Will the unions come out when Obama asks them for help? He was going to put on a pair of comfortable shoes and march with them. In the end all they got was a tweet!

I think this is an interesting question. obama made lots of promises to these people which he broke, throwing them under the bus as quickly as he did his grandmother and that racist, rev. wright. Will the unions throw bo under the bus like he did to them?

Yeah well ... Obama made a lot of promises that didn't come to fruition. They were lucky to get even a tweet.

Isn't this the exact opposite? Democracy SUCCEEDING?

I mean, whether Walker wins or loses, this is EXACTLY the type of thing that Democracy is supposed to allow for. Yes, the Democrats lose, but Democracy wins.

Doubtful. By and large, libs just aren't smart enough to know when they've been tossed. They'll still be here bloviating and spinning.
