But it is apparent where your heart is...in a place where Republicans always fail.
Err, no. I do not run around bemoaning all Republicans as failures. I do not whine and cry when they don't do everything I/we want, I understand there are political realities and there is a big difference between being a keyboard commando and actually having to get things done. Politics is most certainly the art of the possible. Aim high, but yes, we will have to accept half a loaf sometimes
Saying that, I think its pretty obvious Walker and the Wisconsin Republicans have simply been outmaneuvered on this. Their heart was in the right place, but as of yet they have simply not succeeded in making this legislation law. A massive battle was fought over this budget repair bill featuring the collective bargaining changes, and it is STILL not in effect. The Democrats have done the most appalling and atrocious things in this fight and have managed to get away with them, meanwhile the Republicans appear to be trying to do things by the book and getting their butt's handed to them.
The union thugs are using their pawns to their maximum advantage. Delay, delay, delay. Think this will be the last lawsuit against the law? I doubt it. The left has the chief justice on the Wisconsin Supreme court to hold things up, drag things out. If they finally get around to ruling in Walker's favor I have little doubt more lawsuits will be filed to stop the law again and force it up through the courts. Meanwhile Kloppenclown will probably drag things out in an attempt to keep Prosser from having a say on this. At the same time the leftists are using the recall elections to pressure the Wisconsin Senate Republicans from taking this issue up again. So far, that seems to be working.
If the conservative judges on the Wisconsin Supreme Court can not or will not slap Sumi down, it is time for the Republicans in the Assembly and state Senate to repass the collective bargaining legislation and comply with the Open Meetings Law. And why aren't they doing that? My guess is the unions and Democrats have them scared to death of more protests and the upcoming recalls.
