Mike Klonsky's SmallTalk Blog: Tweeting with Dave this morning

Tweeting with Dave this morning

I'm followed on Twitter by Dave. He claims to be an independent and has been critical of Republicans and praiseful of Pres. Obama. But when it comes to the subject of teachers and their unions, Dave sounds like a T-bagger to me. This morning's Twitter debate began with Dave commenting on the Illinois senate's passage yesterday of a bill that curtails teacher union rights. Here's the back-and-forth:
D: it is not about money it is about breaking unions who give support ro democrats in elections. Break them break democrat bank.
M. Ur right Dave. But in IL, the teacher unions all signed on to the bill and Dems, not GOP, engineered it.
D: perhaps a case of better of two evils. If they do not then GOP will write one and do more damage.
M. Problem is, union prez called it a model for the whole country, not lesser of evils. Dems in control in state house. No Wisc.
D: hmm maybe unions are out of control then. Jobs going to mexico and all. Need to create jobs
