How big of a bun do you need for a Schaitburger? Can’t wait to see his next job if Baraqi wins. Where is the Firefighters for Mccain website?

Sparky, The President does not have anything to do with the wages or benefits paid to fire fighters, or any one who is not a federal employee.

And actually, although their are fire fighters who are hard R’s, just like their are fire fighters who are hard D’s, but the average fire fighter is more middle of the road, and, as Chris said, wants to best person to lead the country.

With that said, we look at the candidates as to what they will do to/for, or against us as working people.

Because the IAFF is a major Union, you know that they are going to endorse a candidate, just like they will in congressional and senate races. The basic thought process is, what have the candidates done, to/for, or against us.

When you analyze it, the endorsement was evident.

John McCain has voted against every initiatve that would benefit us, Obama has voted with us.

If you don’t like the way it came out, my suggestion is to put a resolution in at the next Convention to do it some other way.

As a firefighter wages and benefits are definately at the top of my list. BUT, this is about our country as a whole and not just about how a certain candidate treats firefighters, steel workers, teachers or any other unionized group. We cannot pick the leader of our entire nation based upon what he may or may not do for our particular profession. WE need to do that at a local, state and federal level.

Very interesting, because I’ll bet if you asked most Firefighters, they would tell you they are conservative. This isn’t about politics, this is about wages and benifits…who will be willing to push for higher wages.
