"According to analysts, the mine would have brought with it well over 500 jobs and eventually more than 2,000 — not including other jobs in manufacturing and services from Milwaukee in the southeast to small towns in the region in the north. The investment would have injected at least $1.5 billion into the local economy, too."

Democrats being Democrats.

and many of those jobs would be going to hardscrabble towns in the north, where currently a part-time gig at Dollar General is considered a pretty good job.

Thanks for the details - typical and sad.

Nothing, NOTHING, matters to Democrats except defeating Walker in the recall election, and using it as propaganda momentum to propel Obama in to reelection.

If you monitor Daily Kos, the whackos are VERY CLEAR about what this means, and the more misery they can create in Wisconsin between now and then, the better.

The Democrat allies in the media are willingly playing along with this meme, too.

Liberals are all it takes to destroy a community. I live in the ugly cyst of Dane County where we have been occupied for 30 years by commies and leaches. Don’t let it metastasize!

“where currently a part-time gig at Dollar General is considered a pretty good job.”

A part-time Dollar General on Foodstamps and WIC is a Sure-fire Democrat voter.
A well-paid conservative is not.

Liberals are all it takes to destroy a community

This needs to be repeated often and loudly. ALL of America's ills are caused by Liberals.

Liberals, Progressives, Socialists, Marxists, Communists. All the same, just different names.

Wisconsin Democrats are DEATHLY AFRAID of Scott Walker’s surging economy. They can’t have that!

You can’t build a Socialist state if jobs are being created.

Jobs? Who needs jobs? Democrats don't want to punch holes in Mother Gaia.

There are several examples of very upset private union leaders speaking out very strongly against this action by the public union-controlled Legislature down in Madistan.

While the Pacific Northwest gets all the press concerning lib/sems destroying the logging industry, The Adirondacks of northern NY are filled with towns that barely subsist now thanks to what lib environmentalism and Dem politics did to the logging industry there.

Go to Google or whatever and look up the Tri-Lakes area. Tupper Lake, Saranac Lake and Lake Placid (of Olympic fame) along with other area communities/and their businesses.. Read up on their history over the last 30-40 years. There, you see Wisc’s future.

There are truly evil people at the heart of the “enviromentalist” movement. I can understand evil.
The liberals who follow them off the cliff like lemmings are simply useful idiots. I have a difficult time understanding stupid.

Underlying the main story, is the realization of of future reality in Wisconsin. After every contentious partisan vote, there will be an effort to recall someone.

This is the Democrats contribution to “civil” political discourse.

I would argue that this is actually going to help Walker in the recall election and any others up in a recall or the general 2012 election. I think the Dems shot themselves in their collectivist feet on this one.
