just like the last 3 times
Labor, foaming at the mouth. Perhaps Trumka should be tested for raboes.
Wisconsin was literally flooded with union drones at the time - you couldn't cross the street without seeing one.
With their numbers down and having to spread their presence nationwide, I can't see it having a significant impact.
While they are at it, ask if Medico has unions, you know, the place where all the union jobs are going to die.
Walker=Lucy with football. Union=Charlie Brown wanting to kick the ball.
that’s what they said the last three times.
Good VIDEO! Thanks.
The GE Years: What Made Reagan Reagan
"I trace Reagan’s evolution from liberal to conservative, from actor to politician. The changes took place during the time when he served as host of the General Electric Theater on television. His contract also called for him to spend a quarter of his eight years (1954-1962) with the company touring the forty states and 139 plants of GE’s far-flung decentralized corporate domain, addressing 250,000 employees and their neighbors. When he joined GE in 1954, Reagan was a Democrat and a self-described “New Dealer to the core.” One of the early photos in the book shows him at the White House – the Truman White House -- where he was thanked by the president for his strong support in the 1948 election. He had been a leader and organizer of California’s “Labor for Truman.” He was then serving as president of the Screen Actors Guild, which opposed “Right-to-Work” laws. Two years later, he supported Democrat Helen Gahagan Douglas in her U. S. Senate contest against Republican Richard Nixon. In 1952, he backed the Republican candidate for president, but as a Democrat for Eisenhower.
However, on October 27, 1964, two years after he had left GE, Reagan delivered a nationally-televised speech in support of conservative Barry Goldwater, the Republican candidate for president. Supporters and critics alike thereafter referred to Reagan’s remarks as “The Speech.” The dean of the Washington press corps referred to it as “the most successful political debut since William Jennings Bryan’s ‘Cross of Gold’ speech in 1896.” In 1966, Reagan was elected governor of California.
As Reagan later commented, he had been giving The Speech for years, in a variety of versions, in his role as GE’s “Traveling Ambassador.” But Reagan learned more in his GE years than a set of prepared remarks. He became familiar with such diverse thinkers as von Mises, Lenin, Hayek, and the Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu. He read and reread the practical economics of Henry Hazlitt. He quoted Jefferson, Madison and Hamilton. He observed GE’s vice president Lemuel Boulware, whom many leaders in corporate America regarded as the most successful labor negotiator of all time, and Reagan himself sharpened his negotiating skills during this period when he served another term as president of the Screen Actors Guild. (An intriguing aspect of this process occurred in 1960, when Boulware was urging GE’s workers not to strike at the same time as Reagan, as SAG president again, took his members out on strike against the Hollywood producers. Incredibly, the situation worked out for the benefit of both GE and SAG.)".......
And you don't think the Unions aren't pissed enough about that to redouble their efforts to defeat any ticke Walker is on? Like I said, Unions have lost a lot of their influence but they still have enough in states like Ohio to make it difficult for him, if not deny him the state altogther.
Yet he will win the Reagan Democrats? Not seeing it.
Workers are not the leadership.
Of course the leadership is going to fight to get their gig back.

I would use that as my slogan if I were Walker
bttt!
Good stuff.
LOL you would think so.
Walker was elected and re-elected as County Executive in BLUE Milwaukee. It took a fair amount of "Reagan Democrats" to accomplish that. The same thing can be said of his statewide wins.
Their coffers? Those are stolen tax payer dollars.
