As Walker stands firm, Rot is going all wobbly

Rot always liked them Eugenic Debs.

Did you read the article you posted?

It's pretty interesting. There are about 3 ways that Walker can kill the union and his bill contains all three. Somehow he seems to think that he can get the Dems to sign on if he hands them one or two.

Of course not.

Anyway, same thing would have happened if he had just one of the three in the original bill and he wouldn't be here looking "reasonable."

Anyway the polls show overwhelmingly that voters can't tell the difference between collective bargaining and collective bargaining of government employees, so Walker will lose next time around and the state will end up with a Dem legislature. They'll reverse any good that Walker does accomplish and accelerate the slide into the sewer.

Textbook case of overstepping.

Yes, I read the article--of course. And I don't agree with your analysis--of course. Nyah, nyah, nyah.

Moore channels his inner Rot.

And I don't agree with your analysis.

Argue the point then. I would like to know if you think Walker can strip the unions and not lose next time around, given that the voters can't tell the difference between this case and general collective bargaining rights--which they overwhelmingly support.

This would fly in Texas, but it won't in nicey nicey Wisconsin.

I don't agree with your premise, or planted assumption, if you wish. To wit, that the criterion by which to judge Walker's actions is whether they help him get re-elected next time. That's 4 or 5 steps down the rung, in my book. The basic question is: do they makes sense from the point of view of what he was elected to do (based on what he campaigned on), and do they make sense in terms of draining the swamp in which the state government up there in WI is caught up into. And I posit the answer is yes to both questions.

The reason that I think it crucial that he and the GOPers get reelected is that if they don't, then the Dems will simply reverse these moves.

Simple as that. The point is not reelection, it is (lasting) reform.
