I think they realize how bad it looked having the president's own OFA and the DNC organizing and fomenting anger and divisiveness, attacking a governor for trying to get his house in order.
Administration officials said Sunday that the White House had done nothing to encourage the demonstrations in Wisconsin — nor was it doing so in Ohio, Florida and other states where new Republican governors are trying to make deep cuts to balance their budgets...

Sometimes I can be "middle of the road" to a fault.
The twitter link is no good .. so heavily scripted that you can't even back your browser out of it .. and, according to the link, it was only retweeted once. If in fact it was a live Twitter link .. the retweets would show more than just one over a period of time.
I have no doubt that Obama and his cronies are liars .. both he and them are proving it over and over .. I am just questioning the overall integrity of the link itself
Maybe not, but given my history of postings on C-D, you'll find that I'll cite from the big 3 .. Left, Middle, and Right .. And your snark with regard to conservative opinion has fallen on my deaf ears.
No snark--just reality. I'm a moderate and I stay away from the opinion pieces on either side.
Balancing the budget is a power grab? .. Now that's funny.
The Gov is not trying to balance the budget, he is on a power trip. The Unions have agreed to his cuts with the exception of the bargining rights, but the power hungry gov won't agree and wants it all. If he wants to cut the budget how about getting rid of farm subsities or the ethenol subsities? He is anly attacking programs that benifit dems, kinda sounds like the House.

So? .. if that's the case, then why not let him have it all?
St Regis, among many others, busted the Unions in Washington State back in the 80's simply by firing the workers .. It wasn't a big deal .. the Union simply ran these companies out of money, and the curtain closed .. end of story.
The unions will do fine in sealing their own fate .. and IMO, if bargaining rights for wages was off of the table completely, then the Union would have a chance to last a bit longer. Otherwise, the State would have no choice but to send out the pink slips.
I wouldn't go off all half kocked just yet .. As soon as the Gov in Wis begins to fire the teachers, then we can begin to worry .. not for the Unions, but rather, for one of our own, that was forced into bankruptcy by the Union itself.
Washington Politics needs to stop using our children as pawns in their grab for more power ..
Unions need to be cut out of all government employment and in general government employment should be brought back to a much more rare thing.
Unions put hundreds of millions behind a politician who in return grows their numbers, raises their pay, throws money for free into their pensions and finances their health plans (all the way to their families), ALL ON TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
Totally corrupt situation, needs to be gone.
When you are giving Big Buisness and the Rich huge tax cuts and then attempt to bust the unions for all state workers supposedly due to budget shortfalls, YES, it is a power grab, or more accurately doing the bidding of their Masters. But I don't actually expect the Pawns to get it or care if they did.

The same crap can be said of the GOP who are obviously Owned lock stock and barrel by the Rich and Big Buisiness. I say they need to go and come election time we will see who does
