Most blue collar whites won’t get along with socially pathological middle class employees in corporate-government offices. The only way to get our votes is to show us a good man—one who has no allegiance to communist China, American feminists or sexually confused leaders of any kind.

Politics! Friends, prepare, and stop buying!

BTW, those very few of us “blue collar” men still living are far more skilled than any other group in the population. We can fix, build or manufacture just about anything, but there are many regulations against men at work—mostly local regulations. And we’re not going to pay business-killing flooring costs to some lazy main street landlord/landlady or get any loan from a thieving bank.

Continue to your economic consequences of political correctness, then we’ll see about rebuilding this country for you.

The demonic Obama doesn’t (and can’t) even follow through with promises to help American workers whose work is in trouble. There’s no reason the working redneck (of almost any color, though it’s hard to get black ones to leave the plantation) should go for Barack Obama in 2012. He is not trustworthy.

I wish more posters would have responded to my first post — request.

I was hoping to learn something.

Blue collar Whites will be a big factor in our win next year.

If blue collar workers allow themselves to be scammed by the frauds in the White House and the DNC, including the unions, they will deserve the poverty it brings them.

And your country will be ruined along with them.

It is probably impossible for the GOP to become American worker friendly.

So, which is it? American workers, or Chinese workers?

Neither major party cares.

We should.

“We should.”

How do you propose we prevent blue collar workers from participating in the liberal destruction of America?

Some protectionism has to be on the table. Another good idea would be to break up the national unions. I wonder if blue collar workers would go for the latter. How many would go along with right to work laws?

Conservatism will re-invigorate our economy, manufacturing, energy production, and that growth will put people back to work at all levels. How can that not appeal to blue collar workers?
