No, the PEOPLE lose. The GOP finally revealed themselves. They got away with this by splitting the bill. In Wisconsin, any vote on state finances – actual money, in other words, and the actual budget – must have a quorum. So they dropped all the budget fixes, which they claim are the reason for the union negotiations, and just left the bill to eliminate collective bargaining. Yep, it’s not about balancing the budget, especially since the union had already agreed to reducing costs – it’s about union-busting. They are slavishly obeying their corporate masters.
Rats, not mice.
Um, Bruce, have you really checked out the “physical attacks” as proclaimed by FoxNews? One was an accidental nudge. Haven’t seen a lot of physical attacks. And you haven’t said a thing to counter my point.
As for you, Gladius, the Democrats are respecting the will of the people who elected them. That’s called a moral stand. If you don’t like it, TOUGH. And the Governor, by the way, did NOT run on this stand. A recall effort is already under way. It will be interesting to see what happens…

The people WON. The Deomocrats have been violating the will of the people. If you don’t like it, TOUGH.

If the recall goes well with Walker maybe we can recall Rick Scott, too.
