Why are the dems/Left/unions NOT making the bill on CB an issue in this election, the issue that started the recall in the first place?

Wisconsin Dems sidestep labor debate in recall - Robin Bravender - POLITICO.com

Quote:
“It’s funny, because this thing was supposed to be about collective bargaining, but I don’t remember the Democrats talking about collective bargaining in this campaign,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told reporters last week on a conference call. He called the issue a “dead dog loser” for the left.
Why? Because the reforms have been a monumental success for the state and it's citizens.

All the fear mongering from the Left/unions/dems was totally and completely.....WRONG.

We Are Wisconsin, a political action committee based in Madison, is one of the most active groups campaigning against Republican Gov. Scott Walker. The PAC since May 24 has received more than $1.18 million from unions in other states and Washington, D.C. Most of that total has been spent to bring in out-of-state organizers to help drive Tuesday's get-out-the-vote initiatives.


Unions Flood Wisconsin In Final Days of Walker Recall - Reason.com

They better not go all Black Panther (voter intimidation) on Wisconsin voters. I'm betting there will be a big discrepancy between exit polling and actual vote counts. Anyone think I'm wrong? I say they lie to exit pollers on how they voted. When and if that happens, the TV news shows will look stupid with their projections.

A union member has no say as to where his/her union dollars go politically.

They are communist.

How do you square the fact that all people have different work ethics, but are paid the same?

What about the fact that everyone has a different "need"? In a union, you simply cannot earn more than the next person regardless of your higher need.

There goes the leftie argument that people should be paid on "need" rather than the value of the labor.

When one joins a union, they should be handed grey pajamas and a hat with a hammer and sickle.

also, since you mentioned it, i know quite a few blacks that are in the tea party. people can belong to whatever group they want as long as the group does not mind them being there.
And I know some chickens that clearly support KFC!
