SeeSaw,

My son is one year out of college. All three of my stepsons are also out of college and working adults.

Had any of them come home whining about being pepper sprayed after participating in a campus protest, we would have laughed them out of the house.

Our rules always were and still are, When you put yourself in harms way, be prepared for the consequences.

Well Rex, these groups like the CTA, et al are composed of thousands of people, and they don’t have as much money in one donation as individual, rich donors like Adelson, the Mungers, Whitman, Koch Bros., etc. That’s why I relate to the middle class, which is what the Teachers, and other public workers are–the middle class! The Koch Bros. are just getting started in CA. They recently infused a lot of money into the Prop. 32 campaign. And, they are from Kansas! How much money do you see the CTA sending to Kansas?

They don’t have one modicum of the influence on elections, as the likes of the Koch Bros., Sheldon Adelson, et al.

LOL….errr…right seesaw!

Teachers union is tops

The biggest special interest donor, the California Teachers Association, spent more than $118 million on campaigns in the state during the past five election cycles and the first half of this one. The union has focused overwhelmingly on initiatives, spending $100 million of that war chest advocating and opposing ballot measures over the past dozen years.

Democrats benefit

Not surprisingly in California, the top donors directed their money in large part toward the Democratic Party, which controls the governor’s office and the state Legislature. Overall, these donors – 50 wealthy individuals and 50 special interest groups analyzed by California Watch – gave twice as much to Democratic candidates as they did members of other political parties.

(ps seesaw, where were those “Koch” brothers??????)
