So democracy prevailed in Wisconsin? Yes, the fleebaggers and the union thugs lost. They did not like the results of the elections; therefore, they were being insurrectionist.

You go Jim Beam, you are right. People believe that the Unions are the bad guys. They are the ones who gave us the five day work week, overtime for working more than eight hours or on holidays, hour lunch breaks, 401 investing and other things we presently enjoy. I don't and have never worked for a union but citizens have a right to bargain for their working rights.

You watch, when everything is said and done, our wages will become stagnant, our jobs more difficult because of "productivity issues" by big business. We will be at the mercy of big business and who will represent the working class? Oh, seems like big business played it right by getting us to fight among ourselves and forget who created this mess.

I believe it was every movie ever written about Pearl Harbor where the guy said, and I'm paraphrasing here " All we've done is awaken a sleeping giant"

Yeah round one went to the Republicans but the fight is just beginning.

I'm not sure. We seem more inclined to act like Sheep and not learn from History on most things:

======================================================================

“On May 2nd, 1933, the day after Labor Day, Nazi groups occupied union halls and labor leaders were arrested. Trade Unions were outlawed by Adolf Hitler, while collective bargaining and the right to strike was abolished. This was the beginning of a consolidation of power by the fascist regime which systematically wiped out all opposition groups, starting with unions, liberals, socialists, and communists using Himmler’s state police.

Fast forward to America today, particularly Wisconsin. Governor Walker and the Republican/Tea Party members of the state legislature are attempting to pass a bill that would not only severely punish public unions (with exception for the police, fire, and state trooper unions that supported his campaign), but it would effectively end 50 years to the right of these workers to collectively bargain.”

74% of the people of Wisconsin agree with the PROTESTERS; I fail to see how democracy "prevailed".

You notice for democracy to prevail, the Democrats had to be removed from the situation.

Amen!!!

Even local communities will now have a chance to balance their over

drawn check books without raising taxes on what remains of us low class

non-government workers.

I agree. I doubt I will be so lucky though, with Jerry Brown as governor and the liberal democrats running the show.

I say get ready for longer work weeks, less benefits and no overtime pay.

Today it did.
