Many thanks to the union thugs for creating the opportunity for taxpayers to start ending the extortion.

I love the media spin I heard on my local channel tonight. They said the race was “very close.” (snicker) Then they made sure to point out that the voters in WI favor Obama over
Romney by 9 points.

Useless tools all of them!

As the old saying goes, “that which does not kill us, makes us stronger.” Democrat and union hubris in Wisconsin forced Republicans and Conservatives to fight back hard, and in so doing, they developed muscles they didn’t know they had.

Now, with the succulent taste of victory fresh in their minds, they can turn their attention towards November.

I agree with this writer. The Democrats are totally screwed — and they have nobody but themselves to blame.

Oh MAN... I can’t wait for the next DU funnies!!!!

This election is HUGE bellwether of the American sentiment towards President Obama. Sorry, Mr. President.

Walker is the bravest leader in America. He should be our President.

Everyone needs to take a good hard look at THIS PICTURE FROM RUETERS taken on election day in a public polling place and remember what we are up against.

Does it remind you of a Chairman Mao poster hanging somewhere in commie land?

"Stroke of the pen. Law of the land. Kinda cool." --Clinton presidential aide Paul Begala, July 1998

Public Service doesn't mean you're to be serviced by the public for life

President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.

This is why unions should again be outlawed for public employees.

When collective bargaining was brought into American schools in the 1960s, it was a revenue stream and power base for Big Labor. Suddenly, union bosses became more interested in building political muscle than educating children.

At that point the battle between unions and school boards became more focused on salary, benefits, pensions and working conditions for adults, and less about students.

Kids are only pawns in the self-serving union game.

What is the purpose of teacher unions? To work for children? Establish new and better requirements? Push their members to better serve parents and children?

"Despite what some among us would like to believe, it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children. And it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power. And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees" ...National Education Association's just-retired General Counsel Bob Chanin. (The NEA is the County and State Association's parent body).

NEA General Counsel Bob Chanin Says Farewell:

VIDEO

As legendary New York teachers union leader Albert Shanker said, "When school children start paying union dues, that's when I'll start representing the interests of school children."

All government unions should be banned. The idea that government workers need protection from guess who?? THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, is ridiculous. remember, teachers are government employees. Ban government unions.

Well said.

Romney should take heed. Conservativism sells. Walker did better than Romney polls in WI, a Dem leaning state. You know that Rush will emphasize this fact with good reason tomorrow.

Maybe this will get the democrat liberals so low down in the dumps it will affect turnout in November.
