I see you say 'ruling class,' which makes me think your talkin' revolution. But what kind? I don't like the fact that some guy sittin' in an office makin' phone calls is worth 400 times what I am. Are you talkin' about economic justice?

Man, have you gotta problem with John Law! I've been maced doin' strike support, so I guess you're okay if that's why you hate cops. But I gotta ask: are you a jailhouse lawyer whose writing from Anamosa or Ft Madison? You serving time for drunk driving? Just seems like you hate cops, lawyers, courts. What gives?

You gotta be kidding! This guy is a one-trick pony, has nothing to offer except a way to waste your vote.

I didn't forget ya. Had to shoot a few extra rounds: don't worry, I'm not threatening you, I just do my best thinking on the range.
I never did college prep in high school. I did voc ed, because I like working with my hands. I wanted to follow in my daddy's footsteps: he did fine working the line, union man, feeding his family. You're dead wrong if you think this country can survive without manufacturing, and manufacturing needs people like me.
You think management is smarter and better than us on the line; I think management would have nothing to manage without line workers, and they can't operate the line. WE do. If you drive a vehicle built in North America, look at the plastics: I'm there, like it or not. Respect us, and remember: we outnumber you.

How many rich men turned wrenches on the car you drive? Any rich men frame your house, plumb it, wire it, drywall it, paint it? How many rich men drive the trucks that bring you the food you eat? Any rich men build that chair your sitting your soft butt in?

You spend six months on the line with me and you'll change your tune. Or, do you wear a TIE to work everyday?

How much collective bargaining you do, Sparky? Take it from me: no one in management ever asked ME how much to pay the stuffed suit at the top: those guys make what, 400 times what the average worker does? And you're gonna blame unions for THAT?

I don't like slackers, and I kicked a kid's butt once for pulling Brian Bosworth stunts on the line. But don't blame US for the dopes who don't engineer the stuff right or run the company into the ground.

I'm entitled to straight answers from the people who run this country. Working people deserve a strong union to stand up for them against management. As long as I show up, on time, ready for my shift, and work as hard as I can, I deserve to be treated decent by management.

You got a problem with any of that, Sparky?

Sonderkraftfahrzeug (abbreviated Sd.Kfz.) is German for "special purpose vehicle." If you'd spent any time wrenchin' on M60s, you'd understand.

Ya just can't admit you're attracted to me. Sorry, like GlennBoy, you ain't my type. Too soft from spending all your time sittin' at a desk watchin' guys like me doin' real work.
