I don't know how true that is,...
Godfather.

Could be true. I worked for a cookie cutter homebuilder during the '04 election. The big boss told the entire staff to vote for Bush if we wanted to keep our jobs.

Now how in the world was that homebuilder going to police who his staff is going to vote for? He can't go into the booth with each staffer.

True, but I definitely took it to mean they were keeping tabs on their employees' political leanings. I had already taken time off of work to fly across the country and attend the VFC shows, so...

I found a new (unionized government) job the following year, where I had the lovely experience this last election season of being told by a department manager that voting for Nader was voting for McCain. A third party voter can't win.

Regarding this road rage thing: I am stunned by the hostility of so much of the American public. It's frightening how completely irrational people are being. I have a former classmate as a Facebook friend who posts some crazy hateful things regarding Obabma and pretty much any democrat. I take a peek at his page every so often and it is scary. He comes off as exactly the kind of person who would run someone off the road for a bumper sticker.

Fixed.

Didn't Clinton sign NAFTA? That legislation probably cost this country more jobs than any other.

I point and laugh at the Obama/Biden bumper sticker crowd like I did the Bush/Cheney 04 crowd. Yeah it's childish but funny as hell.
