The problem is that at times, one side or the other sends someone who isn't as fully versed in the subject as they should be. And if conservatives don't send their best people to represent their side, then who is to blame. The blame goes in all directions when it comes to scheduling and not just at PR's doorstep. Thanks though for your point of view. "

" Conservatives don't like PR and the mainstream media because, contrary to your belief, they really don't give both sides of the issue. They also consistantly start from a premise with which we disagree. It's like starting a discussion with, "since we can all agree abortion is morally wrong...lets talk to both sides about the efforts to criminalize it." Since both sides got to comment, would you feel like that was a fair venue? That is what conservatives have complained about for years. Another scenario is they will bring out the least articulate for the conservative side or even someone who isn't really conservative. CNN used Bob Novak and Pat Buchanan for years to represent conservatives. Neither are truly conservatives. "

" Forget this plan. Let's continue the genius plan of Reaganomics and have 10% upper class, 90% lower class. This includes eliminating affordable education for the working class. Keep the poor people poor and stupid, and make the middle class poor. Then our country will go somewhere. Thank goodness we continue to elect Mike Huebsch to fight for these ideals- he knows how to protect us rich white folk. Keep the heathens dumb, and we will prosper. Thanks again Representative Huebsch for all you do to reform the UW system. "
