Parrot saying 'hello' wakes man who shoots burglar

Absolutely untrue! Here in Vegas (Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson) all endorse democrat candidates and the vast majority when polled consider themselves moderate democrats.

Wrong, most police unions are for democratic candidates. If you ask the patrol officers it is a different story.

And I would like to see the source of your poll.

Unions = support democratic candidates. ALL unions wether LE or not.

But if look closer the largest percentages of LE are conservative and for conservative pro gun/ second amendment candiadates.

Now that makes sense! I am sorry, I just thought you were restating what he said, now I feel like the fool.

No prob

being pro 2nd amendment doesn't automatically make you conservative. I'm pro-gun, avid hunter, but I'm as liberal as they come. That's a tired argument.

Yes but you must admit that you are in the minority of 2nd Amendment supporters.

Mon petite, you do not know history . . . Unions have indeed supported Republicans in the past:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - One of the biggest U.S. trade unions made an unusual dual presidential endorsement of Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Mike Huckabee on Thursday, while Democrat John Edwards won the 2008 backing of the carpenters' union.

In 1972, the Teamsters backed President Nixon, a Republican, but stayed neutral in 1976. It supported Ronald Reagan, another Republican, in 1980 and 1984, and endorsed Bush's father in 1988. In 1992, however, the union abandoned Bush and joined the AFL-CIO in endorsing Democrat Bill Clinton. It did not support Clinton's 1996 re-election, and also rejected GOP nominee Bob Dole.

Hmm sounds like they were just trying to get support with the Republican union memeber to me. Huckabee didn't have much of a chance to start with.



Why yes Tock, I actually do. Of all the political campaigns I have seen since the early 90's all of the unions support democratic candidates such as Gray Davis, Diane Feinstein, and a slew of others. I was in a union at my last job and we were constantly bombarded with mailings and flyers left at work say the Democrats were on our side and if we did not vote for them we were against the "working person."

If you have to dig up news stories from that long ago then you need to look at the present becasue thats where we are
