If you want to attack Liberals for individual cities being bad, then why dont you give them credit for Austin or other Blue cities that are considered better off ????
But then they'd have to acknowledge that partisan politics can't explain every single that ever happens.

Hooray for wages in America that have a hope of keeping jobs in the US instead of moving offshore and letting workers use their job performance to determine their pay instead of seniority or union politics.

Stop blaming Democrats/ The Left for Palin just not being a good governor.
"they were all true" You need to get new news sources. NOT ONE was true and she was exonerated, I know I used a big word, do you know what exonerated means?, from EVERY SINGLE ONE.

Gov. Walker supports the right of workers to collectively bargain, he correctly see a conflict with collective bargaining with most government employees.

Geography is not your strong suit, I see. Unless OFA has moved the state boundaries to protect Mr Obama, East St Louis is still in Illinois. Let me capitalize that, I L L I N O I S.

The corrupt, corporatists from both political parties in Alaska state government hated Palin, she broke up the corrupt good 'ol boy network in the state, you should at least credit her with doing that much.

2 words for you.. PUBLIC UNIONS! You are citing stats for PRIVATE UNIONS! Do you know the difference? EVERY single state's public workers are unionized.

Neither do I. However, the purpose of unions is collective bargaining and defense of members against violations of work rules and disciplinary processes.

The purpose of unions is not to overcharge their membership so they can become agents of corruption of the political process.

If advocates of labor interests want to form their own advocacy group, then they can do so and raise funding independent of their membership, same as the NRA or ACORN, or any other advocacy group. But union members should pay only for collective bargaining.

These Left leaners just plain out lie and they know they are doing it. I find it quite impossible to be this uneducated about something they say they are so passionate about.
