I suppose until we sink far enough to understand at the gut level of why our ancestors took up arms against their government, this is the kind of shit we get.<br /><br />I'll admit it.

Maybe the fact that the unions and the Dems put up a hell of a fight, even though they lost, will mean that Walker & his little pals will think twice before engaging in any further shenanigans. <br /><br />I do think Repubs have the bully mentality, and giving them a bop in the snout (figuratively speaking), even though you lose the fight might mean they'll think twice next time about trying to run over you.<br /><br />I just hope the Dems and unions continue the fight against Walker with whatever other means they have at their disposal, and make the rest of his term a nice hard uphill slog. <br /><br />One thing which makes me laugh and pisses me off at the same time is that many people in Wisconsin apparently voted for Walker because they thought a recall is "uncivil," unless it's about removing a governor "for cause." <br /><br />Well, that certainly didn't bother the Repubs out here when they ginned up a recall against Gov. Davis, simply because they didn't like him--and stuck us with an action-movie actor (and we know how that worked out). Just a case of the old Repub double standard, I guess...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530739.post-84990772209171660522012-06-06T12:12:31.694-04:002012-06-06T12:12:31.694-04:00You can thank Citizens United and the Kochsuckers....You can thank <i>Citizens United</i> and the Kochsuckers. The Dems picked up a state senate seat so it'll be harder for Walker to shove through any more of his fascist shit. After he's indicted (from my lips to DOJ's ears, and they have plenty of them) that Kleefisch'll be goobernator and she's a dummy.<br /><br />The Marines lost at Wake Island too, but the fight was just beginning. No shame in a defeat as long as you fought as hard as you could. They made up for it. We will too.Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.com
