I have a friend that teaches in the Milwaukee suburbs. She voted for Obama in 2008, she voted for Barrett in 2010...she was secretly leaning to Walker in 2012 - not wanting any of her coworkers to know. I am curious if she did vote for him. Why did she flip? Walker's policy undoubtedly saved her job.
How many teachers had their jobs saved by Walker went into the precincts chanting "yes we can, Barrett, solidarity, down with capitalism" and then quietly pulled the lever for Walker?
The working class wins one for a change, and a message for Democrats, which will be misread because they'll blame the results on Big Money.
I would not blame all Democrats. I am very impressed by my Democratic governor (Governor Cuomo) along with some of the more courageous Democrats in the legislature who finally stood up to the teacher's union last year.
I think many Democratic leaders here in NY know that the property taxes are killing the state but they feel powerless to stand up to the public employee unions. For years, the weak Republican party (in NY) has not exactly been fighting hard against the special interests either.
Wisconsin will become a right to work state under Walker and the wages in that state will become dismal. In America, too many are working for slave wages to enrich a few.
ooh no, here comes the fear, ignoring the fact that other states are right to work states and dont have dismal wages.. What do you have to make this doomsday prediction?
You guys go from 1 doom and gloom scenario to another.
A great night for conservatism! Time to adjust those electoral maps. Time for the liberals on this site to eat crow.
