So true. And Sarah Palin was just one of the so very many. And when has a child been off limits? Think Sarah Palin children. Think David Letterman attacking Palin's 12 year old. Think all the comments here.
The lefts hypocricy is never ending. Unbelievable.

Have you seen the polling data? Why in the world would they be in a panic? I am quite certain Walker believes he is making a mistake. Unfortunately for him, he's stuck. He can't back down now.

If we had a democracy politicians would get booted from office every six months.

Yes, I have seen the polling data. 71% of Americans DO NOT want to pay any more of any kind of tax. That pretty much ends the public unions' demands to be able to bargain collectively. There's no money with which to bargain, and taxpayers don't want to pay any more. Game over.

Look up "non sequitur" and you will see that post as an example.

So... are you saying we can bargain with bottle caps? ...Or fake board game money?

Some of the parties involved in this dispute need to awake from their deluded dream and realize... there is no money. Screaming I want, I want, I want ad infinitum will do absolutely nothing to change that basic, inescapable fact.

Obviously you are wrong here, as the gov't is, in this case, wholly owned by unions. Walker is taking a stand against that trend in WI.
