Quote from OccupyThis:
AFSCME President after WI loss:
âYou never see this at a tea bag, man. What you have is a bunch of haters, people that tell lies, people that want to go back to the â50s. White man rule. White man only.â
YEAH, that'll boost your membership and get you the votes!
These dopes just can't accept the truth. Since Team Obama is focus group driven, I have some group discussion I'd like to share with them.
As I've written here before both of my brothers are union members and have been for all their working lives. One works for the railroad, the other for big oil. Both are very active in their unions and have held union postions such as Treasure, Grievance Man, Vice President. Both voted for Obama in 08. Both will not be voting Obama this year.
Myself, I now work in a IAM union shop as a Planner/Estimator. I am not in the union. I can tell you Mr. President, the boys on the floor ain't happy. They all voted for you in 08. You'll be getting far less support this time around.
And now to the meat of the issue. All these guys are white. White working class Americans who put their faith and trust in you. White working class Americans who were scared in 2008. They were losing their jobs by the millions. They were losing their homes by the millions. Those that still had jobs were in fear of losing that job. Nearly 4 years later all are still in fear of harder times to come, not better. You have failed us.
Some more hard focus group truth for you. The black vote did not put you over the top in 08. The entire minority vote did not put you over the top. All the special interest groups did not put you over the top. Any democrat always get's those votes. White working class Americans gave you the votes you needed to win the presidency.
My advice to you would be to do something that makes whitey feel all warm and fuzzy again, cause if whitey goes in that voting boothe all pissed off and still scared...you're done. Let me give you another piece of advice. If you're thinking that what I will now coin as the H&H paltform, Homo's and Healthcare, will put you over the top, you're sadly mistaken. It's about jobs. Get it done, or get gone.
