Obama, Democrats Bought and Paid For

After all the platitudes and patronizing about the mean-spirited dialogue of the Tea Party, why would the White House pass up an opportunity for some fair balance?

One can only imagine the drooling, apoplectic barking from the likes of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other liberal pit bulls had Michelle Bachman or Sarah Palin squeezed of a couple of rounds like the ones Jimmy Jr. got off yesterday.

As always, follow the money. Organized labor gives hundreds of millions of dollars to the Democrats and the union organizer in chief is one of the biggest beneficiaries of union largesse.

Here it seems the dependent bureaucrat class has something in common with the producer class. Don’t embarrass the guy who signs your checks. No matter what. It seems you can even make the President look profoundly foolish and still go unchecked for a price.

Of course conservative politicians depend on campaign donors as well and the donations shape their behavior. Conservatives tend to get donations from businesses trying to avoid being ground under the boot of reckless bureaucratic rule makers who rule by fiat though regulations driven by special interests . . . like unions.

The only way to get the money out of politics is to get the government out of business.
