Some scumocrat on MSNBC admitted to driving 80 MPH on the highway. I happen to know that the speed limit in Illinois is 55 MPH, and it is 65 MPH in Wisconsin. So assuming he is in wisconsin he is still 15 MPH and should have been pulled over.
Just my view is that the longer standoff was killing Walker and he needed to break it anyway he could. Ideally they will all run back to WI, Republicans will get their way on both bills, the fiscle situation improves, companies move in and create jobs to take advantage of tax cuts, Democrats Boo-hoo, and they get called sore losers, and then Republicans win re-election, then Walker runs for POTUS and wins in a landslide (OK, that last part was just fun.)
Nothing was worse than the extended standoff after Democrats ‘made’ all those ‘concessions’. This is how Clinton beat you-know-who.
RE:” One problem is that Walker has insisted that the collective bargaining issue is a budget issue. Now he is going to sign it, after the legislature passed it, claiming that they didn't need 20 senators, because it isn't a budget item.”
Interesting thought. So far Dems haven't thought that on MSNBC but I will be the first to credit you for the prediction if they do(or if my first reaction here is wrong.) . In the bigger longer picture I don't see it mattering because of the above.
On the other side the Democrats spent weeks on camera claiming that this part had nothing to do with the budget. So they know that they would become a national joke if they suddenly claimed that it was. All they said about this last night is that Walker is contradicting himself by claiming it was, not that they (Democrats) were wrong all along.
I turned on progressive radio, the weeping and moaning continues.
