Rasmussen consistently shows conservative bias in their polling numbers compared to other firms. If Rasmussen shows numbers like this, Scott Walker has lost the war in Wisconsin.
Another interesting tidbit: 58% of people with children in public schools think teachers unions are a good thing.
He says that because while he is governor, they won't be getting every single silly, unresponsible thing they demand. He will stand up to them and expose their demands for what they are. I'm fine with collective bargaining if their demands are exposed and dealt with by a responsible person who won't cave in because of union political money
I know, right? Christie changed his tune on collective bargaining in RESPONSE to the national poll numbers because he saw the writing on the wall. I keep saying this, but if the R's wanted to pick the one issue that would unite moderate R's and the D's, this would be it.

That's why they call it bargaining--it's a two way street--and that's why the argument by people like Walker that they have to gut it to balance budgets is a lie.
Yeah, he loves it because it would have 2 parties negotiating. Corzine was living with the head of one of unions the state negotiated with. There was no opposition. Unfortunately since the Dems are funded by the unions you can't count on honest brokers all the time.

Read the link and get back to us, your represetation of what was said is, of course, completely wrong. Please let us know what Christie's position on collective bargaining was before Wisconsin.

Sure but how often is there really any real two way bargaining? Seems to me unions are no longer even functioning as their initial purpose. They have destroyed that and now demand alot of non sense. They have been abusing their "right" and taken advantage of the tax payers. We get no say in this bargaining and we should because it is our money. We should know every single thing they ask for and have a say on if we approve.
