This poll needs attention

[sgtyork]

This is a big one. I read on another site that the unions are sending this to their members. WSJ is more persuasive, need to keep this one in favor of more freedom for taxpayers.

[circumbendibus]

Done. We’re still ahead.

[chesty_puller]

Poll not available try again later.

[West Texas Chuck]

Looks like the NOs are ahead by an eyelash.

I vote FU to all unions and all their outdated BS.

[oprahstheantichrist]

It’s around 50-50 so far.

Most of the comments are pro-union, however.

Why don’t they make the poll question(s) simpler, like

DOE U WANT YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO PAY FOR UNION PENSIONS?

Okay, let them have collective bargaining rights, but make it illegal for them to perform ANY political actions, including directly or indirectly lobbying or donating to politicians, that would potentially influence the outcome of the collective bargaining. For far too long, the unions have donated to the very same Rats who are supposed to be looking out for the interest of the states and counties. Instead, those Rats give the unions anything they want and pass the bill on to the taxpayer.

On Rush’s program today he mentioned “Where are the polls”? and that they must not be good for the unions, so you know, crickets.

I wouldnt put it past the crooked pollsters to outright rig them now. This is striking deep at the heart of the D Party, to neuter their Union planations.

But taxpayers are sick and tired of being co-slaves on the Rat farm. Frigging tired of footing the bill for their commie BS. What did that guy say in “Network”?

[tennmountainman]

Yeah, I heard that.

He missed a point though. Senator Khol of WI, who is up for re-election in 2012 has stayed away from showing up in person or addressing the issue.

That, should tell anyone where KHOL thinks the polls are.

[Gasshog]

Boy same ol’ tired arguments at the WSJ comments section.

What if you need a union nurse, police, etc

and the rich man, this rich man that.

So are we supposed to think that we cant have nurses if there are no unions? I live next door to a cop, he isnt union. He still does a job as a cop.

The unionistas are deluded, deranged and detached from reality.

[Minus_The_Bear]

That's their mindset:

Union first, cop second... that is why there is so much corruption & so many dirty cops.

[sgtyork]

Good, up .4 percent!

[Hunton Peck]

Must be the Koch brothers buying votes. < /sarc>

[MinuteGal]

Freeped and bumped.

[jackibutterfly]

So, WHY do the State employees need collective bargaining when they already have civil service. WE Federal employees are civil service, and WE don’t have unions.

[Texas56]

48.9% No
46.6% Yes

[WVNan]

Freeped and bumped. Keep voting on this one.
