This is too optimistic. Wisconsin is the first couple battles of trench warfare. The unions have a lot of money and other states are more union friendly. I worry what will happen in Michigan and Pennsylvania, for instance. We are in a war with entrenched Lib power bases and we have less resources than them. Wisconsin proves that they can’t simply muscle their will through against needed, common sense reforms. That is great news. But it doesn’t mean they are dead, or that they won’t change their tactics. Get ready for years of battle.

On August 9, the Democrats and unions made their last stand at the Alamo.

Bad analogy (or at least I hope so). Although nearly all the defenders of the Alamo were killed, their side eventually won the war for Texas independence. Maybe Napoleon's invasion of Russia would be a better analogy. It wasn't the end of Napoleon, but it was his highest point and he lost a lot in the futile battle and retreat.

Well - I doubt that we’ve heard the last gasp out of the union thugs, entitlement leeches, living-in-mommy’s basement social media crowd, but in all honesty I think we are more than ready for them. Just be prepared for brutality, and don’t be timid as these schoolyard thugs try to intimidate us.

Wrong analogy. The Alamo was a successful holding action that, despite the loss of he garrison, held up the Mexican army for 13 crucial days and set up the ultimate victory at St Jacinto.

A better analogy would be the Progressives Battle of the Bulge, a costly vain counter attack trying to stave off final defeat

More like the progressive’s Pickett’s Charge from the battle of Gettysburg.

From this angle I see it as more of a conservative Rorke’s Drift.

Still a lot of Zeros out there.

The union corporations spent 31 million dollars and lost.

31 million is 29% of the states current years deficit!

They could have helped everyone by donating the money to the state!

“There is no way to overstate the impact of the Republicans keeping control of the state Senate in these recall elections.”

Agreed, agreed, agreed.

This was a great victory, even though by only one run.

We’ve got to keep beating on them, The Left delanda est.
