Cowardly Wisconsin Democrat Senators: Felons and Subverters of WI Constitution

[Oddball]

all for what? really?

12% of their medical ins. premiums and 5% towards their pension...and this? Really?

That and ending collective extor....er bargaining *yeah, that's the ticket* for benefits, not wages.

 

[boedicca]

I heard some tool of a union rep say that the real issue is that they want collective bargaining for things like limiting class sizes.

Yeah. Right.

Yeah. Right.

Well hell yeah they want to have smaller class sizes...and what is the end result of that? More teachers paying more dues.

and I might add, I watched gov. Walker. he made quite an impression, he answered the questions sans notes knowledgeably... directly and spoke to the points without rancor, with-in understandable and easily translatable language/term, he outlined the issues well I think.... hummmm, kinda what many people think Obama does.................

Apparently according to Wi. law you can't arrest a member of the state legislature while the legislature is in session. The governor sent State Troopers to the (democrat) senate minority leader to drag his coward ass back to work but he had fled with the rest of the slimebags.

Ah, a friend just told me that the bill will also allow members to opt out of their dues responsibility to the UNION via a sate collection system, if they wish...and will need to re-vote the union in, every year.

Now, if that's true, we know why the Union thug leadership is going beserk and of course Obama too.

edit-

yup..

Unions are treating these reforms as Armageddon because they've owned the Wisconsin legislature for years and the changes would reduce their dominance. Under Governor Walker's proposal, the government also would no longer collect union dues from paychecks and then send that money to the unions. Instead, unions would be responsible for their own collection regimes. The bill would also require unions to be recertified annually by a majority of all members. Imagine that: More accountability inside unions.

This coming from the "Filibuster Party". So be it.

Filibuster is legal, dereliction of duty and willful violation of the oath of office are not, imbecile.

When did politicians ever care about what was or wasn't legal?....

I've seen a couple of interviews also...

This dude is no pushover...

yup, he seemed very deft.


and of course if I may add a note, as to winners and losers and Wisconsin giving the governorship and state legislature(s) to the Republican party;


The top congressional leaders from both parties gathered at the White House for a working discussion over the shape and size of President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan. The meeting was designed to promote bipartisanship.

Obama noted that such workers pay Social Security and Medicare taxes, property taxes and sales taxes. The issue was widely debated during the presidential campaign, when Sen. John McCain, the Republican nominee, challenged Obama’s tax plan as “welfare.”

With those two words — “I won” — the Democratic president let the Republicans know that debate has been put to rest Nov. 4 .

But since when did democratics give a hoot in hell about the law or their oath of office?

Wouldn't it be great if they filed charges against all of them....

Walker's the guy to do it at this point, and the WI-GOP is pissed enough to go through with it.

actually it's 12% total increase. They already pay in 5% of their benefits.

Seems like I reacall a similar event in Texas a while back?

There was and the cowards who ditched out on their duties lost in the end.

that was over redistricting.

 

[Big Fitz]

Pull a Ronald Reagan on them. Tell them to be back at work on Tuesday or consider themselves fired on Wednesday. Seemed to work out well when we had this shit going with the air traffic controllers.

i dont think any Governor has that kind of authority

Actually, to use a sick day under false pretenses can be a terminating offense. Lying to your employer usually results in termination once discovered.

Perfect excuse to swing that axe. I know a few out of work teachers who'd move to WI.

Oh look... the Rotunda's become a Rotarda!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Mr. Boe has a great suggestion. Gov. Walker should give them a deadline to return. If they refuse, he should then declare their offices abandoned and announce a special election.

Scott Mubarak won't do that: recall. He likes his office. He will bargain.
