That would be the patriotic thing to do. That way Obama can give a tax rebate to people that don't even have one job.

ScottW --- Jezz, you reading my mind?

Great post!

I've been a Phila Building Trades Union member for 29 years and even with all the pro-labor promises coming from zerObama I can not simply vote my wallet over my principles. I am not alone on the jobsites.

Let me tell you what real plumbers, sprinklerfitters, glaziers, carpenters, masons, etc, think . . .

I printed up a couple sheets of various small NObama stickers (below) for my hardhat and some of the guys in my crew. In less than 3 hours the whole job had them on their hardhats . . . 6 sheets went that fast and guys were stuffing dollar bills in my pockets to print some out for them personally. I was flabbergasted; encouraged but flabbergasted nonetheless . . . . Many guys seemed relieved that fellow union members held the same negative sentiments about zerObama they did; the atmosphere was absolutely jovial!

A lot of people are offering the public display of the hingehead "YES - OBAMA - I WILL OBEY" but in the privacy of the voting booth they will vote their conscience.












You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

And don't forget the electrical guys.

I have several union friends who never sway from their union's endorsements,

but this year to the dismay of the O-baaah-ma followers, it's NoBama.

Since both MA and RI are going to go blue, I'm not sure why any of you even waste your breath.
