Dave_In_Norfolk Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Just from a political stand point, this is a not very wise move and judging by the build up of anti-Muslim hate speech I think the GOP realizes that. The drive to divide and impoverish the middle class rolls on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pBills Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Victory! Coming to a union near you soon (I hope). What has this proven? Republicans don't care about what the people in their state wanted / thought. They will do anything to get their way. Even rewriting laws. The Founding Fathers must be so proud. Freakin' scumbags. Side note: will Walker now bring those 1,500 teachers back to work? Ummm, no. Vote Republican asses out of office in 2012!!! A sad day for union thuggery. As compared to the abuse of power that was just shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 As compared to the abuse of power that was just shown. Do you consider this an abuse of power because it's targeting one group of people? Serious question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pBills Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I consider this to be an abuse of power because coming from the party that throughout the last election cycle said they will follow the will of the people just used a nuclear option in order to NOT discuss the bill. Going against the majority of people in their state. They just proved that this was NOT about fiscal issues it was about their want to union bust. Good luck Republicans, you just pissed off and gave even more motivation to a sleeping Labor Movement. Bunch of two faced liars. And by the way, 72% of Americans believe in the Labor Movement and Collective Bargaining. Oh wait, Republicans will wait for those Koch Brothers phone calls.

The anti-Islam stuff is an attempt to divert attention. But I don't think--short of a convient Operation Northwoods type of terror attack, it will fail.

pBills Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Oh so they should stay there so that Republicans could just push through this horrible Bill without their opinion? At least those 14 Democrats were listening to the will of the people, wanting true democracy... A chance for discussions, a chance to talk. Not given or offered by the Republicans.

OCinBuffalo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 What has this proven? Republicans don't care about what the people in their state wanted / thought. You mean those people who elected a Republican majority in both houses and a Republican governor? Those people? Or, some other people? To which people do you refer? They will do anything to get their way. Even rewriting laws. The Founding Fathers must be so proud. Freakin' scumbags. Based on what history? Sorry, casting a vote and debating is a lot more in line with doing what the Founding fathers wanted...than hiding out in another state. (The only hiding they did was from British soldiers, go ahead and compare that to this... ) Also, how is hiding out not an example of "doing anything to get your way". Only an unmitigated moron draws your conclusions. But, we already established that in the other thread, didn't we? Side note: will Walker now bring those 1,500 teachers back to work? Ummm, no. Vote Republican asses out of office in 2012!!! Why is it Walker's fault for acting on the agenda he was elected to implement? Elections have consequences, and so does the abusing and corruption of the political process. You are pissed that finally, somebody punched back, and we all know the pain from this has just begun. Be honest: that's what this is about. You couldn't care less about those teachers. Somebody finally punched the bully in the mouth, and now you are telling us we should feel sorry for the bully? Spare us. Also, I shed no tears for those 1,500 sets of union dues that will no longer be piped to politicians who will gladly trade it for votes. As compared to the abuse of power that was just shown. The abuse of power was exactly = the abuse of the office by the Democrats who are hiding. Something had to give. You lost. Deal with it.

OCinBuffalo Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 You mean like the Dems did with ObamaCare? The difference is: nobody is questioning Obama's right to act on his electoral mandate. The fact that he massively overestimated that mandate aside, he has had every right to enact a liberal agenda. The fact that the state elected a Republican sweep, massively, means they want an end to the union overbearing interference in the affairs of their state. That's what the people wanted. The difference is: less than 40% of people wanted Obamacare, and that number has fluctuated from 35-38%, and no higher, since before it was passed. It's not going anywhere, and it's an albatross around Obama's neck for 2012. End of story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
