Hugh Conway Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Jay, do you take this to indicate that your side is winning? Â Jay's side is now, beyond reasonable doubt, that of the ideologue. They are the only ones winning right now. Â Â Amazing how Wisconsin has gone from boring state that nobody cared about to asshat extremist paradise in a month. That's sure to bring the jobs.

ZimZam Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 It's all cyclical. Hope you don't think they're going away. As an aside. The WI Senate majority leader is Fitzgerald, his brother is the Assembly leader. Guess whose Daddy was delivered the public safety director position? Â Conservative or Liberal. Politicians all look the same, stink the same, and steal the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 On the bright side, the republicans are doing a pretty good job framing themselves as anti-labor. This will only help the democrats in the next election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_b Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 I am not sure this is a good thing if they continue agreeing with the neanderthals about cutting wages, benefits and refusing bailouts for main street after they serviced the banksters.

Lucky Larry Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited)  This just looks like the case of the mistaken Tenant demanding radical rent controls , or the victim of yet another malicious landlord out to get him.  Jay B I always enjoy a good chuckle.  Choda, well, what more is there to say? sickie  Off W rates very astute observation.  Prole ?  Hugh C--Latter  Off W you forgot the BOTANICALS.  ZZ Top Honors  rob see ZZ  jb not sure about the connection between wages and no bailouts--seems like a lot of bailout came down from the man. The Feds (bankers, wall street, lawyers) print more $ for the bankers--win/win.  Skeezix A  Ivan voted least poplar :[]  Hugh C you finish last, but in 1st place.

tvashtarkatena Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 (edited) My reaction, although that such a spirit isn't the 'real JayB' seems suspect, considering his long time denigration of middle class union workers. Â "A whole bunch of folks are gonna loose their jobs, and I'm celebrating" fits solidly in the sociopath category in my book.

Â Think the empirical data supports a pretty substantial shift in the union demos since the advent of public sector unions, and in the midst of the massive decline in percentage of unionized private sector workers.
