclass. They will vote for the rights of a worker and to raise minmum wage, fight for better health insurance, etc...
Agian this is how i see it, The Republicans are looking out for the companies that the middleclass people work for. Whos to say that a tax rebate to a huge company doesnt just go into the pockets of shareholders??
When Clinton was Prez, and you look beyond all that lewinski crap, you'll see that we had the strongest economy in the history of our country. We did this becasue Clinton raised minimum wages, gave insentives for companies to create new jobs here in teh US...(not just rebates), and I believe that the stock market boom was because of everyone in the middleclass had more $$ to invest. The Union members remember the good old days of the clinton era and want that back. Under W we've lost so many jobs, and if you pay attention, besides that 3 or 600 dollar check, he hasnt done much to create jobs here in th states. Instead huge companies and small are being rewarded for taking jobs that americans can do here and are bringing them to china... Now if you were a Union Member working for a huge company who is considering exporting jobs wouldnt you be scared???
Teachers favor Democrats because I believe that democrats are more willing to pump up school budgets... The No child left behind act was a good thing, but I believe that it took $$ out of the gifted child programs, music programs and art programs.. again i could be wrong on that-
thats my take..
