The goal of the GOP should be to split the Democrat party union vote. Public sector union members are nearly half of that coalition now. They do not work in the interest of those in private sector unions. Steelworkers are not fond of "divesity", "multiculturalism", the homosexual agenda, high taxes, affirmative action, welfare and other causes pushed by their brethern in the NEA, NTEU, AFSCME, AFT and other government unions.

I tried to bring up what you proposed in the last presidential election. The Goron represented unemployment to the union members in the automobile industry, construction industry and most major industries. Yet, like dazed robots, most supported and voted for Goron and the Rats running for congress in 2000.

The rat party is anti second amendment and hates private gun ownership, and a very large % of the unions you cite and I have mentioned above own guns and are avid hunters. Yet they continue to vote for the rats who try to take away their guns.

Many are good Catholics and detest abortion on a personal level. Yet they vote for rats like Davis, ChiFi and Boxer who are the devils advocates for abortion.

They are so infested with generations of Rat Poisoning of their souls, they vote and support Rats like the Goron and Davis.

They should be on our side for the survival of their jobs, trades and families. If Kyoto had become the law of the land, most would be out of jobs by now.

I hope that our stealth president can win over a sizable % of the union members who work in the private sector. Their survival depends on businesses growing not the non business growth of the governmental union members as you so wisely pointed out.

Your reply is an excellent one re the non government union members and their survival.

Perhaps many in the the Steel workers will respond to Bush's move on protecting the Steel industry. He is taking a great deal of criticism (here also) for dropping his Free Trade campaign promises.
