The unions are ANTI-democracy protesters.

I am a teacher and union representative. I work hard teaching kids about how they are victims of race, sex, economics - you name it. I teach them class-envy and how to question and doubt everything about America, especially the Constitution. Moreover, I must do this hard work 7 hours a day (except for lunch hour), 186 days a year, with 10 sick days. Who can handle such conditions?

I admit some of our Leftist ideas are so wacky, so out of the 19th Century, even these gullible kids don’t believe them. As you can imagine, turning bright kids into dull, Democrat adult voters is indeed a hard job. For the guaranteed pay and life-time pensions we receive, I sometimes doubt that it is worth it.

If they were Republicans protesting, they’d report it as “about a hundred people.”

Democrats — COWARDS

Notice how the lame stream is making such a big deal of this. So far it’s been a few thousand protesters, most of them on the take.

You don’t hear much about it when 100,000 people show up in DC to protest Roe v Wade on the anniversary of the decision.

Greece? Wisconsin? France? Wisconsin?
Any difference? Nope. This is just what socialist do.

The biggest question I have is, When, Who, Why was ANY government employee allowed to unionize?

The Tea Party’s massed to ask for smaller government, lower taxes, more personal responsibility.

These “teachers” massed to ask for larger government, higher taxes, less individual responsibility.

Whose side would you rather be on? :)

(The Press is actively for the teachers.)

“The Democratic National Committee’s Organizing for America arm — the remnant of the 2008 Obama campaign — is playing an active role in organizing protests against Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s attempt to strip most public employees of collective bargaining rights.”

2010 ELECTION RESULTS:

With 30% of precincts reporting, Johnson leads by 57%-42%, and has been projected as the winner by NBC News and Fox News.

http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2010/11/the-end-of-a-progressive-champion-russ-feingold-loses-to-ron-johnson.php

Approximately 100% of the votes have been reported for the 2010 Wisconsin elections, and the results for the Governor race and Senate race are now known. Both races were extremely tight up until all the votes were in.

For the Wisconsin Gubernatorial race, Republican Scott Walker has defeated Democrat Tom Barrett to become Governor of the state.

2010 Wisconsin Gubernatorial Election Results:

Walker won with 52% of the votes, over Barret who got 47%. Well over 2 million people voted in the state of Wisconsin this year.

For the Senate race, which was also extremely tight up until the end, Republican Ron Johnson defeated Incumbent Democrat Russ Feingold to take over his senate seat.

2010 Wisconsin Senate Election Results:

Johnson won with 52% of the vote, over Feingold who had 47%.

Both major office seats have changed political parties. They previously were held by Democrats but now will be occupied by Republicans.
