I disagree with you on some points. Walker and the GOP have stood firm, resolute. I have walked to the Capitol amid this crowd and been inside and it is intimidating. The cowards are the fourteen senators who have run from their responsibility. There have been people working round the clock for days now trying to bring some force to the absent dems. People have been intimidated and I don't just mean at the Capitol and on the isthmus of Madison. The real intimidation isn't occurring there where there are cameras and it is public. There are leftists whose entire world view is confined to the isthmus...including the mayor, but the Union thugs have been having private “conversations” at private businesses to intimidate people who oppose them in other parts of Madison, in other parts of Dane County and other parts of the state. It is chilling.
There are cowards in the GOP, no question, but there are some people working very, very hard to honor the constitution and the laws of the land and yet bring force to bear on these fourteen cowards. The Unions have a long and remarkable history of graft, corruption, intimidation, violence and general lawlessness....it is nearly impossible to counter that with meaningful civil response, especially when local law enforcement is unwilling to cooperate. The teachers have now demonstrated that they follow the unions/Dems and support those same tactics of general lawlessness.
It is a hostile environment in Madison, but there are a few very brave people willing to try and bring force to bear on these fourteen cowards. It is not as easy as it appears from a distance.
