CHRIS MATTHEWS: REPUBLICANS ‘TREAT TRAINS LIKE HISPANICS
Breitbart ^ | 05/15/2015 | AN HANCHETT

Posted on 05/15/2015 4:07:55 PM PDT by Kid Shelleen

MSNBC’s “Hardball” host Chris Matthews said that Republicans “treat trains like Hispanics” on Thursday.

Matthews argued that AMTRAK could “unite this country. It wouldn’t be flyover country, it would be one country again. Rail could bring us together. Culturally, it would be the greatest thing. St. Louis would boom, Cincinnati, all those train stops, all those rail heads would be back in business big-time, if we were united by rail, instead of flyover, looking down on the people, the everyday people.”

If there was an actual need for trains — they would be economical to run as a private enterprise.

Spot on. Chris Matthews is an economic moonbat.

I am reminded of the line in Rob Roy: “Do you take me entirely for a wig, Sir?”

Chrissie, yes; nothing under his hat but a wig.

Chris Matthews is an angry white male, a creep, and an idiot. The railroads lost the war with the airlines 50 years ago. They remain useful as a way to move heavy loads and to provide people with a heavily-subsidized form of travel nostalgia (Amtrak).

Dear Chris,

when was the last time you opted to take a train...anywhere?

Sincerely,

M.M.

Paying $40.00 / hour salaries to railroad unionistas is the problem - 2/3’s of revenues goes to labor.

insane.

(and most of the fare-paying customers are well-heeled business types shuttling up and down the BoWash corridor - it ain’t for the unwashed, these trains.)

Matthews is a blithering idiot. It’ll take many things to unite this country and taxpayers subsidized trains are not one of them.

It just clicked when I saw the ridiculous headline. It’s hard to say which one is dumber than the other.
