Mentioned to a bagger neighbor that the UAW is trying to negotiate 10,000 new jobs in our contract
Want to know what his biggest concern was? It was how fast could Ford get those new employees hired. He was worried that they might be hired too soon and help the Dems during the election.

He was completely unconcerned with the people out of work and already needing a job to support their families who could really use a job like right now. That never even entered his mind. He was only looking at it in political terms. What would hurt Obama and the Dems was the only thing on his mind. If he had to put 10,000 of his fellow citizens into the street and homeless to win an election, so be it. Nice, huh?

Little insight into the mind of a bagger.

3. The exact reason a jobs bill not be passed this term. The right won't help the people,
they only want to hurt the Presidents poll numbers.

13. I read "the right won't help the people" as "it won' help the right people".
I think either way is accurate, don't you?

5. A sociopath...
is a person " ...who lacks a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience."

I truly believe that many of those people are borderline sociopaths.

We are no longer on speaking terms after I reamed his ass. He won't even wave when he drives by.

10. Same attitude from the GOP/Tea Bag leaders. Do anything, no matter how damaging it is to the
country, but keep Obama from reelection.

11. I have always said and believe it wholeheartedly: TBaggers HATE America
and all them coloreds and illeegulls (that constitutes everyone and anyone who doesn't have pink skin) within our borders.

They are truly the most baleful, hateful, bitter, and vindictive people in the world who wouldn't think twice about sacrificing "the lesser among us" in pursuit of their insane ideals for this world. They have a LOT in common with Adolf Hitler, and they know it. They hate it, though, that I know it, too. But that's all good because I loathe them - with a passion.

12. Life is not a sport
And politics should not be about beating the other team. It should be about finding solutions to our problems.
