So, then, why don't you have some sympathy for union workers who get far less than he does from the taxpayers?

Actually, he went well beyond answering it.

I don't have a lot of sympathy for a guy who tries to make a point that his debt is higher than other people's, or that he's struggling to make ends meet for his family of 7 and 2 homes.

My earlier comment was a bit tongue in cheek (re fiscal discipline), but there was some truth to it, too. I don't know his situation, but maybe he shouldn't have bought that 2nd home if things were so tight.


I don't have an "issue" with him, except that I think he sounded like a fool.

He certainly isn't rich, at least not from his income.

All that said, I still don't think you'd consider his comment reasonable if he were a public union member or a Dem saying the same thing.

when it suits you (i.e. it's against the right) you're skeptical, yet when it's something that favors the right you don't doubt sources for a second.

When appearances are bad for Dems, appearance is what matters to you. When appearances are bad for a pubbie but the facts are OK, all you claim to care about are the facts.

I think his comments were twisted to fit a political agenda. If he were like Sen Carnahan who supports higher taxes and doesn't pay her taxes then there would be an issue.

how were they "twisted" and by whom?

His comments will not resonate well with the voters of Wisconsin, where the average salary is 52K per year...

No matter how you cut it, he sounds like a whiner...

Re-read my post Flex, you missed the point. I made a valid point, and all Darryl had to say was

"your silence in other threads is noted"

That is just a stupid, idiotic, short-sited, self-serving, dweeble of a thing to say. So I just made the point that if we choose NOT to comment upon a thread, it has exactly NO MEANING WHAT-SO-EVAH....get it now?

I am right and Darryl knows it!

Maybe this place fills some void in his life and the bottom-line is, no one cares.

WTF are you talking about.. btw your silence on the well thoughtout and unbiased threads by Woflboy are, how do we say... Unnoticed, your comments about political threads are exclusively reserved for the left.

I was wrong to include PF13 in my list above. After reviewing his threads, it's obvious he doesn't

"post threads with the only purpose being to shed light on the wrongs of the "other side"".

He takes a more conservative posture in his posts, but he doesn't start attack threads like some here.

My apologies to PF13.
