Examples: either of the union-oids on the show.
Todays unions have one purpose: to extort as much money as possible from members(?) in order to advance the liberal socialist goals of a few powermongers (union bosses).
Also, I seldom watch the show as the views seems quite leftist. I applaud Mr. Mitchell for adroitly and logically countering the emotion based arguments cast his way. 3-1/2 liberals against one conservative is not fair...... you needed AT LEAST 2 MORE LIBERALS just to give them a chance!
p.s. Thanks for the opportunity to express my thoughts.

Greg, Thanks for the handle on the labor grab. Representative Rosemary Marshall's comments, though polished & practiced, reminded me of a plate of manure being served as caviar, neither very useful for Colorado public policy. Representative Sean Mitchell seemed unduly concerned. Let's hope his fears have no seed into fact. Union Boss Mike Serbo (sp) will benefit from this "stake in the sand" handle for Unions to cling to as they continue to fade into irrelevance through self serving and corruption rarely in communities' best interests. Unions never get it. WAKE UP! Governor Ritter has been a hero for making the tough choices up until this trip and fall. Where were the advisors and who were "pandering cronies" that tried to slip this patronage bone under Colorado's nose? Dr. Kaplan's provision for contraception and allusion to the STD epidemic among adolescents points to the need for extended medical options in schools for PARENTS AND GRANDPARENT GUARDIANS to best care for our precious inexperienced young ones. Please keep it real for us Greg. Thx
