I never actually hated Republicans. I have always accepted that they were only people with ideologies that I disagree with...... I hate them now. This is not about the budget issues... they want to bust the Unions for their overlords that fund their political legitimacy... the corporate bosses.

It is a sad time for workers in Wisconsin... next up?

We all knew it would happen. My hope is that it becomes a Pyrrhic victory that undoes the Republican party next year.

Unfortunately I see them convincing people that what they did was heroic in some way. FUCK. THE. REPUBLICAN. PARTY.

This will probably end plunging a deeper hole in the budget...

They are trying to move the "elite" title from the rich to people who gather together to protect each other from the greed of the uber rich.

They claim teachers and public workers in Wisconsin are part of "the elite"

When I think of "elit", I think of private jets, flying fresh lobster from Maine for lunch, and buying off several congressmen while kicking it in the Bahamas.

But apparently "elite" is that clerk at the DMV.

I had absolutely nothing to do with this charade. At best I could have done something illegal, but I didn't. Or at least I A: don't remember doing it or B: did it in an entirely unrelated topic.

Not to say that both haven't occurred Tongue
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

No one said the majority of Americans are smart... we are sheep like the rest of the world.

I am not old enough to vote but if I was I would only vote for someone with no outside interests with corporations. Lobbying has no place in a successful democracy.

I completely agree. The government has no right to destroy a PB4P organization! Especially since the majority of the population did not want it!
