This is a tactic right out of Pee-Wee Herman's playbook! I dare any 30k/yr republican to engage in a civil debate over the finer points to how we got here.


I'm tired of all the "talking cliche points" and scripted ideology from 30k/yr republicans.

You're unable to engage in debate period, that's why you continue to resort to deflection and personal attacks. You can't defend a group that promotes anger, hate and violence to achieve a goal so you have to resort to ignorance, it's the labor union way.

Now where are these 30K/yr republicans you're talking about?

Who are you talking to? You haven't said anything about any finer points, why don't you pull out your handbook, flip past the large chapter about picketing, signing collecting and violence and let us know about these finer points.

If we can infer from usage: Any individual whose opinion is contradictory to that of a UAW member.

You claim to have all the facts, teach us oh wise one. Please explain to me how I'm wrong without simply dismissing anything you don't like as a talking point.

Civility like you using terms like "30K/yr republicans" and "Get 'er Done crowd"? You keep making statements like a 13 year old, teach us about labor instead of being ignorant.

Nah, someone who typically votes against his/her economic interest on supposed loftier measures as "Gods/Gays/Guns" when those rights are protected and firmly cemented and is a moot point to even be discussed, especially with the "GOD" issue.

From your responses in this thread (and others), I don't think you are capable of having a civil debate.

As I said, you're tactics here lead me to think that video hits too close to home for you.
