What it comes down to in this election, whether it is a local election or the election for the office of the president, is what will the candidate do for labor? Which candidate will crush workers and allow big business to make bigger record profits at the expense of middleclass? Which candidate will pass national “Right to Work for Nothing” legislation? Which candidate will put an end to pensions and healthcare? Who is going to preserve the dignity of the working man and allow him to provide for his family by getting a decent wage? Which candidate has happily crushed people before and thinks it is funny?

Yes, Obama should have done more. He should take a tough stance on the Mexican trucks and several other things. But Obama is not going after workers and the middleclass like the tea baggers are. Forget about abortion and gun control, these issues come up at every election and they haven’t changed. Who cares!? If you have guns GREAT! Load em if you got em. If someone comes to take your guns have a shoot out…last stand…pry those guns from your cold dead hand. It isn’t going to happen! Get your mistress pregnant and go to a doctor who will perform an abortion in a state where such things are legal if you want. Me and many Americans could care less.


If you are still worried about Obama's birth, get over it! You aren't going to change that now. If you are worried about Obama's relationship with Jeremiah Wright, get over it! Obama hasn't come out saying "Lets get white people" has he?

Are you really worried about same sex relationships? Most states already recognize same sex relationships and allow them to have the same benefits as married couples they just don't openly say it. Is that breaking down your house hold? Is it making your neighborhood a bad place to live? Is there money missing from your pension or your pay check because two guys are having sex with each other next door? Are your children going to miss a meal because two women are sleeping together across the street?

Romney is going to be tough when he can make a profit for his big business buddies. Tough on China? please, Big Business doesn't see China as a threat. Heck, China is the way to big profits because China has cheap sweatshop labor. Big Business and Romney want YOU to work in a sweat shop with no bathroom breaks, no water breaks, no breaks at all and for low wages so they can have goods produced as cheaply as possible and sell them at the biggest profit then take those profits for the CEOs not sharing them with the people doing the work.

Go ahead, vote for Romney. Go ahead, vote for the tea baggers. Vote against your pension. Vote against better wages and working conditions. Vote against the middleclass. When you are run out of your home because you are laid off or because the boss doesn't want to pay you a fair wage anymore DON’T BLAME THE TEAMSTERS! Blame yourselves. We have given you fair warning for years.
