Fab14 gets a big reception as well. Today, the crows are pronominal. Even OX has been relating what is happening in Madison to the recall wave that resulted in Arnold taking over the Govship of California, or in term Walker understands, 'Cali'. If you think this is over in Wisc, well, you are a Republican.

They will never admit it....like the poster looking for the Tractor Parade will never admit there was one and they weren't lawn tractors...facts and the truth will never sway repugs.
Couldn't say it better myself You can see all the brainwashed, ultra-right wing goons say all the same things, post the same pictures etc,.. they follow their owners and do what they are told like sheep, and do their fascist master's bidding without question.

the generation of republicans elected in wisconsin will be gone in 2012, like the dems were in 2010.

you will see a similar grass roots effort to the tea party with the union folks imo

And of course, "75% of these people were union thugs bussed in from out of state, and they caused $50 million in vandalism..."

So, in defending the middle class union members they are indirectly in favor of middle class tax increases.

It's the middle class that pay taxes to pay the middle class unions' salaries, benefits, etc.
So the middle class is fighting FOR the middle class and AGAINST the middle class at the same time ?

These people WANT higher taxes so a minority of their group gets guaranteed incomes/retirement/benefits ?

Default imported protestors hate taxpayers

Misguided fools assimilated into the arms of the socialist union elite.

Heaven forbid anyone would make an actual list of changes and see that the benefits allowed are better than the fed workers and private sector workers.

Tough to have any sympathy for protestors except for their lack of perspective.

The entire issue is about the union sourced economic lifeline of the Democratic party being cut off. Nothing else is at issue.

They are screwing the middle class working txpayer. and endangering the fiscal stability of government.

Remember the Philadelphia Transit workers' strike of 1944.

The Elite Corporate Rich have been systematcially looting this country full-time, ever since the last regulatory restrictions were removed in the 70's and 80's. They've successfully bought enough Congressmen over the years to make sure they get their way. Now, they've packed the SCOTUS, to make sure court decisions go their way (Citizen's United), so there are no restrictions what so ever in how much money they can use to buy MORE political influence.

Now that they've bankrupted the country, and there is no money for a social network, they are sitting back chortling, while we are at each others throats for the scaps. Remember the fake phone call Walker took from Koch? Yeah, I know, that wasn't Koch, BUT THAT WAS WALKER!!! Pay close attention to what he said- the curtain was definitely parted there for a minute.

Congratulations, Happy. You are an example of just what they were hoping for. A middle class American pissed off at OTHER middle class Americans, while the real culprits are getting away with murder.
