SeeSaw, why is it that the RAGWUS feeder must lie about the simplest things? The MMB Act was well into the legislative process long before RR was elected Governor!! Yes he should have vetoed it, but I am quite sure the RAGWUS cronies assured him that the MMB Act was a gem for the state, and that they would profit not one bit from its nefarious words. If he had known the true nature of its evil he would have never signed this corrupt law onto the books. 🙂

Media has their sugar daddies too. How do you think the bills get paid? Everybody’s got to eat.

Nobody gives both sides to the story anymore. Hell, at the gym today I watched CNN, MSNBC and FOX News simultaneously on 3 different TV’s. For an entire hour there were ZERO dissenting opinions that questioned the Syrian airstrikes and NO ONE asked whether our intervention was legal according to the provisions in the Geneva Convention or the UN Charter or the War Powers Act of 1973. The US is supposed to follow to all 3. Not an option. An obligation. All 3 stations were cheerleading the airstrikes which they admitted could go on literally for YEARS!!! Even the liberals were applauding!!! HAH!

I lost faith in the media long ago. I hate it when I have to go to the Huffington Post or Daily Kos to balance what I read in the conservative media, and vice-versa. If only we had a one-stop media site that would give us BOTH sides to the story without having to bounce from site to site.

And it’s not just the liberals who are causing the problem. Here, read this:

“Texas House Speaker Joe Straus wants a committee of journalists to decide which reporters are “legitimate” so the Legislature can limit Capitol access to sufficiently apolitical reporters.”

This red state conservative wants to flush ‘freedom of the press’ if there is any in the bowl left to flush.

I agree with you collapse, I have always said I will stop supporting my union of donating any money to a politician when the private sector corporations are stopped. Lets see who is the biggest donors to the repubs? It is a fact that private sector corporations outspend unions on elections. But you’re right collapse, how come the CWD ignores that fact??

You evidently don’t realize that it was Republican Governor Ronald Reagan who ushered in unions for government employees with the, “Myers, Milius, Brown Act”, in 1968. Brown merely extended the actions of Reagan from local government employees to state government employees to make things fair–and it was the best thing either of them ever did!

One cannot become a public-sector union member if they are an illegal immigrant, but of course they could if they are a newly minted (legal) immigrant. The focus should be on raising up the standard of living for all workers, regardless of their skill level–however I don’t believe it is possible to be in a public-sector union for working as a housewife. (Your bigotry is showing!)

As far as kickbacks go–its called “endorsing”–perfectly legal.

Naturally all the corrupted corporations funnel funny money to the GOP’ers. But let’s not talk about that. 😉

Most of Obama’s funny money came from corporations, not unions.

It’s much easier and much more entertaining to point fingers at the other side. 🙂
