I have stated many times that I am not an anarchist and that there is a role for government, rules/regs, in free markets. I agree that my tone is not sugar-coated

Perhaps if you didn't litter your examples with inexcusable jumps in logic we wouldn't be so easily distracted by the inexcusable jumps in the logic of your examples. What do you expect? You should spend more time explaining your position and less time clouding the waters with haphazardly constructed anecdotes, especially when they rarely support your position convincingly.

I can't afford focus groups, so feed back is very valuable in my preparation for a run for congress.
Note to self:
Let me be your "daddy" - don't use as a campaign slogan.
Promises to protect, shelter, cloth, and of riches, etc. - O.k.
Ask in turn for voters to go out and get me my money - don't do.
Note to self completed.
I agree that I need to sharpen my focus and avoid distracting jumps in logic and examples. I will work on that. Thanks for the tip.

How many auto workers were sitting around collecting unemployment? If you don't know the answer to this question then you're assumption that it was problematic is nothing but hot air.

My father was a union factory worker for over 30 years. I know how it works. Men wait and wait hoping and praying they get called back after a layoff. I know of men who basically waited 5 in some cases 10 years waiting for a call that never came. They would go to union meetings, to political rally's or to speeches by politicians getting false hope, false encouragement and false promises of a fading industrial base rebuilding when the actual and real trends were clear.
What is your experience with blue collar factor unions?

My political advisers (my wife and barber so far) tell me that running for US Congress is a mistake, that I should run for a state office first. I am actually thinking of running for national office to lose, and then send a audition clip to Fox News and make a ton of money. You have to admit, I have some pretty edgy yet funny stuff, what do you think?
