Policemen and firefighters earn their pay via a path that the other groups (particularly teachers with a thing for indoctrination) don't choose to take .... that's just the way it is.

But the rest of you have shown your true colors in the from of youe conduct at OWS and siimlar rabble/conscousness-raisng.

We can even provide basic security for you, if you keep your heads down, your hands busy, and your mouths shut.

Otherwise, you can have what you deserve.
Then why do you conservative repubs, like Walker, make promises to create 250,000 new jobs while campaigning?

What "path" is that? They are all public sector jobs with demonic unions aren't they?

No matter how the jobs are "created" they are likely to be crappy due to the nature of human want; both parties acknowledge this behind closed doors, but it is the Democrats who are more likely to dip the facts in cherry Kool-Aid, siply due to the more simplistic and short-sighted nature of their core clientele.

Policemen and firefighters aren't as likely to parrot the "wisdom" of the NEA, SEIU and AFSCME as part of their job.

Did you major in double talk? Your posts make no sense at all.

You mean as in fighting for freedom over right wing fascist attacks?

The fire fighters of Wisconsin were out in full force, kilts and all in the freezing cold protesting against Walker.

In April 2012, the Milwaukee Police Association and Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Association unions endorsed Governor Walker in the recall election.

Sucks to be a Democrat in WI these days.

Quote:
“Governor Walker has a strong record of supporting public safety with an unwavering commitment to first responders,” said Michael Crivello, president of the Milwaukee Police Association. “Today, we are proud to announce our support for Governor Walker’s reelection.” Dave Seager, president of the Milwaukee Professional Firefighters Association also proudly expressed support for Governor Walker saying, “Throughout his service in the State Assembly, as Milwaukee County executive, and now as governor, Governor Walker has always supported public safety and protected the needs of first responders. There is no greater advocate for public safety than Governor Walker.”
Responding to the endorsement, Governor Walker reinforced his commitment to Milwaukee’s first responders:

Maybe one branch did, but many more sure didn't

Even the president of Wisconsin's fire fighter's union is running against the GOP lt. Governor

But then again, I thought all those right wing goons think unions are evil, greedy, leftist scumbags?

Talk about a rat faced dolt with dead eyes. Only in Wisconsin, the home of Ed Geen, Jeff Dahlmer and the corpse raping idiots would they vote a moron like this into office.
You show that liberals are people that can't come up with good ideas and only spew hate like this.
