I was at the capitol in Madison standing in solidarity - WTF happened here? I had no idea collective bargaining rights were at risk in ANY Democrat led state. Seriously, WTF?


I don't even know what to say or where to begin. I'm speechless.

1. hmmmmmm "democrat led"

Nice slur.

2. Who did I slur? The leadership and votes that stripped away Union rights? I should...

I should sympathize with fucking lowlifes over the UNION first? Seriously? Not a chance, I don't care what they label themselves as.

3. Oh Hell... I've Got SEVERAL Choice Words For Democrats If They Are Going Down This Path...

Are they TRYING to throw the 2012 Election???

:wtf:

8. No. Democrats that actively craft bills stripping union rights will get primary

opponents in 2012 and likely lose.

7. The Massachusetts House is overwhelmingly democratic. If the

House keeps going with the union collective bargaining stripping bill, three outcomes will follow. First, the Senate will fail to ratify the bill. Second, if the bill does manage to get pass the Senate, the Governor will most likely veto the bill. Third, every democratic House member and Senator will have at least one primary opponent. My wish is that democrats that are angry at union rights stripping House and Senate members throw their support behind ONE primary opponent for the democrat and not split the anti incumbent vote.

9. No, Deval Patrick will not veto this - he is FOR it and he is not running again. n/t

6. The House is pushing the union bargain stripping bill. The Senate and the Governor

are opposed. If the bill passes the House, many democratic legislators will find themselves with primary opponents that likely will end their political careers.
