This is another facet of the issue. It is not Democrat or Republican. It is not black or white, yes or no....
This is something that is very grey and many guys have trouble dealing in the grey. The want yes/no answers that are quantifiable.
What are the issues and what politican supports your issues. If a GOP supports Air Line Pilots issues then support him/her. Polarizing around the party is mindless.....
Magnum you should be very concerned about Fred Smith and his push for Foreign ownership... at the same time you'll be glad to know that many republicans voted against foriegn control.....
You guys in the ANG/Reserve have it tough..... which is more important... (which one generates more income) your civilian labor job or your military officer job.... opposite sides politically.. (when it comes to the Prez vote)
I AM very concerned about foreign ownership! I know Fred would immediately open up a "little China" in east Memphis and give free housing to any chinese pilot who would live here and fly his boxes for 25k/year. And I WILL vote against politician who advocates this type of stuff, be they republican, democrat, libertarian, or whatever.
If I ever truly believe my job depends on a political race, I'll vote my job in a heartbeat. However, I don't think the occupant of the WH has as much influence over these issues as do the pogues in Congress. If that means I vote for a GOPer for President and a Dem for the House or Senate (or vice versa), I'll do it in a heartbeat.
The intention (in my opinion) of the Founders was that the President is the Chief Foreign Policy officer of the US and the Congress would handle the domestic issues. Of course, they also had no intention for anyone to be a career politician, either. I actually have more to say on this issue, but I'm just so dam* irritated with every jack*ss in Congress right now that I'm just getting spun up.
Have a great 4th, Rez.
