Republican strategist Karl Rove praised Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Monday evening for pushing his plan to sharply limit collective bargaining for public employees.

"Your governor did an extraordinarily courageous thing by standing up," Rove told hundreds of cheering attendees at his address in the Wisconsin Room at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Student Union.

Proposals similar to Walker's, which is the subject of a court battle in Dane County, already have gained traction in other states, Rove said.

"Every state's facing the same issue," he said.

For decades municipalities and school districts across the country have "basically bought the peace" when they couldn't offer pay raises by increasing benefits that won't have to be paid for until long after local officials have left office, he said.

"We either have reform or we have systems that go bankrupt," Rove said.

Naturally, raising taxes on the billionaires who fund Rove's anti-democracy groups didn't have a place in the conversation.

people distracted from the real facts.....
