Truckers for McCain

By Paul Bedard

If you've got a nice blue and white "Obama for President" sticker on the back of your Toyota Prius and a big 18-wheel rig starts riding your butt, it might be best to let him by because it's very likely that the driver isn't on your political team. It's an unofficial poll, but a site for truckers, finds that Sen. John McCain is the industry's fave over Sen. Barack Obama, 67 to 27 percent.

Well yes I'm a republican (regan republican) and I know the McCain white house will not be there to TAKE money from me to GIVE it to some Section 8 person who has probably not ever worked a job except having more kids for the Republicans to support.

Paulin has forgotten more about what to do than Joe Biden will ever know. Biden is a major part of the problem and Berry O just wants a better government job.

So truckers are not dopes. We work hard to make things happen.

Remember "GOOD STUFF TRUCKS BRING IT"

Any truckers that would advocate or support McCain are advocating their own unemployment, they have to be brain dead, aren't truckers aware of McCain's immigration and amnesty positions?

Don't those truckers know that a McCain amnesty would crater their wages and raise their taxes?

O that's right McCain's advisor is Douglas Holtz Eakin former CBO excutuve that said "immigrants don't cost us anything or lower wages" so another amnesty & millions of people awarded eligibility for even more subsidies is just a fiction like our 9 trillion dollars of debt.
