Sadly, you're probably right, Wisconsinlady. This landslide victory will embolden the union thugs BIG TIME.
MSLSD's Ed Schultz is currently holding an on-camera celebration in Columbus, OH, surrounded by partying thugs holding union-printed signs of militant fists in the air. Disgusting.
WHERE are all the conservative voters in Ohio? :-(
Mostly in western Ohio, where I live. :)
Truth be told, lots of those conservatives belong to police anf fire unions (and the UAW, etc). The Ohio GOP overreached when they passed SB5, and made the fatal error of including police and fire unions in the reforms; had they been left out of the changes (like in Wisconsin), this referendum would never have made the ballot.
Ignore the Lefty gloating; these reforms will be back, probably early next year, and will be passed one-by-one, which will make them much harder to repeal. In the meantime, we prepare for battle (and they can look forward to layoffs).
The conservatives are sitting back scratching their heads wondering what the vote NO really meant. Like I said, dumber than a box of rocks.
Brownshirts, indeed, will be emboldened. I hope Walker has stocked up on the Lysol to clean out the capitol building after the pigs camp out there again.
First, I’ll do a column on this today, but stop blaming Ohio “conservatives.” This was not well sold-—should have had a massive PR campaign from the get go. Second, so what if they go back to WI? Good! These campaigns are costing the unions a fortune and I think this is precisely the way to break them. See my column later.
