(40%) who Strongly Disapprove
I didn’t know union membership in WI was that high.
The 54% have had this garbage shoved in our face for over a year. I predict there will be a backlash at the polls when this election is ultimately held. Those who support Walker have been forced to remain quiet, but the frustration level will burst at the polls and Walker will be reeclected by a comfortable margin.
Democrats will then seek to exploit some other imagined offense to start the cycle all over again. We have seen this play before, only Bush was the main character and AlGore was the was the poor injured party in the 2000 election. We all know how that turned out. Bush was reelected in 2004 despite the daily, non-stop, shrill caterwauling.
They are unhinged in this state. They are the haves and they want more and no one has the right to deny them anything.

It’s not only the labor boys and girls who are pi$$ed at Walker. Every non-labor affiliated lefty in the state holds a grudge as well.
Wisconsin had lot of heavy industry at one time. So union labor was ubiquitous. Especially in areas adjacent to Chicago area such as Rockford, Milwaukee. I am not sure how much of that heavy industrial base has been lost since I retired in 1998. When I started my jobs in Chicago industrial complex, there was a huge number of large industrial plants present. Slowly, they moved to southern states to get away from unions. All those empty manufacturing plants & buildings in Chicago were so depressing. My own company was non-union for many years and did very well. Then union came in, and that started the downward trend with eventual bankruptcy and shuttering of the manufacturing plant.
it’s not just union
there are simply a lot of liberal whites up north
Scandinavian stock...folks who rely on govt, less faith in God, want society to take care of their needs...just look how it is now where so many come from...whatever happened to Viking guts and masculinity
it’s cultural..largely why they went union in the first place
I was just in Michigan..it’s a different world than what I am used to culturally
I can understand why northern freepers are so ragged and paranoid abou the left...what they deal with daily
Wisconsin went 54% for Obama via white vote
Kansas went 40% for Obama via white vote
Utah and Tennessee went around 65% via white vote
Mississippi and Alabama went around 89% via white vote
It’s culture and dealing with clear and present threat daily versus the Cosby show..southerners knew exactly what Obama would foster because they already had a taste for years in Memphis and Atlanta
and even more than that...I have lived 54 years and still unsure why Yankees are more socially progressive..they just are and always have been

Democrats are generally of a single mind, not transcending very far beyond the “good of the group” mentality. It makes for a tenacious political movement.
