Yah, great gain. All 3, or is it 4, Union members who don't already vote for him will do so now. Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of "liberated" non-union Americans have the parasites lifted from their backs.

I agree, much applause for Scott Walker, not only because he helped the American, i.e. conservative, cause, but because he did the right (correct) thing.

Picked up?

Didnt he already have their vote?

The AFL-CIO mobster boss is at the WH more then Obama is.

Have you heard that the union membership has shrunk like a rock lately?

And it will drop a ton more now that the people have a CHOICE to hand their money to a mobster style boss so he can live a lavish lifestyle and fly to DC to meet with Obama all of the time.

Freedom of choice was just handed to the union members by Walker.

Something Obama could not get done.

"Obama just picked up Union vote for '12 election"

Ummm he already had the union vote before what is happening in Wisconsin started happening.

This thread is pointless.

Not entirely pointless. It gives the lefties something
to feel good about in the face of a crushing defeat.

Yeah, because Unions voted GOP before, everybody knows that lol

Seriously it's a threat for Obama, if unions lose money and influence they won't be able to give as much as 2008 to Obama.

When you show us some objective evidence that union's don't already give "historically high" support for Democratic candidates in the first place, then this thread might actually get off the ground. For now, I find nothing new about unions supporting Democrats.

Are you saying unions bypass that civil right and force all union individuals, to allow the union to cast their vote for them?
Before we retired my husband was in the carpenters union. The President of the Union came on the job my husband was running and told him" I want you and you men to Vote for Obama, needless to say this did not go well. My husband told him where he could stick his recommendation!

As others have stated on here already, is Obama getting the union vote any suprise here? Sorry to say for those that follow him, but come 2012, Obama will not be the POTUS....America has had enough
