Ways unions ruin my life: Leeching my taxpayer dollars away by electing politicians who will get on their knees and give them everything they want and more in exchange for their vote. Creating unsustainable benefit and salary structures that bankrupt states and cause politicians to do even more irrational things.

Why does not President Obama speak out directly about what's going on in Wisconsin? I thought for sure that he might try and help rally union/ dem supporters there. It almost seems like it is either an unpopular topic that could polarize voters on a national level, or President Obama is afraid to risk being associated with a losing campaign. Really intriguing.

public education? watch waiting for "superman". you will realize teachers union is the one of the main reasons why the public school system is garbage in america.

Obama knows walker will win tomorrow, so do all these pro union hacks posting threads. Thats why today their agenda is trying to tell us how great unions are instead of bashing romney. Looks like mitt gets the day off.

I cant wait to watch ed shultz tonight, he'll probably do his show wearing a hard hat and a toolbelt.

[High3rEl3m3nt]

If, and it looks promising, Walker wins tomorrow, it will be interesting to see how the story is spun. A number of different ways the media could go with this.

Random Trivia Question:

What President was against freeing slaves, tried to assure the South that slavery would continue to exist, refused to free slaves in border states, and is on record arguing that Africans and African Americans needed to leave the U.S., because whites and blacks could never coexist peacefully? In fact, many slaves were shipped to Liberia.

You might know the answer, but how many kids in public school with union teachers would know? My guess is none...they'd probably respond Bush or Palin.

Democrats always spin a loss as a win, when they had the recalls for the state seats in wisconsin a few months ago the dems took two of em back but the repubs still hold the majority and the dems were reporting its a win for us, like i said tune into ed shultz tonight it should be straight up comical. Shultz was one of the ones saying its a win for democrats, whenever i need a good laugh i watch the ed show, he is one dumb country fukk.

Agree, Ed is a joke, I hear he was a talk radio conservative and switched to leftist just so he could reach a different audience. I think he is fake.

Anyway, anything that happens tomorrow will be spun as a win for the dems. If its a close Walker win, they will say the dems outperformed expectations which should translate to easy wins in November. If its a blowout Walker win, they will say it will energize the base in November because union rights all across the country will be at stake, as well as the only reason Walker won was because out of state corporate money from the rich and the little guy is screwed again which will energize the dem base. Either way, the media will control the narrative tomrrow.

lol an ignorant buffoon like crustyme would post something like this, he is a very simpleminded individual.

[crustyme]

wait, im sure all you union hating neo-cons reap these benefits, which exist only because of unions, but instead of thanking them you want them destroyed?

and who's the ignorant buffoon?

[a4u2fear]

They're all sellouts. People need to realize that.

Look at Dick Morris. He was Bill Clinton's campaign manager.
