Re: LQD: How the GOP Won the Working Class (4.00 / 2)
sigh, here I go again ...

There is plenty of blame to go around.  

I hold no brief for the Democratic Party.  NAFTA has been a disaster and their support for the off-shoring of blue collar jobs, that started in the mid-60s BTW.

Simultaneously, Meany and his band of merry men made it perfectly clear they were more interested in melding with Nixon, the GOP, and the Right Wing of the Democratic Party than they were with us DFH pinko commies.  

The Unions brought the working class to the GOP.
