I just don’t get it. Wisconsin isn’t huge, our electoral votes are minimal. Why all the focus on us? We aren’t going to decide a national election.
I think it’s because we’re so sharply divided so closely down the middle. Any lib victory can be used as a shining example by them, sort of saying “Look what we’re up against.”
ALL VOTES ARE CRITICAL....Wisconsin is my home state and I'm ashamed of the virtual socialist takeover of the state. Wisconsin has become the laughing stock of the country. Your teachers union is in this battle for the benefit of the union leaders period. They could care less about the rank and file. When the members wake up and figure out that they are being used as pawns to save the union leaders.....maybe they'll throw them out. It is pitiful when two parties, unions and government are argueing over someone else's money (taxpayers). Unions get the money and Democrat politicians get their votes....hell of a way to run a country. First thing that should be done is that the state stops witholding union dues from state employees. If the unions want their dues, send the members a dues notice. If the members really think so much of the unions, they will pay them (they won't) and the unions know it! Also, no more mandatory membership requirements to get or keep a job. that would somewhat level the playing field....everyone useing their own money
The battle in Wisconsin is very symbolic. And if SW is successful it will make it very difficult for unions to collect dues & fund democrats.
While I’m hoping the GOP wins in a landslide in 2012, I’m guessing that it will be very close and that it could come down to who wins Wisconsin.
Its not about Dims v RINOs. It is about princples. These guys have killed out country. Both of them. They are jackals fighting over the corpse of the country that Washington and Lincoln deeded to us, that our forbears fought great wars to create and preserve.
