aquapub said:And this is different from labor unions taking union dues from unwilling "members" (at taxpayer expense) and then giving all that money to Democrat candidates how?
The NEA is the most hysterical and ridiculous of the rabid Bush-bashing unions (they even ran commercials about that lame, debunked Bush-Saudi Michael Moore conspiracy theory in the 2004 election), and it is still absurdly listed as a non-partisan charity, so it gets full federal funding.
Not only are the mafia-like liberal unions a great example of how much more guilty of such conflicts of interests Democrats are than Republicans, but Democrats also broke new records in campaign finance violations in 2004 (once McCain-Feingold limited contributions and the small handful of millionaires who fund the "party of the working man" :roll: couldn't raise any money).
So please, spare us this hypocritical outrage.
BTW, thanks for doing me the favor of destroying your own credibility by putting that picture from Move On's asinine Hitler ad next to your name. It saves time for us adults.

His avatar is partisan, but did he present the story in a way that singled out either Democrats or Republicans for wrong doing in this? No.Stinger said:But your avitar speaks volumes

2) The "mafia like liberal unions" is one of the most hypocritical things I've ever heard. Mafia like? How about giving jobs to all your buddies no matter how unqualified they are for it, or setting up scapegoat after scapegoat for your shortcomings,
Cassapolis said:Well that's a good description of a union.
Which union did that?
Cassapolis said:Not a union there chief. It's this fascist administration that has highjacked our federal government.

That being said why did you assume that i posted this as pro democrat topic? Guilty conscience? And i use this picture of Bush simply because he's a Fascist. and FYI I'm not a democrat.

WAYNESVILLE, N.C. (AP) — Some in Pastor Chan Chandler's flock wish he had a little less zeal for the GOP.
Members of the small East Waynesville Baptist Church say Chandler led an effort to kick out congregants who didn't support President Bush. Nine members were voted out at a Monday church meeting in this mountain town, about 120 miles west of Charlotte.
"He's the kind of pastor who says do it my way or get out," said Selma Morris, the former church treasurer. "He's real negative all the time."
Chandler didn't return a message left by The Associated Press at his home Friday, and several calls to the church went unanswered. He told WLOS-TV in Asheville that the actions were not politically motivated.
The station also reported that 40 others in the 400-member congregation resigned in protest after Monday's vote.
During the presidential election last year, Chandler told the congregation that anyone who planned to vote for Democratic Sen. John Kerry should either leave the church or repent, said former member Lorene Sutton.
While this gives a very enlightening view of how you view party adherence as above integrity and honesty, we are not like you; we are able to criticize regardless of party affiliation.Navy Pride said:Its pretty obvious you were talking about Republicans being in your profile you call yourself a bleeding heart liberal.........

But thanks for making it clear what kind of integrity you see through your own eye, NP.
Navy Pride said:hips does that include African American churches that democrats constantly campaign in?
hipsterdufus said:Absolutely.
