I'm happy- this public union fiasco is a massive problem here in Colorado, and as yet we dont have the voter cojones to address this just now- but that day is coming.
Good luck on the Governor recall- will you be sending in some of your money for that? If so, then I'm even happier.
I thought the self labeled progressives were against out of state money attempting to influence and purchase access in local elections. I could have sworn that there were all sorts of complaints from that side of the aisle about all the out of state funding that was given to Buck's campaign for Senate in 2010.
Looks to me like the usual right-wing suspects on this board have been screaming about "union money", (while ignoring the millions funneled in by the Koch Brothers and the Rove-ian forces)... Spare me your righteous indignation. Last I heard, a private donation from a private citizen that is within the limits of maximum donation is still legal... (Or do the Righties want to try to find a way to limit that like they have with voting-rights with the "Voter-ID" laws?)
I chastise Bachmann for talking out of both sides of her mouth, haranguing against "evil federal programs that give away dollars" while sucking it up as fast as she can.
If you don't see the difference, it's because you don't want to.
