Once a person becomes a politician he is no longer who he was. It is like joining a gang you are in it for better or worse, your priorities change. On one hand politician need to convince the voters to get elected to a position so he gains stature amongst his colleges, on the other hand he need to keep the promises he made to the organization or the corporation that hired him for a specific task. There is no going back on that promise, just like in a gang. If gang member loses a part of his turf he is a history. The promises made to the voters are not necessary to keep, just keep on making bigger and better promises so you get elected to a higher position.
Mrs. Clinton lost to Mr. Obama; do you think that the president Obama appointed her to a position of the secretary of state because she promised to have a plastic surgery? Think again my friend, remember Chelsea’s wedding; they are all in bed with each other.
Maybe somebody else can name the rest of them. I got the boss.

I’m feeling free under the FOIA this morning to relay some information about the subjects you touched on. I’m willing to wager that most if not all of the graffiti, threats and vandalism was done by imposters and undercover operatives. Collective bargaining and union organizing produced the American middle class, that fact is not being discussed at all; maybe you Mr. Middleton could give it a try.
What are the possibilities for on average family to accesses food, fertile land and a living wage; is another subject not being discussed, let’s not even mention energy. You could possibly discuss it in your new book “in this life.” You could give us a chronology of rules and regulations passed by our learned and esteemed legislators since; let’s say the turn of the eighteenth century, or maybe from the start of the industrial era.
Finely, we come to education, in your new book “in this life” don’t try to sell us indoctrination and training for education. Education is the most misunderstood word in the American Dictionary. Training is not same as educating, I’m sure that you are aware of that, so please talk about it, don’t be shy.
From where I sit right know I can see Socialism showing its ugly head. One political party is pulling to the right the other to the left; I’m going out on a limb here and making a production, if the Republicans, the Tea party and the Libertarians screw it up this time, we will not see freedom until pigs grow wings.
On the foreign policy, we are Americans and we stand with the righteous, put that in your book my fried.
Something on the lighter side: If is not greasy, salty or sweet it is not American. Hotdogs, burgers, french-fries, potato chips, ice cream, Twinkies, etc. are of limits.

Let’s not forget that the public employ’s collective bargaining contracts were negotiated by politicians that we all elected. The very same politicians that negotiated approved and passed it in the house and the senate got elected with union support. The governor is the one that signed the bill. We are looking in a wrong direction. Last I looked buying votes was illegal. Those very same politicians approved outsourcing of manufacturing in order to break the private sector unions, to appease the corporate supporters. Now we are not working our properties are being foreclosed on, so there is less tax money being collected so the state coffers are empty. Only time people fight over financing is when the money is short. What we need to do is find out where is the missing money, who is hording it, I bet half is misappropriated and the other half is in the hands of the speculators. We seem to like China so much; maybe we can send the unemployed to a work farm like the communist do. Wright now we don’t need that many teachers anyway; between home schooling, charter schools and the internet only the less fortunate are going to public schools.
It is very wrong to blame the unions and the collective bargaining. Without it there is no living wage. How on earth do you suppose that a family can prosper, educate the children and support the community on a minimum wage?
Poverty is passed on from generation to generation, the same as wealth. Chances are that a poor family will stay poor for generations, so please stop bickering amongst each other. Remember Aesop’s Fables. We hired a fox to divide the cheese between us. Now we are complaining that the other person got more than us. The fox will surely take a piece away from the other guy; the problem is that the fox will keep it for himself.

Hi Glenn, on the program today, 3.23.2011 you suggested that the banks contributed actually caused the financial meltdown by lending money to people who couldn’t possible repay it. In addition to that you were saying that Unions are somehow responsible for our country to be broke.
If I may be so bold and challenge your handler’s assertion that the downturn was caused by the disadvantaged citizens and the “overpaid” union members.
I am telling you this with some certainty; the downturn was caused by the leaders of our industries and our political leaders. The conspiracy you are suggesting is wrong it is actually the other way. The pillars of our business communities conspired with politicians to bust the unions.
I’m not expecting to change your mind; after all you are given your daily talking points just like the rest of the shack jocks. Only thing you need to do is look at the “made in” labels around you.
Keep in touch

This is an interesting question you are asking. Only very few people are poor by choice, most others are disenfranchised, indigent or enslaved by neediness a habit or illness and misfortune. Rich folks don’t like to share the wealth, they know how to hold on to it and accumulate more, and most of them are politicians. Politicians write regulations that are beneficial to themselves first, they don’t care how many people are   marginalized and disenfranchised, I have never heard of a poor politician.

Look at us; trying to marginalize the teachers, “their pay and the benefits, who do they think they are with that hefty pension!”

 Many people are convicted that collective bargaining is wrong, but if we look at it closer it is only wrong because racketeers and politicians are invaded in the process. Republicans like to get rid of the department of education and that all that is and they don’t care who gets hurt in the process. If a worker doesn’t have job security he doesn’t have a living wage, he is poor. Poor people have difficulty educating themselves and their family so poverty is being passed on from generation to generation just like wealth. There is this old adage; if you give a fish to a man, you will feed him for a day; if you teach him how to fish you’ll feed him for life. Well I have my own saying, I already know how to fish, now I am looking for the access to the fishing pond and that one I’m willing to fight for. Please don’t give me charity, just get out of my way.      

This is my answer and I’m sticking to it!

Mr. Campbell, I am not trying to indorse collective bargeman for the government employees, I believe it like you that it is a conflict of interest; after all it is our money. What I was pointing out is that our passions are being taken advantage of. The problem that I see is that the politician are wheeling and dealing behind closed doors. I wouldn’t like to live in 100% union country like communism anymore then a 100% non-union country like some type of a dictatorship. Ours is an all-inclusive Nation.

The struggle started long time ago with the British. In the beginning of the industrial era, the Brits needed labor in the factories so the lords simply chased the people of the land, they didn’t need them anymore they head equipment on the farms. The labor movement started with the Paupers, that what the Brits called the marginalized unemployed wandering the country side. Most of them ended up in the cities and found work in the new textile industry, working for a “pint and a crust.” The children slept in the beds that never cooled, they took turns one slept and the others worked. We cannot under any circumstances try to prevent collective bargaining on any level; we need to support it with all we have.       

The relationship between the politicians the labor leaders and the leaders of our industry are largely unchecked, if left unchecked the best of us tends to stray. Here we are now talking about and taking sides on the talking points that we have been given.

Our politicians are fighting over money like an old couple. “Yes we can say that the money is short because you are spending too much and we can also say that I am not making enough,” which is right? Probably both of us are right.

Article one; section eight of our Constitution gives the Congress all the powers to regulate, amongst other things; …To regulate commerce with foreign Nations…  Nowhere does it say to whose favor. We need to demand Patriotism of our elected officials, during campaigning they leave us with the impression that they are in it for us, we have no way to hold them to that.

 The Contract with Americans needs to be legally binding. Maybe we can present them with the transcript of the campaign promises they made to sign before the swearing in ceremony. And yes, we all could put in few hours of owe time.

New talking point: How can we make more and spend less.

Collective-bargaining idea didn’t come about out of someone’s boredom. Organizing was a reaction to abuse and inhuman working conditions and child labor. I’m sure that this learned forum is aware of.        The very politicians that are complaining about the lack of money in the state coffers are the ones that helped in the outsourcing of private industry. The state and the federal agencies absorbed the labor to keep the unemployment down that bloated the state payroll to the point of bursting. The essential services like Schools, Law enforcement and Fire prevention is an obvious target so our esteem leadership decided to create an outrage and pick on the teachers, they could have just as easy picked on the dep. of transportation or some other state service but to that nobody would pay attention to. I’m opposing collective bargaining of state and the federal employees but only because of the corruption of our leadership. The politicians are negotiating the union contracts, promising benefits and then passing legislation to support the very contract that they negotiated, if that is not buying votes I don’t know what is.

From the labor point view, we need to get paid. In a communism having a job is a mandate and an obligation; I don’t think any of us in this forum wants that. Going from one extreme of a “card check” to the other extreme of passing a right to work laws is creating an unnecessary friction and division in our society. Having a juvenile conversation and calling each other derogatory name is not forwarding the discussion either. It comes down to, that we will no longer work for “a pint and a crust.” Just what kind of benefits would you like to give us?

 People please what you are planning on telling to the senators and the congressmen that worked hard on those programs and made deals to bring federal money to their districts. How would you feel if someone repealed your pet project? You do not actually believe that our elected officials gave up their votes for nothing. You know all the projects that we submit to prospective candidates when we agree to support them. Before a bill is presented to the Speaker, the senators and the congressmen make deals; if you need my vote include my project. I will not be happy with my representative if our project isn’t pined to the next bill. How about all the unemployed relatives and relatives of supporters, unemployment would jump at least 5%. We should not be going around and repealing stuff before we consider all the consequences.
