Slug, we have many skilled trades who vote Republican. They have their head so far up their own behind they don't know which end is up. They think they are helping themselves while they are screwing themselves and the rest of us. I've talked to many and not one has made a good case as to why any union member should vote Republican ever. Look at Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, NJ, Florida, etc. Republicans are trying to kill unions. Even here in Michigan. A union member who votes Republican should be called MORON at best, you can think of a lot worse.
