I don't see how I can't give a rep point to Sav, I hardly ever rep him. Not fair.

I could have, last year, partially agreed with you, but, I have over the past year gotten to know a few prison guards. What they have to say about their working conditions is interesting.

Interesting too for you conservative tea party republican types. 99% of prison guards share your political views, I find that darned humorous.
My Brother in Law is a Prison Guard. He started out in Corcoran and is now at DVI. He readily admits that guards pay and benefits are way out of line today. Although he has been guard since 1984 and thinks most of the guards today are a bunch of winy babies. He says there is a lot of needless waste and corruption but it has always been that way. He is a bit of a hard ass. Must be because he's a Conservative.

Arnold was the only politician willing to stand up to them and they actually tried to recall him because of it. It's pretty sad that people out there like you support such waste, fraud, and abuse because you're too wrapped up in your own ideological BS to see what a corrupt union this is.
Whining is so unbecoming...

My ideology? I must admit, my ideology does not admit prison guards lying to me while working cattle. I actually find them appallingly conservative, but, since they can throw a rope, I cut them some slack.

Back to ideology, I just went through the rule book for the Bullmoose party and I found no reference to prison guard unions at all.

Back to the swamp with ya, you betcha.

True, a total solar eclipse probably occurs more often than you giving me a rep, haha.

Sometimes I wonder if you really don't think the rest of the forum see's just how transparent you are. People see through your passive aggressive jabs and know what you're implying despite you playing dumb.

Apparently not, guess I've given so much to you that I have to give some more to others. Maybe I forgot??

What the heck do you mean by that oblique statement?

20 minutes later, I guess we got yet another unsupportable statement from a conservative base on what one would like to be true rather than reality.

Everyone knew brown was owned by the public unions yet they still voted for him. Maybe ca isnt as broke as they claim. The legislature, prison guards & teachers are the highest paid in the nation.

They probably deserve every minute of it. Think about what they go through every single day.
