How many government workers are Republican?

I don't know why any government worker would vote Republican again.
The GOP is dedicated to making their life a hell.

I'll bet a large percentage are though.
Anyone know about how many?

You very rarely hear a Republican call for cuts to defense spending. I'm seeing people on this board who are apparently very happy that I'm about to be furloughed yet again. Makes me wonder if the Democrats really have my back or not....
