Isn't it funny that to get your salary through a union you had to use government to strip people of their rights, otherwise all that union could do constitutionally is talk and get jack ****. :p

You are going to find that this far right teaparty that has unabashedly exposed itself as the OF the rich FOR only the rich faction of the gop will DIE just like the far right nutjob Pelosi and company died....Americans do not like the far left or the far right....all the evidence that the teaparty is losing steam is right there in front of you...if you think there is enough support from the 20% super rich in this country for the teaparty far right to take out all the normal republicans...YOUR NUTS..

No, in other wrods, you are wrong. The fake democrats didn't come close to costing the "millions of dollars" you claimed. On the other hand, the democrats and unions have spent many millions of dollars - that you seem not at all concerned with.

If you feel that 500k is too much to spend to allow both sides to campaign in an election, then that's fine. I have a disagreement. I am not certain that the republican strategy was all that wise, but I think it's fair to give them the opportunity to campaign since they were stuck in madison (at the capital) the entire time leading up to the election.

IMO, $0.01 is too much to pay just to delay an election. The recalls are supported by the voters. The voters did not support the delay for a primary because the republicans were playing games with the electoral process. The results show this.

Even you admitted that the republicans only wanted to delay the election. Their only desire was to screw up the process, a policy the voters rejected.

The voters supported the delay. In order to run, the candidates had to get signatures of the voters who knew they were running just to delay the general. The results show nothing of the sort.

Even you have admitted that the purpose was not to actually elect any republicans under the dem banner, but to mess with and delay the elections.

I have worked all of my life since age 16 and am now 62. Those jerks DO NOT represent me and I do not want anybody thinking they do. If they speak for you - say so.

The prupose was to delay the election so that all candidates could campaign. There was no intention to elect the republicans.

The republicans did not fund raise and ran no ads. The voters supported this action, as evidenced by the collected signatures.

I have no problem with that. The money that was spent on this effort is dwarfed by the amount of money democrats have spent on their silliness over the past few months.

They already had time to campaign, just as the dems and the fake dems had time to campaign. The truth is the republicans are hoping the delay will cause the voters to forget how the republicans have messed up the state govt and economy

And once again, you show that "Its OK If You Are A Republican" by excusing the republicans spending money, but criticize the democrats for doing the same

They were at the capital working. They did not have the time to run a full campaign.

We have a difference of opinon on teh $500k. However, at least you now have the facts.

Allow me to fix your statement.

And once again, you show that "Its OK If You Are A democrat" by excusing the democrats spending of huge amounts of money, but criticize the republicans for doing the same at a much lower level.

Yes! Just like that Libyan War. Qaddaffi provides free education, healthcare, housing, etc. and we, the money mismanagement kings of governmental administration, want to fix that. Well, Loony Tune time is over and it is reality. Qaddaffi is good for Libyans and we are not. Do you see the light? Don't think so! Don't want to! Eh?

I don't think we should be fighting a war for french and chinese oil....


Quadaffi good? Really? :lamo

Why would you call the Tea Party "jerks"? All we want is smaller government, lower taxes, and more accountable representatives.... If that makes me a "jerk"... :shrug:

The democrats haven't made cutting spending a fetish like the teabaggers have done

the Teabagged are to interested in thier "team winning" that they are willing to spend the country into insolvency.
 
DaveFagan said:
I disagree. I think the teabaggers represent an unthinking group of dissatisfied Americans flailing about from ignorance. They don't realize that Republicans want to support the Military Industrial Complex and permanent wars to boost their own Corporate ownerships. True that the unions do create many parasitic slobs, the same as Corporate parasitic slobs. If you want to maintain the status quo of big business, you want permanent war. That is wrong, morally and against all that USA Americans profess to believe in.

You forgot to mention the union workers who support the MIC up in Seattle. Right between your eyes, buddy. ;)

Now we know the problem with democrats and unions. They have no problem spending millions of dollars of tax payer money on things like recounts they can't possibly win. It helps explain why Doyle(D) left the state nearly 4 billion in the hole and explains why Walker(R) came in and balanced the budget without having to raise taxes.

Wether it's good strategy or not, is open to debate, but $500k to buy time to allow a fair campaign pales in comparison to the spending demo have been responsible for and the $500k wouldn't have even been necessary if not for the dems spending multiple millions of tax payer dollars on the recalls in the first place.

Good strategy or not, it is a hypocritical policy.

Sure I do. You need government to make yourself effective, but using the government to force your way to effectiveness isn't constitutional.

Yes! Especially good for Libyans. We are bombing Libyans to get OIL and exploration rights for The Centralized Distribution Network for Energy. Spell that Exxon/Mobil, Chevron, BP, Shell, and see whose tankers move the OIL and who's tanks it is stored in and who's refinery it is processed at. We'll save those Libyans by killing the civilians so there are no more to be killed. That'll surelycure the killing. Also, Qaddaffi is interfering with the rape of African resources by the status quo of big business and we cant' have that, now can we?

As opposed to the more noble tactics of big labor?/ Gawd you're so dishonest it makes me want to vomit..

You're the kind of democrat (liberal) that is part of the problem in the nation, DD.

Qaddaffi is good for Libyans and I believe they would be his constituency. Not to worry, the NATO group will get rid of those unRepublican freebies fortwith.
