I Wonder How Many Of The Sensata Plant People Will Still Vote GOP?

I know so many government workers where I live who still vote GOP even when they are telling them they want to fire them.
I cannot wrap my head around the depths of delusion I see in so many workers.

they lose their job or benefits or something else. this is especially true of people like government workers, people who get govt assistance etc.

just look at freepers and some others trying to rationalize Romney's 47 percent comments and how he didn't mean "them". when of course he meant them. .

some years back i use to go to some political chat thing and there was a person who worked at walmart. she was always spewing right wing crap . then she got fired because she got pregnant . and she just couldn't believe it.

Or did she become one of Romney's "moochers" and get on food stamps, medicaid, and section 8 housing? I could only imagine.

Over the years I've lost count of how many co-workers ( unionized no less ) constantly bash other workers in our industry or others ( union or non-union ) as being overpaid or having it too easy, or willing to throw them under the bus to save a buck: As if the big man "knows" they are too valuable to axe or cut their compensation.

So yeah they'll vote for the square jawed hardass conservative "business" types as long as they're still working, and especially if "he's a good christian".

Fucking selfish shallow jerkweeds. Alas, assault is illegal and frowned upon in the workplace.

Romney is personally involved and profiting from Bain.

People may not always be bright but this is pretty blatant.

The GOP propaganda machine has been able to take a wedge issue like racism and amplify it by constant propaganda. They basically dont like Americans enough to want to help them in any way. Enough so that they vote against their own best self-interests.

auto bumpers for Detroit. Four years ago we were in a big layoff, hell even I got laid off for a month and a half. The future for our company looked horrible. Then Obama came out with Cash for Clunkers and loaned money to Detroit. Within days we were all called back to work and have been busy ever since.

Most of my coworkers are right wing teabaggers and all deny that Obama saved their jobs!
