You liberals continue to keep grasping at straws, but continue to fail.

You fear this spreading to other states. Most of all, you fear losing a strong key power/money factor for the Democratic Party. At least admit it, instead of trying to hide behind this bs that you care about "workers rights" or education and whatever else you claim.

I don't think that many of these partiers have any idea what has come out in Wisconsin about how the public employees unions have taken advantage of all the tax payers in the state. When the union members pay their dues from withheld money the non-union members find the same thing happening to them. Yes the taxpayers have been paying for those slobs' health insurance and pensions for years and are finally starting to find out about it all.

Teachers who are not union members have learned that the money withheld from their checks and paid to the unions. This is going to become widely known all over the nation and then guess what happens to those unions.

So teachers are now slobs? Many private companies pay for their employee's health care so what's the big deal? What's next on the republican's agenda? Oh, I bet I know. Medicare. You guy's are scrapping health care so once you bust the unions and defund health care it's on to Medicaid and Medicare. Why should poor people and seniors get health care? They contribute nothing to the corporate bottom line.

You, Roy are the master of links. Please provide a link to the fact that non union members are paying union dues.

Duh--wrong...
Jesse Berney: Top Six Revelations in the Call Between Fake David Koch and Governor Scott Walker

if you bother to read those points (and there are 6 in this but there could be more if someone wanted to go through the conversation again) and you are HONEST about what Walker is saying to someone he thinks is a a big contributor to his campaign and the Republican governors committee--you can see that
Walker is a liar of the first order--and someone who will cheat anyway he can get away with--

he has no qualms about manipulating someone who is a Wisconsin senator--a fellow member of the Legislature--and lying to him about his willingness to open negotiations about the budget proposal...then sandbagging the Democratic senators when they return to make a quorum for those negotiations by having the vote behind their backs--

Those of you who support Walker probably view that as "smart politics" but if the situation were reversed you would be screaming to high heaven and wanting whoever did it empeached...

He also makes no bones about doing this-- breaking the unions--deliberately for political agenda--vs doing it because the budget requires it---which has been his mantra when justifying such a scorched earth approach...

And the final point is that the faux Koch gives Walker a pat on the back and offers to treat him to a trip to Koch's home in Cali to celebrate Walker's victory when this is all over--which Walker sucks right up...
that is right after Walker confided his henchmen had been trying to find dirt on the Democratic senators for taking unions bribes--
so it is BAD for Democratic senators to do the bidding of unions and get bribes but it OK for Walker to take campaign money from Koch and receive a lux trip all expenses paid out to Koch's home as a prize for breaking the unions--

You can't have it both ways--corruption is corruption---cheating and lying are cheating and lying--no matter what side does them...
and if you think the unions and the Democrats are doing dirty things to win--
well--WAKE UP--so are Walker and the people supporting him--the Koch brothers and other oligarchs...

and can the conversation between Walker and faux Koch--regarding the "us" agenda and the promised trip to Koch's home as a reward for doing such a good job passing the budget and achieving what they wanted--
considering that Koch contributed 43K to Walker's campaign does that violate any FEDERAL campaign rules since it was not a national race?

The unions are using up $$$$$$$$$$ to fight against working people in WI. Who do you think pays for the public employees' salaries and benefits? Why, that would be the working people of WI. You know, the very same working people the unions are protesting to keep the ability to demand more and more from them.

Pay MORE taxes you working class slaves! The public employee unions DEMAND it!

Duplicate threads REALLY bug you don't they.

I'm the same way about people who smack their lips when they eat.
