It's about time the Wisconsin republican legislature got a chance to feel a little of the wrath of the working folks. Vote 'em all out, Wisconsin! We're with you all the way!

Yep, illustrates the idiot unions in Wisconsin. They deserved everything they got.

The unions don't represent the working class, which are the taxpayers that fund the lavish benefits and pensions of the greedy union.

They are only interested in retaining power - they've LOST everything in WI.

You think this makes them look good?

The VOTERS have shown the amount of disdain they hold for the Left/union behavior.

Courses of action like these will have political consequences opposite to those intended.

Regular people will see this for exactly what it is, petty and juvenile.

That is called psychology 101.

I thought Labor Day was to celebrate all working men and women--not just labor unions.

Call it petty, call it what you want, but the fact of the matter is all politics are local and Wassau is obviously an extremely pro-union town.

Seems fitting. I never get labor day off anyway, my work is too important to take random pointless like days off.
