Keep throwing the crap against the wall. Maybe something might stick.

He's a sleaze, though I generally agree with his views on public unions, if not his tactics. He has successfully concealed the history behind his leaving Marquette University just a few semester hours short of a degree, though it seems to have involved shady political operations while running for student government. Imagine that.

It sticks fine, just the GOP likes crap on their guys it seems! Makes them look important. The more crap the more they are loved. Face it the GOP likes Horses A$$'s. The bigger the better. Relish the uneducated inexperienced skilled and look down on the educated or experianced.

I don't get the beef with public unions. Union leaders are just doing their job. Getting the best deal they can for their dues paying members. If they're demanding too much money, all the politicians have to say is "no." But the politicians won't, because they're afraid if the garbage doesn't get picked up this week they may lose 15 or 20 votes in the election in 3 years...so they just shrug and say..."OK, deal."

But...but...but...what's a mayor to do? How's about get a job where you don't have an excuse for leaving your balls in your other pants every time there's a difficult decision to be made that may cost you some votes.

Besides...the states aren't broke because of pensions and public unions. The states are broke because the politicians have decided to give every corporation in the country 10 years of no state income tax to either stay in that state, or move to that state, so that the vote whoring politician can say to the lazy-ass gullible electorate, "...look at me, I created jobs...", which is all that matters in this country these days.

In a nutshell, public employee unions have a symbiotic relationship with Democratic politicians. Union employees work to elect Democrats who shower (mostly deferred) benefits upon them, thus bankrupting the system when the bill comes due.

Even FDR was against public sector unions for their ability to their unnatural unnaturally influence the political process, not to mention the expense to the taxpayer.

Fine, so let's say this it what it's all about. Union bosses and Democrat politicians buttfucking each other. The fact remains that union reps are doing what they're supposed to be doing...getting the best deal they can. If the Democrat politicians are bending over backwards for their votes and agreeing to bad deals for the state economy...that's the goddamn politician's problem. All they have to do is say no.

Even FDR? Even lots of famous people don't like public unions. That's no reason to leave the public worker without the right to collective bargaining. That's no reason to leave the public worker and his/her family's well being in the hands of those who's only goal is maintaining their office ...Democrat or Republican. They're no less greedy and power hungry than T. Boone Pickens or Willard Romney.

Nope. Public employees should have the same rights as anybody else to collective bargaining. If public unions unnaturally influence the political process it's on the vote whoring politicians, not on the workers.
