"So all those “Reagan Democrats” in the AFL-CIO, Teamsters, IBEW and other unions were just a figment of someones imagination or a made-up chimera?"

Declarative statements posing as questions that begin with the word "So" and end with a question mark are lame but since you post so many fine threads I'll respond.

Here's what I clearly said: Rank and file unionists are are corrupt, greedy, thugs. Toss in lazy for seasoning. The disclaimer pols use claiming it's only the leadership is a lie.

Re Reagan Dem unionists: Not imagination nor made up chimera.. just past history.

I don’t recall being lazy or corrupt as I helped thousands of veterans find work as a Local Veterans Employment Represenative (LVER) at the Iowa Workforce Development Agency where I belonged to AFSCME for 15 years. OTOH, Gerald McEntee and the rest of the leadership of that union make ACORN and SEIU look like choir boys.

"Declarative statements posing as questions that begin with the word "So" and end with a question mark are lame but since you post so many fine threads I'll respond."

Referring to any sincere question posed by a fellow conservative patriot as "lame," regardless of phrasing or punctuation, is the very embodiment of that which actually is "lame." Further setting yourself up as some pseudo-big shot by deigning to reply because this other has somehow risen to fulfill your demanding criteria of worthiness marks you as a pompous spink.

Get over yourself, once you get your own roupeillaté out of your fetid rambouase. You spink.
