Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

I say hire a bunch of "undocumented workers" to gaurd the border. Now before you say WTF am I thinking. Listen to this ideal. Hire a few of the more selfish ones, arm them with a "assualt weapon". Then tell them they will make say $200 a day plus $1 for every border jumpers corpse they have stacked up at the end of the day when the bossman comes back. Sure they might let their family & friends over but I'm sure it would slow the flow down & another plus is they would actually pay taxes & not be throwing soo much toilet paper in the bathroom floors of your local Home Depot or Lowes!!

Actually what will work is for Obama to tell them that the Chupracabra is replacing the Bald Eagle as our nation's symbol......Being very superstitious they'll beat the fences down to get home.....

Not as long as "elected MISrepresentatives" are in their back pocket believing in their own omnipotence...attempting to "control"...setting standards through legislation and mandates enforced through the tax code sold in the name of "the greater good" for "the will of the people" with class warfare rhetoric, denying a History of "failure"...

Big problem here; no pay (volunteer) and no weapons!

Anyone else see a problem here? Lets move our american targets closer to the border!
NO WEAPONS??? Are u kidding me?
let's see how that would sound:
"STOP OR I'LL SHO...OR I'LL SAY STOP AGAIN!!!"

Denying a history of failure all depends on ones point of view
complain about "class warfare" and congress in the "back pocket" which is kinda funny as it is the money that puts them in the pocket but if someone tried to do something about it they would cite class warfare and claim that we persecute the "rich"
