Libtards? I assume you don't mean all of us.
There are less well-off urban citizens who are all in favor of lots of government handouts, but even they aren't really full-fledged libtards, in the sense you probably mean. I bet a fair number of WV Dem voters are of this sort - in favor of government largesse, but not really social lefties.
We have a few actual libtards, but probably not all that many.
Most of the more prosperous citizens of Houston are downright conservatives. They get outvoted by the urban poor, alas.
But, more to the point, those national politics have almost nothing to do with this very local and personal dispute over fireman pay. That is a very local, small politics dispute between City Hall, the firemen, and (to some degree) the police. Left and right doesn't have hardly anything to do with it. Thanks for dragging national politics into everything.
