"According to analysts, the mine would have brought with it well over 500 jobs and eventually more than 2,000 — not including other jobs in manufacturing and services from Milwaukee in the southeast to small towns in the region in the north. The investment would have injected at least $1.5 billion into the local economy, too."

Democrats being Democrats.

and many of those jobs would be going to hardscrabble towns in the north, where currently a part-time gig at Dollar General is considered a pretty good job.

Nothing, NOTHING, matters to Democrats except defeating Walker in the recall election, and using it as propaganda momentum to propel Obama in to reelection.

If you monitor Daily Kos, the whackos are VERY CLEAR about what this means, and the more misery they can create in Wisconsin between now and then, the better.

The Democrat allies in the media are willingly playing along with this meme, too.

Liberals are all it takes to destroy a community. I live in the ugly cyst of Dane County where we have been occupied for 30 years by commies and leaches. Don’t let it metastasize!

Wisconsin Democrats are DEATHLY AFRAID of Scott Walker’s surging economy. They can’t have that!

You can’t build a Socialist state if jobs are being created.

There are several examples of very upset private union leaders speaking out very strongly against this action by the public union-controlled Legislature down in Madistan.

Underlying the main story, is the realization of of future reality in Wisconsin. After every contentious partisan vote, there will be an effort to recall someone.

This is the Democrats contribution to “civil” political discourse.

....every Democrat and one Republican in the Wisconsin Senate voted to kill a regulatory reform bill that would have brought thousands of desperately needed mining jobs to the state,

But....but....but.....democrats are for the working man.....

If this is only on the New American it won’t make a difference. If all WI media outlets are reporting the story then the Dems will regret their behavior.

The Liberals, and the RINO, in voting down the mine also upset the union as the mine would have been a union mine. The only reason they voted against the mine is that they could not have a job-creating, successful enterprise start up in Wisconsin while Gov. Walker was in office as it would be a feather in his cap. They rejected the mine, gambling that Walker would be recalled in June, a Liberal Democrat governor would be seated, and then they would vote in favor of the mine to show the new governor was a job-creator. To their surprise, when they voted no and the mine company immedately announed, “see ya later, we’re done here,” the Liberals were stunned by that reaction and are now treading water.

The GOP establishment always makes sure there is at least one vote, or however many is needed, to lose.
