Is that the best you got? Ron Paul is a complete flake with the sole exception of his monetary policies, Romney could not even beat the loser McLame and is the biggest RINO in the race and Gingrich while he can fire off a few sound bites that inspire the red meat lovers, has more baggage than Imelda Marcos. As I stated before GIVEN THE CHOICES WE HAVE, Santorum is the only logical candidate to support the ticket,,,and by the way anyone fantasizing about a debate with Oblama give it up,,,he will not engage in a debate.

I would have preferred Rubio, Ryan, or West,,,,but considering the field we have to work with Santorum is the best.

SANTORUM is the ONLY one who is a conservative in this race. Romney is polluted by his Romney/care, Gingrich is polluted by his baggage and character,,,,and Paul is just plain nuts. Rick is blue-collar, midwest stock, family values, well spoken clear visioned and carries far less baggage than his rivals.

The unions like congress are EXEMPT from their own rules. Heck, they pay non-union people to picket for them. They even pay below minimum wage.

NJ Education assoc Union boss gets $550,000 salary

Sounds like a great opportunity for some investigative journalism ala Hannah Giles.

This situation exists in many staes with the public employess (teachers, fire fighters, police,,,and even 'care givers') wherein as the state or municipality issues pay checks to the employees, their union dues are already deducted and forwarded to the unions BEFOREt the wage earner gets their check. This was the best thing that happened in Wisconsin. They are giving the employees the whole check and letting the rank and file pay the unions themselves. This has caused a SHARP drop off in the collection of the dues as once people have it in their hands,,,they are a bit more reluctant to give it to the unions,,,before and still in many places the workers do not have this choice.
In Illinois and Mishigan and a couple other states the unions have also convinced the legislators that "Care-Givers" need union representation. In this case people who get assistance checks from the state to assist and provide care for children or adult family members with a disability, the state siphons off that AID money to give a piece of it to the unions BEFORE the family gets what is left.

Dispicable

It was JFK's Executive Order that allowed the public employees to unionize. I want to know when or IF the congress ever codified it into law.

The basic, obvious and inherent conflict of interest wherein the unions are able to elect (control) their counterpart in negotiations is what is killing us. Thank god people are finally waking up and if nothing else requiring that the unions collect those due themselves rather than having the government do it for them, will at least give the rank and file a chance to make the real decision to support the union by writing the check themselves. Already we are seeing the answer in place like Wisconsin where the union dues collections are falling off a cliff.

Starve the beast!!!

OFF TOPIC: the other day there was a thread about a perverted Califonia Teacher who was abusing no less than 23 students, even blindfolding them and making them drink semen. Just announced,,,he resigned and is going to be able to keep ALL HIS BENEFITS.

END PUBLIC EMPLOYEE UNIONS AND ESPECIALLY THE TEACHERS UNIONS

Let's have a brand new "occupy movement", let's set the occupy date for the third week in January next year,,,,we will call it "OCCUPY 1600"
