[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 646374, member: 2189"] Fedex, Go back and look at your original post #51 but then in my response in post #75 you'll notice in quoting #51 I highlighted in bold with emphasis meaning my response was to that specific point. Now here is the section I was responding and also my response. OK, notice in my response that the 2 words [URL="http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1368&dat=19840830&id=rN0VAAAAIBAJ&sjid=VBIEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7030,7442893"][U][COLOR=red]your history[/COLOR][/U][/URL]are in red and underlined? Place your cursor over these 2 words and buried is a link to a newspaper article from a longtime ago. The buried link is the reason I changed font colors to highlight the link. In the August 30th, 1984 Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper, there was an article entitled "Teamsters Endorse Reagan, Bush Denies Deal" and the jux of the article was that like in 1980' the IBT endorsed Reagan again for President and there were allogations a backroom deal was made as payoff which VP Bush was denying. My comment of you not knowing union history had to do with that (and I stand by this statement) but if you did know the real history you might not be so quick to find it [B]ironic[/B] that a Teamster would vote and or support Reagan when in fact in both the 1980' and 1984' elections, the IBT itself endorsed Reagan. As for Reagan busting unions, well it makes for some pretty good myth because in truth the only union he did bust was PATCO which was gov't or quasi-gov't at the least. Most real damage done to unions took place in Congress who made international trade deals along with other factors that led many industries that were strong union to depart our shores and set up camp in other countries. Case in point is the steel industry. But at the same time the unions themselves have been their own worst enemies by the hand of their own corruptions and wrong doing. Ironic is it not that the more entrenched to gov't the union got, the more corruption followed? Hmmmmm, a connection maybe? [/QUOTE]
