#1 Might be interesting to keep an eye on Washington; our Democratic majority legislature, led by a Dem govonr; have overturned an initiatve that the citizens approved 3 times that requires a 2/3 majority vote to raise taxes. this AFTER the Gov campaigned on a no tax platform. lots of people are royally pissed, and the anti-dem mood might just spill over to the federal office holders.
stay tuned.

#2 I think someone on the Republican side should try to insert a knife or two into Union Solidarity. Comments about Union connections to organized crime are not the American way. Comments about Union Representatives paid out of the check of the workers with a plan to continue agitating to ensure their own jobs and importants. Comments about how that strike fund (and strike) could have been part of everyones paychecks. How the union keeps the worst workers employed which holds the rest back, notably the teachers who have been unable to improve education despite ever increasing spending on education. That sort of thing...

Not everyone in a Union backs the Union or even thinks about it. Someone should start sewing the seeds of doubt so that the Union fold start to think and vote for themselves. Even if you peel off as mall number it would be worth it.

Yes Unions had their importance once. A few select industries might really need them still, but in more and more areas they are a hinderance.

#3 Why do I not believe that a huge majority of Republicans would be any better than a huge majority of Democraps?
It may appear to be more palatable on the surface, but their ideology would surely fail us if left unchecked also.
A new paradigm of political thought is needed here, or at least a major adjustment to all those asshats' thinking.
