Republicans in the Wisconsin Assembly took the first significant action on their plan to strip collective bargaining rights from most public workers, abruptly passing the measure early Friday morning before sleep-deprived Democrats realized what was happening.

Every one of them looks to be at least two ax handles wide...

I wouldn’t say I drown kittens for fun, but if you don’t kill them while their young...they’ll grow into cats.

Isn't the WI Senate setting votes on Voter ID and some other non-budget legislation that doesn't require a 20-member quorum? That, more than anything else, should get the dems back in town. The dems despise verifiable voting eligibility.

You are correct, sir.

I dunno.... the one in the lower-right corner is not altogether unattractive.

But she’s clearly dumber than mud, judging by who she chooses to associate with.

I love kittens. I just can’t eat a whole one by myself. :)

VOTER ID requires a financial component ~ to pay for IDs for the indigent.

Look immediately to her right (your left). That ol'gal there shows up in all sorts of photos and she wears a variety of T-shirts ~ sometimes she's SEIU and other times she's teachers union, then sometimes some other union.

You can find her on on news videos involved in face downs with TEA Party types, etc.

She's a professional demonstrator and quite beefy.

Saw the video. The democrats have been reduced from a political party to rebellious mob of sixties hippie protester wanna be's, that make absolute infantile jackasses of themselves, that are quickly turning our country into Northern Mexico.

They aren’t being kicked. They were given the rules, and decided to act like children...uncivil. They thought that the Republicans were bluffing.

The Democrats were given time. Read the article again. The debate went on for 60 hours. Dems are sore losers. Shame on them, not the Republicans.

“earlier Friday morning Majority Leader Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford, warned Democrats that they had been given 59 hours to be heard and Republicans were ready to vote.”

THE REAL DEAL!

I bet if we looked around we could find her mug in thousands of demonstration shots all over the country.

It's not too clear that she's actually female.

It would be interesting to utilize some facial recognition software to match up faces from various demonstrations and then out the thugs.

Unions didn’t lose all their rights. I hate that this keeps getting spread around. They can still negotiate for wages below the cap.

. . . as the dem rats screamed "shame, shame, shame, shame."

Well, knock me over with a feather. I never would have guessed they knew the meaning of the word.

She’s Coyote Ugly. Her first and only date doesn’t have an arm, after he chewed it off. He woke up the next morning with her asleep on his arm.

It certainly would be interesting. The Secret Service undoubtedly does this sort of thing, but wonder if Wisconsin would like to do it ~ just to be on the safe side.

Outing a number of the people in this particular shot as ILLEGAL ALIENS from MEXICO might be remarkably easy ~ just for starts.

We know Democrats bus people in to demonstrate, but to bus them in from maybe Mexico City could be considered extreme.
