Will Unions Wake Up to Fox/Limbaugh, etc. Because of Wisconsin? |
|
Those unions that are mostly blue collar have had a hard time in the past getting their members to vote Dem (even if the union endorsed Dems). Too many of their people were of the "Guns, God, Gays, Abortion", etc. crowd (admitted by a labor union leader in WI a few days ago--said they were quite "conservative"). A lot of them make up the audience of Limbaugh and other garbage and Fox. Obviously, "Wisconsin" spread like wildfire from teachers to all the public sector and private sector unions because they know there is a kill warrant out for all organized labor. Fox, Limbaugh and all those bottom feeders have said horrid, hateful things about union people these weeks (one fuckhead on Fox talked about how firefighters just mainly sit on their asses all day, etc.). That has to make these guys almost go violent!!! I was wondering if this, finally, has been a wake up call to so many of those who have sucked this crap down for years---will the word get around throughout the unions and turn a significant share of their audience against them? I hope they have finally overstepped in their vile spew.

the vote stats were examined and it was more of the "Young Voters" who stayed home that made the 125,000 Walker won by
So NO - union members did not stay home or vote for Walker
