Oh, they all talk about how great unions are? Let's talk about what unions have done to once-prosperous places in Indiana:

I have (conservative) friends that live in Muncie and when I visited that city, I was shocked at what it looked like. My friends told me that the Democrats and the unions got greedy and held guns to the corporate heads and refused to budge, until the companies finally said, "Screw you," and shut down all the plants and thousands lost their jobs (and not all of them were union sympathizers).

If you want to see a prime example of what unions & Democrats will eventually do to your city, go to MUNCIE, INDIANA!

I have a time share in Muncie.

Just kidding. Could you imagine?

I’d love to take an abandoned town like Muncie and make my very own Galt’s Gulch right in the center of it....

Wisconsin will be closing the deal in a couple hours. Ohio will not be far behind. Indiana next?

Hey 'rats, "elections have consequences." While all the media were gibbering about Congress, the real American Revolution was being won in the statehouse elections, which added hundreds of republican lawmakers across the country. The people are beginning to reap the benefits of their common sense votes.

The teachers are doing something today in NY NY. Bloomberg wants to cut them. Just saw a lot of cops hanging around city hall about 2 hours ago.I wouldn’t mind if they got so wound up that they rioted. The people would say, this is what we have teaching our kids? They want more what?

What crap. This article is a perfect example of how the journalists color their "objective reporting" to promote an agenda.

This one did a particularly poor job of disguising their bias.

Funny, the Indiana Senate is not ever in session today. I think the unions picked today for their big rally without realizing there are no legislators in the house.

Anderson Indiana is even worse than Muncie with vacant industrial sites and multi-empty retail buildings. Very sad.

Time for Indiana to do what Wisconsin did. Ignore the d’Rats and “gitter done.” Done with compromise. They LOST and elections have consequences.
