Truckers for McCain

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.

You can't trust MC Bush and his Puppet Palin.

Trucking has gone down hill since deregulation was finalized in the 70's and 80's and each year has been worse than the year before. The majority of us are working to pay the fuel bills and insurance because the brokers and companies don't pass on the fuel-surcharge. They should be fined and have their authorities revoked when they take one cent of the fuel surcharge that owner operators are entitled to since they are paying the fuel bill.

Women are stupid if they vote for him because of the Palin Puppet who couldn't tell the truth if her life depended on it. The sad thing was that MC Bush used to be somewhat honest but he's crossed the line during this campaign.He's lost his mind to senior dementia if he thinks that anyone believes the crap that's being spewed out in his ads

Not all of us in the trucking community support McBush and his new toy Puppet Palin.You can find us at www.truckerspaces.com where we express our thoughts on ALL the candidates.

Biden's first wife was killed when she pulled directly into the path of a tractor trailer . The truck driver was cleared of any fault . Yet Biden alleges in speeches that the driver was drinking . Not a bit of truth to it . Biden would surely shaft truckers and Obama voted in favor of the guest worker bill that would have opened the door for ATA to bring in thousands of immigrant truck drivers .

I wish I could afford to replace my 13-MPG '95 Montero. Maybe if Obama gets elected, I'll be able to.

I can't help but notice that absolutely every McCain supporter never, never cites issues as the reason for their support. Didn't McCain say he wanted to run on the issues? What chance would he have if he did that, since he's on the wrong side of EVERY issue?

What do we expect from truckers, indeed. Not much apparently.

On the other hand it would be nice if wanna-be elitists who poke fun of truckers for being politically ignorant, know the difference between 'they're' and 'their.' Nice job smart guy.

The only generalization that one can acurately make concerning truckers is that they defy generalization. They cover the spectrum of American sensibilities and consciousness. They tend to be fiercely loyal, independent and have a very big soft spot for veterans. They, like many Americans are also very susceptible to fear, a card the Republicans have played with great skill. They are scaared they will not be able to fill their tanks ($1,000.00 proposition these days) and get down the road to earn a living. They are afraid that their country has been sold out from under them, that they will be replaced by Mexican drivers with the blessings of the DOT, and that they are the last of a dying breed. In fear, they reach for something familiar and Obama, for all his merit, is not familiar. Fortunately, few of them actually vote.

Fellow Truckers be careful on what you ask for ! Mcain is a lobbyist for Mexico and to be exact,he travelled to Mexico and Colombia early this year campaigning for NAFTA philosophy. WHEN MEXICAN TRUCKERS BEGIN TO LOOM OUR ROADS,MCAIN WILL NOT HELP. HOW DO YOU GUYS RESEAN TO SUPPORT A GUY AND REGIME THAT SUPPORTS LAWS THAT THREATEN OUR INDUSTRY? DON'T YOU GUYS SEE MEXICO REGISTERED TRUCKS ON OUR HIGHWAYS ALL OVER THE NATION?.......OBAMA WILL PROTECT LOCAL JOBS.
