Some of us were pretty quick to rush to judgment about events in Tuscon recently. I'm not going there. All I'm suggesting is that I doubt the Tea Party is responsible. You have no idea what I want to believe...

...though I'd love to see a picture of Howard Dean running through the parking lot with a can of spray paint.

Wow, that is clear proof that Republicans are right and Democrats are wrong.

Whell, we had that kind of incident here a couple years ago, vile graffitti, slashed tires...

But it's OK because it's union

No but I can draw reasonable conclusions from the context in which you posted the link as well as your comments regarding the link. It's just like proving intent. No one is going to tell a discharged employee that he or she has been fired as a result of discriminatory intent, but it can be reasonably inferred from the circumstances. One does not have to be a mind reader to understand another's position.

Regards,

Absolutely! And I commend you for staying on point. It would have been very easy to drag a discussion about Unions off topic by pointing out some peripheral action by one person. Very hard to resist that temptation, too, since the Republican position on this issue is particularly indefensible. But you took the high road.

The government unions here retire VERY early, and get hired back into the same job the next day. It's called double dipping.

Meanwhile, the roads are falling apart.

Uh, right. Kinda like trying to compare Republicans using the Filibuster in Washington to Democrats in WI refusing to show up for work.
