Wisconsin: Early Democratic Results

[hillneck]

A funny thing that I noticed:  A sane person invests money in hopes for a good return or one that at least breaks even.  These union assclowns blew 10 million on one candidate out of four, what do you think they were expecting in return?  I know most of us here are sharp enough to make the connection that the unions want more union drones lining the union boss's pockets to keep electing corrupt officials, but I wonder if the above quoted DUmbass knows what he/she/it has just admitted - that it really is not for the "rights" of the workers, it's for more dues money to throw at democrat politicians.

I think most of them are blind to the fact that the unions don't really give a flying f**k about them.

Yeah, my point was more rhetorical than inquisitive.

Poor DUmp Monkeys! Kinda brings a tear to yer eye, don't it? NOT

I find it amazing that the taxpayers are payin' for these cushy government union jobs and they make more money than those footin' the bill. If the people of WI don't see that, they deserve what they get!

Yeah, I was just trying to help out any DUmmie lurkers.  I'm not sure if they understand the whole rhetorical thing.

Only 4 weeks until the DUmp implodes when Scott Walker remains in his job. 

I've been getting ready to party that day.

What has been ignored by the DUmmies about this story thus far? If a "million +" people wanted the recall how come only 60% of those people showed up?

I see two reasons why:
1. The recall petitions were rife with fraud and the number of valid signatures was much lower than a million.
or
2. The early petition signers realized that Walker's reforms are working or are not as bad as the Blue Fisters said they were.

Reason 1 is the correct conclusion. Dems are dishonest scumbags by their very nature or they wouldn't be Dems. I doubt you could find any election or signature drive that Dems DID NOT load up with fraud. This applies nationwide.

Their enthusiasm may cool a little bit since the unions' hand-picked surrogate lost in the primary.

The union's long-time grip on taxpayer's wallets is finally being wrestled back into their rightful owners hands.

As one could easily predict, if you give an employee the freedom to not be forced into a union and having to pay dues, they'll choose to be free. And that's exactly whats happening. The results of the primary show the union's influence on it's members has faded. They're quickly becoming irrelevant.

Instead of signing petitions and recalling the Gov, these thankless public employees should praising him.

Its time the organized criminal racket of unions be stopped. If king for a day I would completely remove any and all abilities of government workers to unionize. No collective bargaining rights at all for the public sector. Its a conflict of interest that even the tyrant FDR couldn't stomach.

As for private unions... they can still operate, but there will be no more forcing membership, or extracting dues from anyone that does not want to join. Any intimidation will be dealt with under RICO, and I would enforce it fully. I would have no problem throwing these jerks in jail if they threaten, harass, or intimate anyone that refuses to cave in to union demands. Membership must be purely voluntary.

Gloom, despair and agony on me...

Rasmussen has released the first post-primary poll of the recall election in Wisconsin, and it looks like Scott Walker, not Democrat Tom Barrett, got the coveted post-primary bounce:

Embattled Republican Governor Scott Walker holds a five-point lead over his newly nominated Democratic challenger Tom Barrett in Wisconsin’s special recall election.

A new Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey shows that 50% of the state’s Likely Voters prefer Walker while 45% choose Barrett. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate and another two percent (2%) are undecided.

So you think a lot of Republicans might've just stayed home?

A lot of Republicans probably thought that it was only a democrat primary.  My boss didn't go vote, for that reason.  I voted for Walker and the fake Lt. Governor.  I was so relieved to see Walker stomp the fake Republican--my fear was that Republicans wouldn't show up and democrats would vote for the Republican faker.  But my fears were quickly put to rest.  I live in central Wisconsin and there are Support Governor Walker signs everywhere!  Very few Recall Walker signs.

Sucks to be a DUmmie today, huh?

Must suck to be a DUmmy any day period. :D
