Of course, we know the unions and their supporters just can't handle what has happened.

It's really not all that surprising their true natures have been exposed.

Senator skipping parade after threat

Quote:
State Senator Randy Hopper and State Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt, both Republicans, have decided not to march in the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday.

Deputy Chief Kevin Lemke says officers advised Hopper not to attend.
Nice display of free speech and democracy the unions and their supporters are showing the rest of the country.

Looks like they have identified one of the goonettes who has been sending the threats.

They would probably get shanked "union" style. I can't say I blame them for skipping the festivities.

Now, I would be inclined to participate myself. Why should they let these threats of violence stop them from joining in. That's just what the people who make these threats want.

I agree with Sanrene. These threatening criminals need to see that civic duty trumps low life threats.

I also imagine the unions and other participants will try to make political statements, which should not be allowed.

And it seems that Republicans have not yet realized that actions taken by the Republican governor will cause yet other changes in the 2012 elections. I think there is a lot of "buyers' remorse" already.

The union members hold the superior position. So repulsed are they by the GOP agenda, they're willing to threaten to kill. Fearful by nature because of their inferior ideology, the GOP interpets this as imminent danger. Laughable, the GOP.

WI traditionally a Dem state and it will be going back to its roots shortly. GOP lawmakers should be hiding. They are a disgraceful bunch, worst in history.

If that's going to happen, why are all these fools still out protesting?
