"They're a lot of republicans here. Correction officers and Policemen" Then they got what they

[LeftyAndProud60]

deserved. Bet they regret that vote now. LMAO.


Some guy on hardball just described the crowd of protesters in Wis

[Jackpine Radical]

1. Those guys are children of the working class.

Time to welcome them home to their roots. The scales are falling from a lot of eyes in this state right now.

[flpoljunkie]

2. What will it finally take for voters to figure out who Republicans are and what they stand for?

You have to wonder.

[tabatha]

3. Thsi is one of the reasons that it is a good idea for Obama to stay out.

It does not become a Democratic thing - but rather an anti-Republican thing.

[Andy823]

5. +1,000,000

I totally agree. This has to be a real grass roots uprising, from the people! The right has already tried to put the president into this mess by saying he is doing what "HIS UNION BOSS WANT" him to do. By staying out of it they won't be able to make that stick. The people of Wisconsin are doing a great job, let them finish the job by taking down those who are trying to take away their state!

10. Still, I can't help thinking that Walker created thousands of new Democrats

last night.

But ultimately they're not Democrats or Republicans--they're workers and union members who are under attack.

[young but wise]

18. Exactly.

Anyone who can't understand this is just clueless.

[damntexdem]

6. No, the issue should be: are they no longer going to be Republicans?

Will they follow up their protest with votes to recall the GOP scum and then support Dems in future elections?

In short, will they act so as to no longer get what they no longer deserve?

[bigdarryl]

7. thats true out hear in NJ I am a just retired State Correction Officer and most of

the guys I worked with were republicans and voted for Christy

[rzemanfl]

8. I bet it was easier on the job being bigdarryl than if you were

littledarryl. No?

[bigdarryl]

9. WHAT!!!

[Avant Guardian]

11. But it sounded really good on paper!!

There will be a lot more of this as republicans run amok and pull more stunts like this one.

[27inCali]

12. this is exactly the reason why it's smarter for O to stay clear

Republican rank and file are pissed at their own party right now -and at the tea-baggers in office. We need to give this time to sink into their brains and stew for a while.

If Obama showed up and tied his image to the protester's side, it would turn these folks off.

[hollowdweller]

13. In one way the Tea Party is helping us

Republicans in the past hid their tax cuts for the rich by deficit spending. By insisting on no deficits they are forcing the GOP to cut programs, salaries and to hurt people.

Really for once in our lifetimes people's houses are getting bombed in the class war. The battle has come so close to their homes it is waking them up.

[hay rick]

14. Good point.

Tax cuts without consequences are a no-brainer, but when they turn into laid off teachers and cops, poor people kicked off Medicare, etc. it's a whole different story.

[jeanpalmer]

15. Represents a golden opportunity for Democrats

Unequivocally take the side of labor and unions. Explain to the people what the alternative is -- working for $2 an hour. That's where we're headed. But we don't have leaders like that. So we're screwed. Obama is cowering in the WH, holding a conference on bullying and intimidation, and worrying about his reelection. LOL.

[hatrack]

16. Well, they finally figured who's been pissing in their faces for 30 years ...

Congratulations. More coffee?

[DavidDvorkin]

17. The problem is that other voters, who don't deserve it, get it too.

[Cali_Democrat]

19. Well now other voters who didn't vote for the GOP scum are also getting it

This is no laughing matter.
