He's obviously a plant.
I dunno....why is that guy in the very far left of the picture so white?And why are they so white?
He's obviously a plant.
it's obviously the official mission statement of all left-wingers. duh!
And why are they so white?
They spend all day indoors, out of sunlight, putting together lesson plans for the children of this great country. Their pale skin is their sacrifice, their...badge of honor.
Or, those women see their first penis.
So this so-called union busting and stripping of collective bargaining rights turned out to be just raising their pension contributions from 1% to 5.8% (just below national average) and increasing their health care contributions from 6% to 12% (less than half the national average)?
I can certainly understand the hysteria.
EDIT> Well, except for cops and firemen. <-- disclaimer for Dumpster's benefit
Well that is what the conditions are right now. But since they took away the CB rights (and I admit I know very little on this situation so please correct me if I am wrong) there is very little if anything they can do if it is decided that they should pay even more into this stuff?
Rest assured, you know more than Darrin on this issue.
This is the part where he disappears for a few hours and comes back with a non-sequitur picture or video he found on a blog.
He might post another picture with black people in it asking why everyone is white.
Whats going to happen is that there is going to be a load of recall elections and this thing will be repealed.
Probably.
It's so odd that the Republicans proved that collective bargaining works since the unions agreed to every concession asked of them.
Well, not recall elections. Just general election losses. It's not like this has been a wildly popular move, jack.
WI firefighters did a withdrawal run a Madison bank whose mgmt gave heavily to Walker, and the bank shut down.
"It's Their Money"
Oh there will be recall elections in WI. Guaranteed.
I doubt it. What we are seeing in Wisconsin is a very vocal MINORITY of the population. No matter how loud they yell it won't give them the votes they need.
Not sure where you're getting your info from but its wrong. Look at any public opinion polling before and after Walker started this. Look at how Walker was voted into office and who voted for him and compare it to what the views are now after this.
I'll find some links and post them in a bit, but there is absolutely nothing to go on that I've seen that shows anything but a lot of anger and resentment at what the GOP has done by a large majority of cons uents in that state.
Interesting bit.
$200,000 bucks won't do much to a bank with $40bn in deposits though.
What would be funny would be if the public employee pension fund managers decided to concentrate their investments in the company and gain control of it.
http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes...mocratic-base/The quality of polling on the Wisconsin dispute has not been terrific. But there’s a general consensus — including in some polls sponsored by conservative groups — that the Republican position was unpopular, probably about as unpopular as the Democrats’ position on health care. And the most unpopular part of their position — limiting collective bargaining rights — was the one that Republicans passed last night.
Nor is the bill likely to become any more popular given the cir stances under which it passed. Yes, there’s some hypocrisy in claims by Democrats that the Wisconsin Republicans used trickery to pass the bill — they did, after all, approve it with an elected majority, just as Democrats did on the Affordable Care Act. Nevertheless, polling suggested that Wisconsinites, by a two to one majority, expected a compromise on the bill, which this decidedly was not.
One question is how much this might hurt Republicans at the state level. As David Dayen notes, Democrats will have opportunities to fight back almost immediately, including in an April 5 election that could swing the balance of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as well as in efforts to recall Republican state senators. Essentially all of Wisconsin outside of the Madison and Milwaukee metropolitan areas is very evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, so there could be a multiplier on even relatively small shifts in turnout or public opinion.
This kind of naked, self-serving politics will do for the Democratic base what Obamacare did for tea-partiers. It is waving a red flag at a bull.

I think the most important factor to remember is that the groups in question are already some of the most organized political groups around and their going to get a lot of national support.
This was a stupid fight to pick by the GOP.
Well, its worse because this will be far easier to overturn than anything passed at the federal level.
in yoni's double standard universe, nuts only exist in the right, as a necessary variable to account for the imperfections in yoni's right wing utopia.
Y'all may be right. I just don't see it that way. I suspect the majority of voters/taxpayers looked at it and went..."damn!...I had no IDEA their benefits were that good! Mine aren't even CLOSE to that..."
What outrageous benefits.
