“We didn’t pick this fight. We didn’t start this fight,” USAction President William McNary said.

And you are not going to finish it either.

Too late dumb a**es, the bill passed, Prosser was re-elected, despite the best efforts(and money) of the Union thugs. You lost, get over it.

Ya gotta laugh. The rent as mob party doesn’t even know which state they are supposed to be demonstrating in.

“But if it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you are going to get.”

Kill all the taxpaying non-union citizens! Oh, wait...

In Illinois, there is absolutely NO DANGER of Wisconsin-type legislation. Because even the Republicans are co-opted by the Machine.

Last year, they came within a handful of votes of instituting a voucher system for low-income students (like Milwaukee & Cleveland have had for a few years). A coalition was cobbled together of minorities (Black & Latino) and conservative Republicans. It was kneecapped at the last minute by RINOs, who were bought out by the unions.

It is no mystery why these Great Lakes states are depopulating themselves, one census count after another. High taxes to fund public “servants” who earn far more than we taxpayers do. I left. Private sector jobs move out. It won’t be long until the whole Great Lakes area resembles Detroit.

Two classes of people. Public employee unions and welfare recipients. And no productive people to pay taxes to fund either thing.

I miss the midwest, so many things about it.

But I’m glad I left, too.

It'a amazing to me that in light of what is going on in Europe these folks can remain so blind.

In a couple years when the govs. of Wisc. and Ill. are both up for re-election Wisc. will be fiscally sound and healthy and Ill. will be, well, ill.

At that point perhapa a light will dawn.

Looks like a fat, squatting one-eyed vulture deciding which morsel to eat first.

Now that’s a perfect symbol for Chicago, don’t you think?

Meanwhile, Ohio has also passed anti-collective-bargaining provisions for public employees (Senate Bill 5)

First step is to reduce union revenues from public employees. Next step should be full Right to Work in both Ohio and Wisconsin, plus Michigan passing something similar to Ohio's SB5.

The Dems are primarily financed by union money. Eliminate union money and the Dems are toast for 2012.

Oh, hell. If this kind of across-the-cheese-curtain sympathy continues, they’re gonna KILL the Packers/Bears rivalry.
