Hoffa: GOP Has Destroyed Itself

Jimmy Hoffa doesn’t have a presidential candidate he and his powerful Teamster’s union is backing, but he praises Democratic candidate John Edwards for making strong appeals to labor a centerpiece of his campaign.

Since James P. Hoffa, the son of the legendary Teamster’s boss, took the presidency of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in 1999, he has energized his 1.4 million membership, making the country’s 4th largest union once again politically relevant and influential.

At 66, Hoffa is not only busy building union membership – conducting recruiting efforts among workers at UPS, FedEx, and solid waste companies – but also using the Teamsters clout to influence U.S. trade policies, block unfettered access of Mexican trucks into the U.S., and push for Iran divestment. He is even making a mark in the world of cyberspace – the Teamsters Web site, teamster.org, buzzes with blogs, commentaries, and the latest news for union members.

Hoffa’s main obsession today is making sure his union can adapt to a rapidly changing political landscape and help Democrats retake the White House in 2008.

“The Republican Party has destroyed itself,â€

What a nut case! This guy doesn't support illegal immigration or a guest worker program, however, he thinks a Democrat would be our best hope. Furthermore, this looney obviously hasn't being paying attention to Duncan Hunter's message or the man himself. Hunter does not support NAFTA or CAFTA (his votes prove it), attempted to stop the Mexican trucks from crossing the border through an amendment, wants to bring back our manufacturing jobs, wants to fence off the border and deport all illegals, and supports fair trade, not free trade. Is Hoffa living in his own little world or what? Well, considering his age, perhaps dementia is setting in.

Mark my words, a Democrat controlled Congress + Democrat President = amnesty for 20 to 30 million illegal aliens. Hoffa needs a serious reality check!

Reading between the lines...

I do think we have to find a way to integrate the people who are here and control our borders.

Hoffa wants amnesty for the illegal aliens that are already here.
