A good point ~ we probably need to convince some of these yahoos that the Republican party is a coalition of willing partners ~ and if they aren’t willing, go try the other guys.
Something like 40% of Michigan union members supported RTW and I know my neighbor really liked Rick Santorum’s ideas on bringing jobs back to the USA. The neighbor said Santorum spoke about our ridiculous tax structure on manufactured products and the guy on the factory floor understands that it hurts a company.
Mitt Romney did himself no favors when he attacked Santorum for reaching out to the blue collar union crowd. They saw it as an insult.
