Quote from Maverick74:

as a liberal you defend bad behavior by pointing out other bad behavior?

Liberals, especially those in power, are masters at this.

.....Come on Ricter, have some morals, when you see you something wrong on the left...call it!!!!! .......

There isn't enough time in the day for Ricter to point out all the failings of the left and the Democrats. That entails just about everything they do or propose.

Yeah it's outrageous. Not quite as outrageous as this, but outrageous none the less.

Taxpayers are responsible for paying teachers' pensions.
Taxpayers are not responsible for CEOs' golden parachutes.

Quote from Maverick74:

Not me. If something is wrong on either side, I call it. I don't support bailouts or corporate welfare. I don't think CEO's should be making billions when their stocks tank and their companies go bankrupt.

This union deal is bullshit. The idea that someone could tap into a million dollar pension when the state of IL is broke and facing billions in pension shortfalls and all because they were a substitute teacher for one day? Come on Ricter, have some morals, when you see you something wrong on the left...call it!!!!!

The reason nothing improves is because people like you have no interest in calling stuff out in your own party. There are plenty of people here calling stuff out on the right who ARE on the right. Most of that through the support of people like Ron Paul. But where are your guys at Ricter? Why don't you want to fix your party? You're going to let this union shit slide? Come on...

The problem is you take the FOX News approach to "fair and balanced". In an hour of conversation you/they spend 5 minutes hand slapping the right, and then spend the next 55 minutes bitch slapping the left. MSNBC is the other side of the coin and just as biased. It's a disingenuous position at best.
If it weren't for a few guys here like Ricter and myself there wouldn't be any balance at all.

With all the bailouts one could easily argue that taxpayers are paying for golden parachutes and exec compensation in general over the past few years.

Solyndra is Obama's fault.
GM is UAW's fault.
Fannie & Freddie are the government's fault, especially Barney Frank.

You are a cowardly little pos, hiding behind ignore and relying on other people to carry your side of the argument.

Fair enough. So to answer your first question to me (today), it's because we tend to pick a side and do our offense/defense from there.

Not at all. I'm pretty consistent on here and fair. I never see you or Ricter call out the left. I agree, many of the resident ET liberals have long left ET, but I can't help the fact they can't trade their way out of a paper bag.

But look at it this way. If I was a pro union liberal and I saw this kind of shit going on, I would be outraged. Because it's giving unions a bad name and it's going to allow the other side to attack a position I believe in. I would want the unions to cut that shit out so as not to give easy bait to the other side to attack. It's in fact in your best interest Ricter to call out this behavior, yet you don't. That's what I don't understand. If I actually was "pro-union", this article would infuriate me.
