Wisconsin has lost tens of thousands of jobs due to democrat and union control. It's not only happening in Michigan, it's happening everywhere in a democrat controlled environment, like California, Massachusetts , New Jersey, etc. Governor Jim Doyle is responsilbe for the downfall of Wisconsin's economy.

Yow, this is another piece of bad news for Wisconsin. The union people will wish they voted the other way soon.

Look,
If the good folks of Wisconsin want to work the fry line at Wendys instead of having a great manufacturing job, so be it.
They voted for this crap.

Zero will claim all the jobs in Oklahoma were “saved” by his stimulus package. The Wisconsin jobs will just fade away.

In before Obamanation's press release saying that the company is 'acting stupidly.'

This could cause the Demonrats to further expose themselves. You KNOW they will be unable to refrain from commenting.

Galt’s Gulch is going to have to be freakin’ HUGH to fit everyone that will want to be there!
Let’s get Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee to secede.

Ya know, I just figured those UNION pukes would pull that stunt. So, now my son-in-law is out of a job (soon). So sorry grandkids, but Daddy lost his job because some people couldn't pull their head out of their a$$ long enough to see the implications. Dumb asses.

Union thugs have a new friend in the White House but some companies are tired of being pushed around by them. Boeing has a thing going with the machinists union over the assembly line for the 787, it involves whether it will be in Washington or South Carolina.

That is exactly what he has been doing only some of the scenarios are even a more stupid way for him to claim 'victory' for saving jobs.

The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, Local

guys, they aren't stupid. - this is the agenda

They know that they have plenty of time to wreck capitalism totally.
This international union centers are, by and large, Communist in nature and truly believe in the class warfare ethos.

I used to belong to 2 of these unions and the orders from the international bosses were at odds with what we knew to be common sense from a business point of view.

as long as there is no right to work then the unions are protected and capitalism will fail.
