Dick Morris on Sean Hannity, 2/28/11:
We may at long last have a way to liberate our nation from the domination of those who should be our public servants but instead are frequently our union masters and free our politics from their financial power…What is at stake here really is freeing our schools so that we could keep good teachers and fire bad ones, freeing our state government so we don’t have high local taxes (and exactly how are those good teachers going to be paid?) and obliterating the financial power base of the Democratic Party.
The money quote is underlined above. This attack on collective bargaining is not about helping kids. It’s about establishing what amounts to a one-party system. Eliminate the power of unions and the G.O.P., with its corporate backing, gets to run things pretty much unopposed.
These people do not grasp the most basic principle of an open society – equal access to the political process as a voter and as a candidate.

Date: 2/3/11 01:56 (UTC)But not in the least concerned about the government deciding it could listen to anyone's phone calls it damn well pleased to with no reason at all, or the suspension of Habeas Corpus without a national emergency or insurrection, or the end of the Posse Comitatus Act. They don't give a damn about abuse of government power. They just give a damn about *Democrats* doing what they were quite fine with 2 years ago.

They're concerned with economics. Fucking hell, man, read what you're replying to.

Date: 2/3/11 02:00 (UTC)Yes, they're so concerned about it that they ban abortion and revive Sodomy Laws. Perfectly designed to reduce deficits, that is. I can just see how a government small enough to fit in the uterus and the bedroom will purge the country of things like 100 million dollar toilet seats.

Why Tea Party Congresspeople helped kill the F-35 engine (http://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/144349-tea-party-freshmen-on-spot-over-funding-for-jet-engine).
You have no clue what you're talking about right now. None whatsoever.

Yes, they killed the F-35 years after everyone else *but* them realized it was never going to be anything but a waste of funds. And as I remembered, the GOP was willing to shoot down the Democratic budget but promised their own sometime in the summer.
