Actually, it says much more about you than anything else. Let's examine the chief sleaze tactics from Karl Rove and Rupert Murdoch.
For Rove, his coup de grace was the South Carolina primary in 2000 when he was Bush's campaign manager running against John McCain. He produced a "push-poll" where voters were asked: "Would you be less likely to vote for John McCain if you knew he fathered an illegitimate black child."
At the time McCain was campaigning with his 8 year old adopted Bangladeshi daughter who was dark complected. The McCains adopted this child because she was literally starving to death in an orphanage. So Your Hero Karl tries to win votes on the back of an 8 year old girl while sliming the McCains' truly humanitarian acts. Now is that right wing or left wing or is that just inhumane and sleazy?
Murdoch's flagship newspaper managed to hack into the cell phone voice mail of a young woman who had been abducted and killed. The search was still ongoing as it was not known if she was alive or dead. After her voice mailbox became full, the Sun reporters actually deleted voice mails so they could hear more messages left for her.
By deleting the voice mails, these sleaze balls gave false hope to her family that she was still alive and checking her own voice mail.
This is not right wing or left wing, these are two examples of the sleaziest type of rumor mongers and tabloid trash. This has nothing to do with right wing/left wing it has to do with morality and ethics. I don't know about you Carl, but if that was my daughter that had her voice mail hacked, that reporter would have his head caved in. Maybe you are more forgiving than I am.
It is only small minded people that have to try to pigeon hole every argument into some pre conceived framework like the current left wing right wing arguments. I guess that is where you are most comfortable.
I just want to make it clear, you are trying to compare a pilot making 70 hours a month at one pay rate versus a pilot making 92 hours a month at a lower pay rate. Somehow this makes sense to you, for me it is just more jibberish. By the way, the "stipend" as you call it is taxable, yet one more falsehood distributed by Carl, hey, why stop when you are on a roll.
