Yellow Dog UAW
by Daniel Short
Did anyone catch the full page ad in the A section of the Courier-Journal today? Right there on page A5 is a big waste of money that thanks Congressman Baron Hill from the ninth district of Indiana for supporting higher fuel mileage standards. Here is the kicker - it is endorsed and in part paid for by the UAW! Isn't this a little like a hen supporting Colonel Sanders? This ad states the legislation "will enhance our energy security, protect jobs in Indiana and preserve vehicle choice." HUH? It will precisely do none of the three. Energy security will be achieved by new technology. Until that technology is available, we need to utilize our own oil that is under our own ground. With the environmentalist wing lining the pockets of the Democrat party, any chance of bringing it up to relieve pressure from foreign markets is slim. Second, this legislation does not protect jobs anywhere. Someone please tell me how added restrictions and regulations helps to expand an economy? Indiana has a Navistar plant that produces not so efficient diesel engines for one of the Ford plants in Louisville where many Hoosiers work. I figure that more restrictions = higher costs = less produced = fewer jobs. Finally, the ad says the bill will preserve vehicle choice. If the legislation keeps it up at this pace, the only choice you will have will be between a Prius and a moped. The government once again feels that we cannot make decisions for ourselves. Why don't we just let the consumers and the market figure this one out?
Now it makes me wonder what Baron Hill has done for the UAW? Why else would they endorse this plan? Aren't the big three in Detroit in bad enough shape as it is?
Ah but I am reminded that the UAW would endorse even a yellow dog so long as he was a Democrat!

Talk about the hen supporting Colonel Sanders - you obviously have some UAW affiliation. Let me guess, you work at Ford! Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black? So as long as they help you keep your job, you're in - It's great you're willing to sacrifice your dignity (ie union dues) to support such a character as Baron Hill!
I am actually a Mike Sodrel supporter. The fact is the UAW will not support Mike even though many of his positions are in their best interest. They simply will not endorse a Republican.
My husband works for Ford and yes they take out union dues but not by choice. The UAW sends out their "Solidarity" magazine which ALWAYS supports Democrats and Liberals and expects the UAW members to do so as well. Well, it goes in the trash as soon as we get it! For those of you who don't know, Ford gives LOTS of money to the homosexual agenda (thanks to Bill Ford). No wonder they are in such bad shape financially. CONSERVATIVES UNITE!
No, here's what it is: A working man voting Republican is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders.
Re: the new albanian
C'moooooon now! Do your homework, for your own sake.
A working man voting for a Democrat is comparable to a Jew voting for Hitler. It's called SUPPRESSION. Their aim, for many, many years, has been to suppress the people so the people will have to depend on their social programs...get it!?
(slapping forehead) I give up!
