Can Someone Shed More Light Here?

[CE750Driver]

Labor / middle class voting republican is like chickens lining up to vote for Colonel Sanders.

Labor/middle class voting for Democrats is like the Turkeys that have been engineered with so much breast meat, they cant walk. As long as the Farmer feeds them, it works. As soon as the Farmer is gone, they die.

I would much rather watch Colonel Sanders walk away, and be able to live in the wild, than be dependant on Farmer Obama. Either way, you are going to die in the end. I just don't want to be dependant on someone, like you do.

bubba,
Is swa a better place to work bc Herb's a democrat?

I love when swa pilots enjoy a company that espouses caring about people, sharing profits, and creating a hard working luving company instead of paycuts and disproportionate bonuses take those ethics for granted.
There are a lot of republicans you could have chosen to work for.
Why did you choose Herb's 'socialist' agenda to dedicate your career to?

Back to the original poster.. Reading another article about this it sounds like Bain Cap did something illegal.... In relation to the union drive..And fired pilots over it. These appear to be the facts ..

Pilots who vote republican are f u c k i n g morons. We are labor.

Really? Blindly following any political party is moronic.

I would argue that pilots that put all their eggs in one basket and have no secondary income stream are f u c k i n g morons. Judging by your juvenile statement, you are counting on your airlines paycheck and retirement.

I could care less about my airline job, I am more interested in the state of my country and my small buisness. Obama is not going to save this industry, so plan accordingly. BTW, I voted Republican in the primary (Ron Paul), but will vote Libertarian (Gary Johnson) in the General Election. Obama and Romney are equally very bad for this profession, our country and the economy.

SWA is a great place to work, NOT because "Herb's a democrat," but because Herb is a compassionate visionary (and unique business genius) who created a unique company in our industry. He did what he did because of who he is, not who he voted for. Your argument seems to be, since "Herb's a democrat," then we should also vote for democrats. To that I could respond, well Lincoln (a much bigger and more important visionary than Herb) was a republican, so we should vote for republicans. The bottom line is, I don't vote for anyone because of who someone else voted for, and I recommend that nobody else should do that either.

And besides, as you know, there's a world of difference between President Obama and Herb Kelleher (just as there's a world of difference between your average republican-voting pilot, and a right-wing extremist). Herb's "socialist agenda" doesn't include taxing and regulating every aspect of our lives, recklessly spending money he doesn't have, and promoting government policies that stifle business and innovation. President Obama's "socialist agenda" does exactly that. Herb in his day, was the ultimate capitaist innovator; President Obama these days, seems to think that capitalism is a dirty word.

You know, you keep touting the whole "Herb's a democrat" thing to throw at Southwest pilots who disagree with your world view. But the truth of the matter is, that while Herb might be liberally socially, he is incredibly conservative fiscally. That, my friend is a very good thing. If Herb had run this airline the way President Obama is trying to run the economy, Southwest Airlines would have been bankrupt and gone long ago.

I only wish we had a presidential candidate that fit this description. Doesn't it feel that a socially conservative POTUS can have just as much impact on ones life as a fiscally liberal? Albeit in different avenues of life, but intrusive none the less. Stay out of my wallet, and stay out of my house.

I work for a TPG-company, and I see little difference between TPG and Bain Capital...but I see that changes that have been made under our new ownership. Yes I'm incredibly thankful to have a company that is still in business and that I'm still gainfully employed, but that does not mean it has been all fun and games.

You're still gonna vote for a guy - that's been shown in a US court to have engaged in illegal union busting activities. Firing pilots in order to sell a company.

You're still gonna vote for him aren't you ? Bubba.

Bottom line. The deficit under Obama has been increased MORE than during all of the other presidents terms COMBINED. You just can't teach stupid.
