Trucking News: Teamsters Endorse Obama in 2012

[theakerstwo]

As for as grabing guns he is the one that put the guns down in meaxic so they could kill people and then try to blame trhe american public for donig it and then stop the gun sales. Afool only would not understand that logic.Criminals will not rob a arm man and a dictator and got no power over a armed public.He would like to disarm ever man and woman in America. He is a disrepectable man out of his country.He does not belong here but people elected him onlt because he said he would change the country and he sure has done that.He wants be be just like hitler and disarm ever one so he can do as he wants.

[theakerstwo]

I fear the country will not withstand another term of this president, or his current political system.

Rob

I thing he plans on taking it anyway. They have put a order in for millions of .40 caliber hollow points rounds. What for?

[theakerstwo]

And all he has to do is declare a war in the world some were and it would have to be before nov. and he could supspend the elections and the democrate senate would back him.

[41chevy]

He won't be re elected ...... No way no how , it's hilarious that someone would believe he would ...lmfao

He has been very busy buying voters. The gay marriage gave him the Hollywood stars whose fans will listen the them like they preach the gospel.

What happens behind the scenes? UN deals, Russian promises? Remember China owns us because of him and his kind.

Ammo? if you buy it all up the rabble has guns with no bullets...bingo gun control with no fuss. DHS and FEMA now have the ability to control the food, water and transportation as a "strategic supplies". Hungry and thirsty enough to be docile. Most of the population can't survive if it doesn't come in a bag, box or with a toy.

This Teamster will be supportin' Barack- He done good for us!

OK......Obama has a 3.5 year track record, so why don't you start listing all the good he has done for us??? I have been a Teamster in good standing for 41 years, and if I remember correctly, was it not the Dem. Robert Kennedy that put his father in jail after he helped get his big brother Jack elected Pres. in 1960??? and was it not Nixon the Rep. that pardoned him???? It seems like every 30 years or so we have to go through this 'trying to make us a socialist country BS' and It just don't work over here!! I think the last guys name was Jimmy Carter that tried it? That went well didn't It!!!

To each his own. My opinion?-this guy is a fraud-one minute he is in his Harvard speech mode, and the next, he is "jive talkin" to the bro's. What did he EVER do in his life? Why are there so many mysteries surrounding his past? Romney supposedly cut some kid's hair off and everyone pops out of the woodwork with the details. Obama? NO one remembers him from any point in his past? How can that be? This smooth talking dynamic personality and NO ONE REMEMBERS HIM?

Now Gearhead, if you like Obama, and you like Hoffa, you must buy into the free lunch society. Well just look at what Europe is going through. Now the dumb French go and elect a socialist who they think will no longert hold their feet to the fire in terms of reforms but will continue the handouts. The Italians have a new leader (Monti) who is well respected in the world but he is having trouble getting them to face the facts. The Greeks? forget it-they do nothing as far as the world economy is concerned but non the less, they will drag the rest of Europe down.

Oh well-lunch is over-back to the real world. Last point, if you appreciate our standard of living, and what we have in comparison to the rest of the world, think about what this socialist wants to do to business and the rights of individuals and who supports him-in my book radical liberals and big unions led by individuals who feed off the dues of members who often have no real say. Am I anti union? Absolutely not. I've dealt with them for 44 years. I just think there has to be a balance so that everyone has a choice. The NLRB was supposed to provide a balance to protect all workers rights-from abuses by employers as well as abuses by Unions.

Guess what, your man has been attempting to stack the deck so it is a big union tool--Ah-keep those contributions coming.

By the way, the Hollywood crowd raised 50 mil last night for their man. "Hollywood"-now there is a good bunch of people!

I have not one, not two, but five uncles and relations that are all retired Teamsters and not one of them will vote for this president's re election. Now I'm too young to remember much about Jimmy Hoffa, but freight, and commodity hauling put a lot of groceries on our table so I'm partial to trucking. I am also very partial that everybody have a fair chance at making a living. This is the primary reason I support deregulation, and recinding government controls on most anything. Next thing on the agenda would be to tie the tree huggers asses to their species of choice because they are strangling everybody with ropes that should be used on them.

[Rob]

you know,,,i didnt mean to be so brutal,,,just dont think he has any balls,,,and he doesnt amount to a pimple on his dads ass,,,and those of you that are still teamsters,,i wish you all the luck in the world.bob

Shit, I though you was being kind.

[GearheadGrrrl]

BTW, the Teamster's endorsement is decided by a poll of the membership... So if your Teamster Bros ain't supportin' Obama, they're in the minority!

Being in the minority is nothing unfamiliar to me. However, it is simply amazing what grit, determination, and an open mind can accomplish for the betterment of all. We as a country are currently on a collision course we do not need to be on. The current political climate actually fosters our own decline, then demise.

I vote for change, and I mean severe overhaul. Not the kind of change the current administration envisions. Hell, they don't even retain the same campaign slogan for this cycle. Seems to me it didn't work out so well for them.

If this poll (election) is legitimate, it will be a first for your beloved union.

I been a Teamster since 1972. Now that said this was, as I read it, a national poll was sent out Hoffa and his staff to all members, myself and 4 employees on L.I. and my Cousin and his 6 people in Hunter, my neighbor who works for Lizza Asphault in Glen Cove......none of us recieved any poll or question of endorsement....none!

JFK created the SEIU and wooed the Teamsters to get elected, that done he no longer needed the SEIU and us and released RFK to "take them down".

Knowing how my relatives who were Teamsters in the 50's, 60's felt , I can see that Jimmy Jr. isn't half the man his father was, and yes times are different now and things are more like a Ponzi scheme with only the very top getting the benefits. My opinion. Paul

I'm with you Brad, that day isn't to far off, this retired teamster is not for Obama

[lucerne tractor]

Teamsters want full controll of trucking again. The ioo isn't liked much. They want all truckers to work for a large company that can be unionized. Thats what the recorder is all about and making the trucks that go to ports employees of the port, that keeps independants out. They passed the law were your truck had to be almost new, then you had to have a apu now they want the recorder and make the docks your employer. The docks is about all the union has left and they are a joke.

I went to pick up a loader at the docks in Delaware, I had to have an escort, for security, $100.00 an hour, she sat in my truck and texted all that time, I asked her who loaded me, she didn't know,I asked what did they load, she didn't know.

I asked the supervisor why 7 guys to load a loader, we call it a gang he said. ??? What the......... So when it came time to load I said I wanted it backed on, no one dared to, I had to load it and my friends while they watched.

Even better, I took an army tank down there to be loaded on a ship, I had the keys and it ran, had the guns and all,it was going to war. I hauled it through Maine,NH.Ma.NY.NJ.DC.They asked if I had a twic card, I said no,they said I had to leave, I was a security risk. I was a security risk because I didn't have a card, so they sent me back out of the gates WITH A TANK that I was trying to give them. Figure that one out. After I paid $30.00 and got a cardboard card I was safe to let in.

Here's the tank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE08xVK6W_s

Here's the tank http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE08xVK6W_s

If it was being pulled with a Mack, the guard would have said "come right on in here and let me get a gander at that fine truck".

[mowerman]

I'm with you Brad, that day isn't to far off, this retired teamster is not for Obama

wow,,,love your handle,,,and welcome...bob

You and the other truck should have run side by side with a sign that says

'Say Something. Go ahead, say it"
