Did the Republican's make a mistake in Wisconsin?
My hubby | 3/9/2011 | MsLady

Posted on 03/09/2011 7:44:44 PM PST by MsLady

My hubby said he thinks the republican's screwed up in Wisconsin. He said he thought public opinion would turn against them now. He thought they should have just waited the democrats out and let them sweat it out in IL. Comments and keep in nice :) it's late and I don't feel like getting yelled at.

That is good to hear. I just viewed a video on youtube that was showing protesters storming the Capitol tonight. Almost all them looked like college students.

How do WI judicial elections work? Prosser will run against another candidate? Or is it a vote to retain or not retain?

Great situation in WI. LIBs lose. Now...everyone who loves Free America must keep fighting these anti-America, anti-American loser LIBs on every front. No quarter to these bankrupt losers and their misled supporters. No quarter. Compromising means appeasement. Compromise means weakness and fecklessness.

They are doing what they were elected to do.

It’s not like they creeped in under the cover of darkness and did this.

I disagree with your hubby. At some point we have to draw the line and stand up to the dims. Recent elections have shown that many people are voting for candidates to do just that. Of course voters are strange and your hubby could be right...but I hope not.

"He said he thought public opinion would turn against them now."

What public is that, the majority public paying for these fat pensions that are unique to the privileged few that could generate them through perversions of decency and democracy?

This was brilliant. Now the dems will show up, the doors will be locked and a vote will be taken on the original bill that’s already been approved by the assembly. The bill they signed today will be withdrawn. At least I hope that’s their plan.

Conservatives should cut as deep-n-long as long as they can.
So that when (if) dems are back they have (from their POV)
work to do. Slash! You can not cut enough. When voters see
their taxes going down, there will be no stopping it.

Mantra:
""Stop Public Union Laundering of tax dollars to Democrates"".

Mom and dad are watching Junior's antics and are not amused. Mom and Dad vote, Junior probably doesn't.

They are already this evening trying to cope with massive civilian interference with the process; can you imagine what would have happened had they waited the full 24 hours? I can see a sound argument for “good cause” based on the extreme political unrest, especially as the heart of the requirement has already been met; everyone who had an interest in this legislation has had more than enough time to provide their input.

Of the things President Bush did right, he refused to govern by polls. Such is the case in Wisconsin. Had the Republican’s wilted under the pressure from the Union(s) and the media (and their polls), they would have alienated the very voters who elected them.

This was the right decision and really makes the elected Democrats involved look like complete fools.

Are the people of Wi. running their state or are the unions running it.
