I can't find the quote online from the Republican WI state senator, but he went off-message and admitted that suppressing the unions will hurt Obama financially in WI in 2012.

Obviously the people of Wisconsin are energized. I just hope it's a majority of the people and that they stay energized.

I think that they will. Recall efforts and court challenges are already being prepared - not to mention similar bills being considered in Ohio and Indiana - so this whole fiasco is going to remain in the public eye well into the 2012 election season. There's no sweeping this under the rug for Walker.

This is so great! I love MM! He is inspiring.
He was also on Rachel last night.

This is not about any budget crisis. It is about weakening Democrats politically.

Good to see politicians serving the people before the party.

Exactly kramwest, It seems a certain group of Rebublicans will do anything including crashing the economy again to keep Obama from being re-elected in 2012.
They are killing the Republican Party and the real party should rise up against these idiots. They don't care about anything but getting theirs and your's too.
Wisconsin is just one of a long line of destruction that will happen if they get away with this.

also the "Welcome to Wisconsin" sign is truly Brilliant!!

Over 200,000 protesting today at the capital in WI!

Susan Sarandon was there too! She was at a peace march in NYC in 06 I participated in, she is a long time liberal who shows up all the time! Love that about her.

Labour is a commodity. The services of which can be withdrawn at any time.

Michael Moore hinted that there were talks of a general strike coming soon to the U S of A. We shall see.

I'm only posting this link because I always look for a reason to use one of my favorite internet jokes:

THE LURKERS SUPPORT ME IN EMAIL!

Politics | Wis. governor releases e-mails about union rights | Seattle Times Newspaper

Yeah, 8,000 supportive emails vs ... how many protesters were there all told?

Gov. Scott Walker believes a new law that gives gay couples hospital visitation rights violates the state constitution and has asked a judge to allow the state to stop defending it.


Christ, what an asshole.

We have a few years to go, but we can hope that our next race for governor isn't another feable catfight between two douchebags. Last year was definitely lose/lose.
