1980 Republican Platform--Ronald Reagan is the candidate:
We reaffirm our commitment to the fundamental principle of fairness in labor relations, including the legal right of unions to organize workers and to represent them through collective bargaining....
2012 Platform--Mitt Romney is the candidate:
We salute the Republican governors and state legislators who have saved their states from fiscal disaster by reforming their laws governing public employee unions.
and
1980: Neither Hispanics nor any other American citizens should be barred from education or employment opportunities because English is not their first language.
2012: ...while we encourage the retention and transmission of heritage tongues, we support English as the nation’s official language.
Amazing how its always the little guy that is responsible for the fiscal mess we are in. They never seem to reform their pensions. They always walk away with the big bucks and we get left with holding the bag for their posh retirement.
