Video Reveals Scott Walker's 'Divide And Conquer' Strategy

Then you should be sure to go vote...shouldn't you...

And I think you'll find that it's the County Government that calls for school funding increases, (like JeffCo is about to do), or the State Dept of Education, if it's state-wide...not the NEA...

Are you REALLY that dumb?

Sorry, my bad... Silly question...

The teacher's unions have massive pull all over the country. They have a lot of influence on elections. If you don't believe they do, you deceive yourself.

He told me we could discuss after work, and he and another union "gentlemen" met me in the parking lot as requested. I was told I could do that, but it would "really be unfortunate" for me to do so. Having seen some of the tactics used by the union during a strike, I decided it wasn't worth my health, my family health, or my belongings to rock the boat. I continued to stay on.

Being able to opt out is a fairy tale. Yeah, you can do it, but the thugs in the union will make sure if you do, you save no $$.

What Renegade is saying is exactly right and there is a whole lot more. I heard this same thing from a Union guy I used to work with. He eventually left and became an independent contractor. (Painting and sheet rock). Yes those thugs will get their dues.

Not so close anymore...

A new poll from We Ask America of over 1200 likely voters puts Walker on top by nine, 52/43:

And it looks like the DNC is not trying to help out much...

“We are frustrated by the lack of support from the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Governors Association,” a top Wisconsin Democratic Party official tells me. “Scott Walker has the full support and backing of the Republican Party and all its tentacles. We are not getting similar support.”

“Considering that Scott Walker has already spent $30 million and we’re even in the polls, this is a winnable race,” the Wisconsin Dem continues. “We can get outspent two to one or five to one. We can’t get spent 20 to one.”

According to the Wisconsin Dem, the party has asked the DNC for $500,000 to help with its massive field operation. While the DNC has made generally supportive noises, the money has not been forthcoming, the official says — with less than a month until the June 5th recall election. The DNC did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It looks like people realize that Walker is good for Wisconsin... Walker good... Dems bad.

And a little coda to all this...

What makes this all the more galling to Wisconsin Dems is that a Walker win could be bad for the national party’s prospects in November.

“Scott Walker has made this a national election,” the Wisconsin Dem tells me. “If he wins, he will turn his victory into a national referendum on his ideas about the middle class. It will hurt Democrats nationally. The fact that [national Dems] are sitting on their hands now is so frustrating. The whole ticket stands to lose.”[/i]

Doesn't look good for the Dems. Go Walker. :woo hoo:

:thumbsup:

Hopefully we see more of the same in other states. California is our Greece, let's learn something from it and put in people who will keep their state from hopping in the crapper.
