GOP's shenanigans in Wisconsin ensure the fight will only escalate

Wisconsin can only do shenanigans on a minor scale...
The US Congress has already established the technique on a monumental scale.

Thank you, Harry Reid.
Thank you, Nancy Pelosi.

Thank you Obamabots, all.

For showing everyone the technique of unconstitutionally screwing the country with impunity.
Wisconsin is the minor leagues, but perhaps more important.

Thank you.
Thank you.

And thank you, Republicans, for finally figuring out that "staying above it all" is the certain road to defeat and extinction.

We still need fewer RINOS and more street fighters.

It's a political jungle out there, not of our making. But win we must by adopting the coin they have validated.

Hear them scream..... !
Reap what you've sown, idiots!

Those damned violent GOP thugs? BOSMKL!

TO: Comrade Greg Sergeant. FM: V. Lenin

I have read your latest propaganda piece and heartily approve. Continue to keep the workers and the masses agitated. Truth is not our objective. The total domination of America is.

I remain in solidarity with you in our great cause.

Uh ... Greg, would this be anything like the DemoncRAT shenanigans that San Fran Nan pulled off by 'DEEMING' that ObamaDeathCare was passed by the House when no vote occurred?

How about that Greg?

((((( crickets )))))

I haven’t read the bill that passed, but will teachers union dues be voluntary and not mandatory? That should take a lot of wind out of the union sails.

[Interesting Times]

...they had repeated opportunities to resolve this standoff and plausibly declare victory for themselves

The DNC Media is used to Republicans caving in and declaring victory, a technique that the old guard raised to an art form. This new approach of actually fighting to win is most upsetting.

Reads like a threat to me - guarantee you the leftists are already shifting gears and hunting for judges who will issue rulings to try and nullify the legislation.

Time for the GOP to “go to the mattresses.”

Obama is talking about bullying today at the White House. His union buddies are showing us what real bullies do. If a Tea Partier puts one finger on a Liberal, the lamestream media calls it “violence”. Hypocrites, all of them. Especially Obama.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall today when Trumpka has his daily visit at the White House.

RE :”There's no quibbling with the fact that if it does stand, Walker and Republicans will have gotten their way in the short term fight. But let's recall an important fact: Republicans control the governorship and state legislature. The fact that they were forced to resort to this trick is itself a concession that they had lost the battle as they themselves had previously defined it. And in so doing, they were forced to pull a maneuver that will only lend even more energy to the drive to recall them. “

Wow, this guy is great one for Republicans to go to for political advice.

Looking at his archives I dont see him saying something similar when Obama-care was rammed through with budget reconciliation.

the democrats have caused this entire mess by fleebagging it out of the state.

This debate was already won at the ballot box - November 2010. We kicked the democrats’ asses out of power - in the Governor’s office, in the Assembly, in the Senate, and out of 2 US House Rep seats and a US senate seat.

All the dems convincing themselves this will be solved by the ballot box, you are late to the game. It ALREADY WAS dealt with at the ballot box. The solution IS ALREADY BEING IMPLEMENTED. You are opposing what happened at the ballot box and you are opposing the solution most Wisconsinites want.

GOP SHENANIGANS???????

Who the hell skipped town without doing their state paid job?????? huh??????

IDIOTS! All of them!

AND GOOD FOR THEM, BRAINLESS!!! Labor unions in this country have done little other than create the most corrupt bunch of government bureaucratic thugs that could be imagined, the Congressional bunch as included. They have run industry out of this country in a stampede in an effort to remain competitive on a world scale, and the result is that there are now new jobs except government bureaucratic jobs and thugs to fill them and thugs to promote the unions. The unionists and their spoiled-rotten families need to get warm and cozy with what the working stiffs out here have to live with day by day. THE PLAYING FIELD AIN’T LEVEL FOR US AND IT SHOULD’NT BE FOR THEM, EITHER. You’re either with them or against them. Choose a side; just choose the RIGHT ONE loser, ‘cause you won’t get a second chance.

[Ohioan]

Let me make one suggestion, a tactical one. The Republicans need to adopt tactics that in responding to the attempts at outright intimidation, they start to divide the opposition. This can easily be accomplished with a little finesse.

While the Democratically controlled unions seek to suggest a "United Front," the different locals in almost any State will reflect a considerable variation in actual rank & file opinions. The so-called "Reagan Democrats," who provided the margin for victory, came mostly from blue collar labor. Regardless of what the parent union leadership may claim, they have never been able to hold the ideological loyalty of many of their local members, when those members are properly approached.

My thought is that the vulnerability of the demonstrators lies in the antics of the teachers' union. The NEA agenda is not an agenda typical of most of the rank & file of the other unions, in the Madison demonstrations. Address the anti-American, anti-family antics of the NEA, and you might just collapse the whole gambit. (Of course, it needs to be done with finesse, not anti-union rhetoric. The specific misuse of its position by the NEA, not that it is a union, must be the focus.)

[SuziQ]

GOP's shenanigans? Last I heard, it was the state's DEMOCRAT Senators who had high-tailed it out of Madison, and were holed up across the state line. The GOP Senators are the ones who are IN TOWN and doing their jobs.

Typical compost.

Shut the F*** up, Communist (directed at article author). I no longer want to hear from you bomb-threat, death-threat thugs and destroyers of property and rule of law.

Communists are my mortal enemy. Let the civil war begin.
