C’mon. Spending money to exert pressure on Govt to get your way necessarily involves tax money trickling and being magnetically attracted to that original money.
That’s what government is for for these people. Privatizing the government is just another way to suck the blood out of the working class, if that’s what you’re angling at.
Look at the Oregon idiots for a micro example for chrissakes. Welfare queens every one.
He didn’t pick a Republican. Sandoval was only one among several being vetted. His name was “leaked”.
He was answering “how do Republicans save face if that happens?”.
OK, missed that.
With Sandoval dropping out, I predict the next attack on Obama will be: was he the only Republican being vetted? Why was Obama only considering one Republican as a nominee… who would then not be allowed to be considered in the Senate. Geez, that Obama guy is so partisan!
Yeah, he seems a little distracted right now, but that hasn’t stopped him from weighing in: Cruz, Rubio: Next president should name Scalia replacement
We won’t get one until the DNC/Obama find someone willing to take the heat of being an Obama nominee.
Bernie and Trump are both considered outsiders, as in not your usual SSDD politicians, and they have both developed quite a following with little party support.
Hairy Reed’s practical joke about Sandoval made the Democrat collective look silly.
Republicans refused to consider a potential Republican appointee and Democrats are the ones looking silly?
What color is the sky on your planet?
And apparently asking GOP Senators about it is what it takes to get them to run away from a mic.
That seems like a very useful technique, in the right hands. 
D’oh, you got me to give Salon a page-view. :smack: I will need to watch for those in the future, especially when it’s a lefty linking. Maybe it doesn’t count if you close the tab within milliseconds?
I’m going to open them twice, once for me and once for you.
Sigh.
Do not fight Salon. Salon is your friend. Salon loves you . . . it wants you . . . it wants your essence . . .
They’re currently refusing to consider any OBAMA nominee. Obama hasn’t nominated anyone. Hairy Reed punked the media outlets and the Democrat collective thought Obama’s suggesting Sandoval was a great idea. Except Obama didn’t suggest Sandoval, Reid did. Hahahaha, that Harry Reid is such a comedian. 
Aren’t they actually the only left wing outlet against fluoridation?
The “Democrat collective” didn’t think that. There’s apparently a split on whether they should go moderate or liberal.
