Thanks for posting. Not a surprise that DNC, RATS and unions are joined at the hip.

We caught them being bussed into Jackson Michigan during the health care fight when we protested outside my former congressman’s office.
I’m just real glad we elected a secretary of state who has a taste for marxist blood.

RICO Statute?
Indeed. It's straight out of the Chicago Way playbook.
Scott Walker is cleaning up the swamp. The alligators and snakes don’t like it.

"Currently, Wisconsin state employees pay less than 5 percent of the premium cost for family coverage (4.35 percent for union employees and 4.96 percent for non‐union employees). Thats lower than the 6.2 percent they paid in 2009, when Wisconsins employee contribution was the second‐lowest among Midwest states for family coverage.
Republican Governor Scott Walker has proposed raising the employee share of health insurance premiums to 12.4 percent, however even after the additional contribution, the contribution rate would still be less than the 2009 Midwest average for state government employees.
Moreover, the new rate would also be less than the employee contributions required at 85 percent of large Milwaukee‐area employers.
The proposed changes would cost the average state employee an additional $1,560 per year for family coverage, but the amount they would pay ($2,496) would still be significantly less than the $3,875 average premium contribution at large private‐sector employers in southeastern Wisconsin.
State employees will also continue to get much more for their money than their private sector counterparts, the study reads. The state plan offers more benefits, lower deductibles, co-pays and out of pocket maximums than the average private sector plan.

That damn Tim Kaine and he wants to come back here to Virginia to run for Senate. Screw him!
Yep. DNC, RATS, Unions, ACORN and ANSWER.
The alligators and snakes will only stay while box lunches are provided. Once the free stuff is gone, they’ll be heading back home to Momma’s basement.
Why was this moved from front page to blogs?
It is not a blog it is news or am I missing something?
They’ve done it time and time again in Chicago too.
Hmmm, would that work?
I’d love to know why as well.
Where is pelosi with her astroturf?
I’m wondering if OFA bussed the lawmakers to the resort.
