Well, I’m sure Palin also had something to do with it...
“The Progressive, a liberal website in Wisconsin, reported this week that a Wisconsin teacher committed suicide because of Governor Scott Walker’s union bill.”
Sounds like a lot of mentally unstable union members.
Do we have to say it out loud? Perhaps we do. I will say it here.
Anybody who is so distraught at paying 12% instead of 6% in their insurance premiums, has much deeper emotional/mental/psychological problems than the rate increase in premium payments.
To say that this minor change in her life made her suicidal is dishonest and lying on the part of liberals.
I would bet anything that she had some pre-existing mental problems to have a premium increase trigger her into suicide.
Any liberals care to discuss further, let’s have at it.
Something is not right with the story. She killed herself over a 6% increase???
She was obviously mentally ill. This ‘teacher’ wanted to be a martyr for the cause perhaps?
The ME uprising began with a street vendor setting himself ablaze when government officials took away his cart.
No similarity, IMHO.
And she was teaching those kids.
Give me a break! Sounds like she had some psychological problems to me. (Unions will do that to you.) Leave it to the commie libs to exploit one of there idiot’s actions even if it is committing suicide.
At least that’s one bloated pension the WI taxpayers aren’t going to have to furnish.
Wow. Paying a few dollars more a month on health insurance always causes people to kill themselves.
lol.
Seriously, this person must have a lot of other problems bigger than that.
The libs are always looking for someone else to blame, never accept the fact that it might actually be THEM who are the source of the problem or tragedy. Maybe she was just an unstable, very depressed person? You can bet that if she did have a significant mental illness history or previous suicide attempts, that that will all be swept under the rug.Never let the facts get in the way of a good conservative bashing article.
Nah, that couldn’t have been it, it has to be the doings of those evil, America hating conservatives.

It doesn't say what she was paying and how much more she would be paying. The article said the norm is 25% across the US. Obviously she wasn't a math major.

BUT its quickly leaking out.. thru vast holes..
The stink is getting ripe..
Kick it up to 30% and let’s see if it’s true......
Liberal indoctrination - no more no less. This is why we say, liberalism is a mental disorder.
Such bullshit - 6% increase? Ours went up over 20% in January - considering that was almost $200 a month, I doubt her 6% was a huge amount, and certainly not enough to commit suicide over
Watch Demonrat pols and Jesse Jackson show up at the funeral and turn it into a Wellstone rally.
Maybe then all the other teachers didn’t commit suicide because of Governor Scott Walker’s union bill.
