Great. Taking your rule to its logical conclusion, I look forward to the day when teacher's unions no longer make campaign contributions to local school board members, too.
This notion that we can somehow wall off representatives from their constituents is laughable. And Labor Unions and Teacher's Unions and the NRA are also their constituents.
Those inefficiencies can be almost impossible to remove, because the Union will want something back from management in exchange for what they view as a concession.
What I wonder is why the proponents of public transit never mention the disruptive effect of strikes by unionized transit workers when they are extolling the benefits of public transit.
"Gentlemen don't read other gentlemen's mail." That's what Henry L. Stimson said in 1929 when he shut down the State Department's code breaking operations. Stimson was President Hoover's Secretary of State at the time.
But, you said "my party right or wrong". These are people who came out and defeated incumbent senators and representatives, because they thought that the beltway barnacles had betrayed the party's ideals. Have we seen that happen on the D side of the aisle?
Perhaps you haven't noticed that Tea Party insurgents have defeated incumbents in primary elections several times recently. See Richard Lugar from Indiana, for example.
Not only two trucks, but members of the truck driver's union could not unload stock from the trucks, so there needed to be an additional person, from yet another union, to unload each truck.
Obama did sign the bill in 2011, didn't he? You make it sound like all of this stuff just happened around him and he has nothing whatever to do with it.
Harry Truman had a sign on his desk in the Oval Office that read "The Buck Stops Here." Neither Obama, nor his acolytes, believe that he is responsible for anything that they do not like.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!
Don't forget the dude that was helping Saddam build his "super gun." Also, one of the targets of the first RAF raid on Peenemunde (the German rocket development facility) were the scientists working there.
Without the workers, the factory is useless. You don't actually have to kill the workers, however. You can simply destroy enough infrastructure around the factory to make it difficult for enough workers to show up for their next shift, and production is halted. This is the theory behind the RAF's Area Bombing program in WWII.
It won't be done publicly. You haven't been paying attention. The lawmakers (or their surrogates, the regulators) will get to write the regulations that determine just what is a "legitimate news organization" and is therefore eligible for the subsidy. If you publish too many stories that embarrass the powers that be, the regulations will be tweaked and you will lose your funding. The same issue exists with public financing of elections (aka welfare for politicians) as those in power write the regulations that determine who gets access to public money.
The Kyoto protocol was adopted by Parties to the UNFCCC in December 1997. Clinton was President. Gore was his Vice-President. They did not bring the treaty before the US Senate for ratification. Treaties have to be ratified by the US Senate. The US Senate unanimously passed the Byrd-Hagel Resolution in July 1997 that stated that the Senate would not pass a treaty that did not require developing countries to make emissions reductions (among other things). Clinton never submitted the Kyoto Treaty to the US Senate because he knew it would not pass. But don't let your hate for Bush interfere with the facts.
The easy solution is to trade in and get a new car every couple of years. Nobody expects their vintage 1950s Chevy to have all the modern bells and whistles. When you buy an old car, you revel in the nostalgia.
In the Ford vehicles, the touch screen is combined with voice recognition, so you don't have to take your hands off the wheel to adjust the interior temperature or call your mom or tell the car to play some Mozart. I use the touch screen when the car is not moving, but I use voice commands when I am driving. It seems to work pretty well.

Campaign contributions are not a bribe. People, and groups of people, show support politicians by making contributions to their election campaigns.
How else would you fund political campaigns? Public Financing, aka welfare for politicians??

The US Federal income tax was also promoted as being "a tax on the idle rich."
Man's first trip to the moon, we just orbited it and came back. You need to be able to do that right before you can think about landing.

No. The flashing hex value would be "DEAD"
