Political Quotes

“A few years back towards the end of my grandfather's life--he was a steelworker for about 40 years--and towards the end of his life, he couldn't drive anymore. I had the pleasure one day of taking him shopping. In Ohio, and where I come from in Niles, shopping is an art form; so we had to go to a certain place for the meat and a certain place for the cheese and a certain place for something that was on sale somewhere else. So I got to spend the day with my grandpa. We had to go and get something, and he said we should go to a certain store. I said: Well, Grandpa, Giant Eagle is right here. We can just go right here. He said: We can't go there. I said: Why not? It's right here. He said: The meat cutters are on strike and we can't cross the picket line. He didn't go to Giant Eagle out of respect for the worker, out of respect for the situation that those workers were in at that grocery store. And the issue that we are talking about in Ohio and in Wisconsin is an issue of respect for the average worker in the United States of America.”
