Walker Wins

a) how political the cuts were in the first place (entirely unions, which usually vote blue, but exempting emergency workers who generally lean red). I think tax increases and spending cuts should at least make appearances of bipartisanship, with the entire populace bearing the burden, not just the other guys.

He only went after PUBLIC unions since he saw them as a major issue to the STATES budget. Fire and police were exempt only because it was the only way the bill would pass.

Even FDR tried to prevent public unions for the same reason Walker went after them.

You have proof of CHEATING there? I have seen lots of errors, but no evidence of cheating. Maybe you should send your data to the SC?

I must admit I don't have proof, but I know the Republicans have Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny at Gitmo.

So do governors. Go after unions and get ready to deal with a recall election.

And WIN by a bigger margin than the original election.

Yep. And spend weeks of effort - and a fair chunk of change - doing it. But hey, if there are governors out there with so much money they don't know what to do with it all, and plenty of spare time, it might not bother them.

You mean sorta like the Dems did in 2008? You mean like that?

Gotta have a lot of money to match the unions

And Walker barely did that

Another fact reported today

When Walker took office WI was a non-right to work state. So all 60,000 public sector employess had union dues taken from their checks .

Now, WI is a right to work state. You can pay union dues or not. Your choice

40,000 no longer pay dues

Very impressive in a year I think

Tells you something about how important forced union members feel it is to be in a union

You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.
