Yeah, that's what I was wondering too. It's no surprise the Republicans and their big business backers don't want a pro-union guy like Becker.It always is, isn't it.

Whats the beef with Berwick anyhow? In the article the focus is mostly on Becker.
Wait, wait! Wasn't Ireland's case pretty much the opposite of the other three? Their problem was PRIVATE debt and not public debt if I recall correctly. Even on the public side, they are different in that they had too few taxes instead of too much spending, or so they've been told now.What is going to cause the collapse of the economy is not learning the lessons of Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Spain. What is going to cause the collapse of the economy is umpteen trillion dollars in acknowledged debt, and more undeclared. What is going to cause the collapse of the economy is the demotivation of American potential by infinitely extending safety nets until they become permanent hammocks while refusing to address universally acknowledged educational problems by any method other than pushing EVEN MORE money into the same leaky, corrupt bureaucracy - and ignoring the fact that we don't have the money to pay for it because it is a warm fuzzy thing.
Most of these links are painfully stupid, but this one takes the cake. Way to blame the messenger. When someone says "I probably wouldn't pass a background check", the people selling the weapon is breaking the law. Being a 2nd amendment supporter is more than just loving guns. It's being responsible with firearms. Any logical, thinking person understands the difference.GasBandit said:In NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's quest to tighten our national gun laws, he has sent undercover officers to investigate gun shows ... in Arizona.
Mayor Bloomberg doesn't have federal jurisdiction, much less jurisdiction in Arizona. If he wants to figure out how guns are getting into the hands of criminals maybe he should start with the streets of New York. I somehow doubt the criminals there are taking a road trip to Arizona.Most of these links are painfully stupid, but this one takes the cake. Way to blame the messenger.

Anyone who supports the 2nd amendment should be in support of preventing these types of weapons getting in the hands of criminals through gun shows and back door dealers. Whining that Bloomberg wants to do something about the loopholes the laws that allow criminals to get easy access to weapons is mind numbingly dumb and undermines the position of gun advocates.
No, the guys that THEY are getting their guns from are making the road trip. It's a pretty poorly kept secret that just about any gun on the street that wasn't stolen or bought from somebody who stole it to begin with is from a gun show vendor. It makes it harder to trace the origin of the gun when the original owner or prosecute an illegal sale when the guy is 5-6 states away.Mayor Bloomberg doesn't have federal jurisdiction, much less jurisdiction in Arizona.

This one is interesting (and not surprising) to me, in that last june I spent just under 3 weeks in Egypt on a tour, and thus got at least SOMEWHAT of a feel for the country as a whole.What do Egyptians want? For one thing, they want more Islam in politics.
Ugh, not commenting on a Red State post.You can read all about the feuds in this RedState post, but even the DNC has realized that the fact is that when you want something done efficiently and effectively, you do not go to unions to get the job done.
Well, if they do, it is their country. Funny that. I bet America loves it when other countries stick their noses in our business. Oh wait, we don't.What do Egyptians want? For one thing, they want more Islam in politics.
The social security thing.... many Republicans, including Paul Ryan (who gave the response to the SotU address) have put forth plans which involve privatizing social security or putting a portion of the money into the stock market. Does that count as proposing 'cutting' Social Security?The Democrats are at it again ... the Republicans want to "slash" Social Security. Truth? Nobody is proposing that. Nobody.
The pressure on Supreme Court Justices has already begun when it comes to an eventual vote on ObamaCare.
I'll wait for it to hit Politifact.Let's take a look at Harry Reid's imaginary $4 billion credit to ObamaCare.
Well whatdya know, something we can agree on.Democrats in Congress are upset by the new Republican chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and his attempt to investigate President Obama's promises to improve government transparency.
This one is just stupid. White House correspondents are the whiniest bunch of namsy pamsy wanna be reporters. Go out and find some news, you wastes of time.White House correspondents are complaining that they are being shut out of the White House.
FTA- "For instance, Diaz said domestic violence victims may hold back from reporting those crimes to police for fear their loved ones will be deported or they will be, too." Classy!New Mexico is no longer a sanctuary state, as new Governor Susana Martinez says officers will be able to ask anyone they suspect of a crime about their immigration status.
Where does it say more government? You obviously don't know any farmers.Notice that a liberal's solution to our unhealthy lifestyle is more government.
(I don't want to be misconstrued. I'm face-palming the actions of the Rep, not the article itself)Florida freshman Rep. David Rivera has had a rough first month in office.
Denied for now. But probably not for long.
The porn was actually titled "Who's Nailin Paylin?" , so your joke falls flat.She just wants the proceeds from "Nailin Palin".
They can anyway. McDonalds is a trademark and they can be talked about all they want. It just means that I can't sell anything unauthorized with her name on it.The porn was actually titled "Who's Nailin Paylin?" , so your joke falls flat.
She just doesn't want the late night shows to make fun of her if she runs for president.
Perv. Figures you'd know what it was called.The porn was actually titled "Who's Nailin Paylin?" , so your joke falls flat.

Well, we can't have THAT.A very reasonable round of links for the most part.
That's one of the foulest things I've ever read about involving unions.Those "Shame on" banners you see around the country? A union intimidation tactic. Here's how it works. Don't you just love unions?
That is pretty weird.. Be aware, though, that this isn't typical of all unions, just like all Iraq contractors didn't shock U.S. troops with faulty wiring in showers.That's one of the foulest things I've ever read about involving unions.
Krisken, I live in NJ, you're going to have a tough time convincing me what constitutes atypical vs typical union behavior.That is pretty weird.. Be aware, though, that this isn't typical of all unions, just like all Iraq contractors didn't shock U.S. troops with faulty wiring in showers.
The United States should follow the example of Japan and China and build high-speed rail, Biden said. "If we do not, you tell me how America is going to be able to lead the world in the 21st century," he said.
Didn't Code Pink recently talk about lynching Clarence Thomas and dueling Glenn Beck with a Glock? Surely there must be a massive uproar over that as well.An Alabama legislator uses the phrase "empty the clip" and Democrats go nuts .. he's using violent terms!
No, two random people at a rally said it after being prompted by a guy with a camera who kept saying things like "...and after they impeach him, then what? Okay, and then what? And then what?" I think it's a disgusting thing to say, but I don't think it's fair to paint the whole group with the same brush. It's the same reason it's not okay to call the whole Tea Party racist because some rednecks show up to their rally.Didn't Code Pink recently talk about lynching Clarence Thomas and dueling Glenn Beck with a Glock?
