I was thinking about this yesterday. Before the vote last night. At that time, I had a serious feeling that we were going to lose this because the longer that standoff went on, the dems were able to display the weakness of republicans. I think Walker surprised them by doing what they never figured the pubbies would have the guts to do.
Now the dems and the unions just have all made themselves look bad like bullies. It also makes the fleebaggers look like fools. It would have been far better for them to stay and make a big deal about voting against the bill.
Fighting the left and their union minions are going to take steel spines. Calling their bluff and calling them out is the only way you can win.
The only thing we could do much better is learn to get the message out about why public sector unions are bad for the taxpayers of America. We are terrible about explaining in simple terms what we are doing and why. We have to give people a picture of the outcome and why this will save their state. We need to use examples of how these unions are taking too much for themselves at your expense.
I think Walker surprised everybody, including me. I was delighted. In the past to many republicans caved, either totally, or partially. God bless him. I agree with your comments too. That’s the way it looked to me. Like a bunch of spoiled dangerous children, throwing a huge tantrum. They just showed the rest of the country their true colors and they are dark and ugly.
I think the thing that bothers me the most about the public unions is, you can’t fire them. No matter how bad the worker is, it’s almost impossible. And of course the benefits and some of the wages are ridiculous.
