So what. Should polls only be conducted using non-union people? I always thought polls were done at random, not knowing who was who or where they worked.nnDaniel .. Toronto, Canada

Is this really America? Is this what our founding fathers fought and died for?nn

David, you ignorant slut, no one is trying to do away with unions in the private-sector. If they can survive and thrive in the private-sector then more power to them. The same is not true in the public-sector. Let’s review and see if you can follow along.nnPublic-sector union members are paid from taxpayer “revenues.” Dues are collected from union members and those dues are then sent to Democrat candidates for office in the form of campaign contributions. Union-friendly candidates who get elected then sit across from the union representatives at the bargaining table and give away more taxpayer “revenues” in the form of higher compensation, lucrative pensions, and unaffordable healthcare plans. We the taxpayers are footing the bill for this vicious circle. The referendum on this issue has already occurred – it was called the 2010 midterm election and “Progressives” famously got “shellacked.” Public-sector “employers” (taxpayers) are not willing to support the outrageous demands of public-sector unions any longer. End of story.

And we worry about foreign terrorists? LOL – all we need to do is call our own reps to get all the info we would need to do very bad things. We know who will be where and when – what more is there? Good thing I am not a terrorist of any kind! Just a very worried person.

He is a vicious, foul, anti- everything piece of dung. His article about US servicemen in 2008 shows his true colors. I will be most happy to meet with the little scumbag and discuss his morals and perhaps give him a tune-up. nnThe man, and I use the term loosely, is a user and has never done anything but take all of his life. Very clever and devious but a rat is a rat nby any other description.

I am hoping to meet him sometime. I relish the thought of having a dialog with the little scumbag. His rantings about our men and women in uniform qualify him as a merchant of hate. He is NOT a hero. If the members of any union claim him as their hero, shame on them. They should realize this dolt is anti-everything but Ian Murphy.

What they are refusing to do is give up their collective bargaining RIGHTS. Which is the only thing that holds this Country together for the middle class. Also note that this Governor is not going after ALL Public Workers. Notice how he leaves the Police and Fire Dept out of the Bill he’s trying to pass. I wonder why nobody has talked about that? If your going to CUT all Public Workers then by all means CUT all Public Workers. He can’t just pick and choose. But he’s afraid and will go after the weakest first then come back in for the kill if he succeeds. Why is it that when times get bad Government goes after EDUCATION. I say let them all have their way, cut education, public health, public housing, all social services for that matter and WATCH what happens to the most “POWERFUL NATION”. There maybe 10% of this country who are so wealthy that they don’t know what to do with themselves or their money. BUT there are 90% of us who will fight tooth and nail to hold onto our RIGHTS as HUMANS. People are so quick to criticizes others until it HAPPENS TO THEM.nUnion wages and rights raised me in the 60’s and 70’s and now raise my children and my grandchildren. What’s wrong with THAT????

Nothing is sacred in a plutocracy. America not forget that 100-years-ago there was a “special group” of wealthy elites who were called Robber Barrons, and they as plutocracy. At the time, workers live on $2 a day woking 60/hrs-wks which included children; we ate unsafe food; and drank unsafe water.nnHere is the Republican’s Strategy for Restoring SERFDOM in America!nPhase 1: Create Divisiveness – passing Bush’s Patriot Act & culturally bias legislationnPhase 2: Create Choas – passing financial deregulationsnPhase 3: Crush working-class empowerment – Union BustingnPhase 4: Elimnate the safety nets – end social security and medicare entitlements

I agree with you, Splets. This prank call to Wisconsin is evidence that the philosophy of Ayn Rand is the credo of the Republican Party. The Wisconsin Govenor was so eager to do the biddng of the wealthy elite, David Koch, just as in some Ayn Rand novel; apparently, politicans like Gov. Walker see themself as overlords of the working-class. Govenor Walker actually thinks that he’s going to enable the next big transfer of power because as he said to the fake David Koch, “it’s the right thing to do”.nnKoch brothers aside, the Bilderberg Group for decades meet annually to manipulate the world in their favor. For centuries there have been “special groups” of wealthy elite conspiring to create a “new world order” that gives them complete power while leaving the rest of the population with no voice or human-rights. Nothing is sacred in a plutocracy, and governments are invalid as long as there are those with unlimited wealth who can purchase the right to rule over everything with no accountability or responsability.

If this tape is real and not a fraud perpetrated by someone who opposes what Gov Walker is doing I’d expect to hear about this somewhere in the media, with the talk being directed towards how to indict him for high crimes and misdemeanors and have him removed from office.

I am unable to give a cogent response to your comment, since I can find no continuity between it and what I wrote other than we both have a proclivity for using upper case to make a point. I think we both need to stick to content and lay off the dramatics. I appreciate that you read my thoughts and suggest you now spend your time on Walkercare or better yet, Walkerepair. You will be busy. Perhaps some talcum powder would help cover your red state.
