republiCONs do you watch football, baseball or basketball?

Do you like safe streets with cops on the beat? Guards in prisons?

All of these groups have something in common. They all have strong unions so why do you favor them so much?

Could it be they don't really produce any worthwhile product? Cops and guards perform a needed service and athletes entertain us so why do you partake and pay them so well if they really don't produce anything? So you DO support unions after all, but just the ones you like.

Update:

Actually Mike, I don't support unions either. I just like stirring things once in a while. I happen to agree with most of what you said.

    Actually, No I don't watch sports of any kind, And while were on the subject, I don't favor cops or firemen over anymore then any other group, And feel they get way to much recognition for doing a job their paid to do, They have a job, Just like anyone else in society, If they feel their job is extraordinary because of the danger involved, Then maybe they should pic k another profession. I'm still against unions, Including the ones that pay sports stars, Police and firemen. Nice attempt at a straw man. Pray tell why, ( I still don't have a clue what the heck that means) Your avatar makes you slightly look like Gene Simmons. God bless.

    "RepubliCONs do you watch football, baseball or basketball?"

    Neither. I've always hated sports. I've always found them boring.

    "Do you like safe streets with cops on the beat? Guards in prisons?"

    Sure.

    "All of these groups have something in common. They all have strong unions so why do you favor them so much?"

    Where is it written that we Republicans have to hate them because they have a union? Besides which, police and prison guards dont need a union to exist.

    "So you DO support unions after all, but just the ones you like."

    No. I can support a police officer without supporting his union.

    Unions are great, look at what they have done for the auto industry, the steel industry, the shipbuilding industry, the garment industry.

    Oh wait, unions trash whatever industry they touch, sorry.
