About 95% republicans hating blacks. I'm no fan of the republican party but blanket statements like that don't do any good to help anyone. Both parties could care less about any color but green.

you can put my last comment in the drunken posting file....although around the southwest here they sure aren't too fond of Mexicans or anyone else who can't speak english very well, legal or illegal. & I was surprised on how many Republicans I met that did make comments about Obama's race during & after the election, but at the same time there were more people I know who voted for him just because he's half black.

Top 10 Disastrous Policies From The Wisconsin GOP You Haven’t Heard About

Walker’s assault on public employees is only one part of a larger political program that aims to give corporations free reign in the state while dismantling the healthcare programs, environmental regulations, and good government laws that protect Wisconsin’s middle and working class. These lesser known proposals in the 144-page bill reveal how radical Walker’s plan actually is:

Wisconsin voters express buyer’s remorse over Gov. Scott Walker


http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_theticket/20110301/el_yblog_th...

Two months into his first term, a new poll shows Wisconsin voters are unhappy with GOP Gov. Scott Walker--and would send him packing if they were given a do-over of the 2010 election that sent him to the statehouse in Madison.

Amid the firestorm Walker touched off in going after the state's public-sector unions, voters indicated to Public Policy Polling (PDF) that Walker would lose a rematch with his Democratic opponent, Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, if the election were held today. Fifty-two percent of respondents said that today they would vote for Barrett and 45 percent said they would vote for Walker. Walker's job approval/disapproval was also 46 to 52 percent in the poll. PPP is considered to be a Democratic-allied firm

Those numbers are a complete reversal of November's election. Back then, Walker received 52 percent and Barrett received 46 percent of the vote.

The Wisconsin state capitol has been in disarray since Walker proposed ending collective bargaining for most state workers. Walker's bill has sparked enormous protests and prompted 14 Democratic state senators to flee the capitol to avoid advancing the measure in the state legislature.

Walker proposed ending collective bargaining as one way to help balance the state's budget and repair a $3.6 billion budget deficit. The governor and his allies argue that Walker is simply fulfilling his campaign promise to repair the state's fiscal situation.

Walker says he's actually working to preserve jobs for state workers. By ending collective bargaining and forcing state workers to contribute 5.8 percent of their salaries toward pensions and doubling their health insurance contribution, his administration would save 1,500 jobs between now and July, Walker says.

But critics say Walker's simply embarked on a union-busting power grab. President Obama earlier this month said Walker's proposal "seems like more of an assault on unions."

Regardless of how his program is playing in the court of public opinion, Walker has shown no signs of backing down. He issued a threat to Senate Democrats yesterday, saying that if the 14 state Senators do not return to the capitol Tuesday to vote on the bill, the state will lose out on $165 million in bond refinancing. Walker is scheduled to make a public address upon the 5 p.m. EST deadline for the lawmakers' return.

A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

Funny that they pretended for so long that collective bargaining had to be ended for the sake of the budget, but when it became obvious they were never going to get it through that way the just stripped the bill of fiscal language therefore no longer necessitating a quorum and passed the union busting bill.

My big problem with Boomers... they bought that Reagan shit hook line and sinker. Hell, Obama is a fucking Reaganite.

Not for nothing, Reaganism(or Thatcherism for youse across the pond) has been referred to as "friendly fascism."

Taking away collective bargaining should be a crime if I had the money I would be down in Wisconsin showing my support (I did hit up a rally in NY). Those people earned the package they have. Let this go on and it will spread like a cancer. Union workers keep wages up, this also helps non union workers too.
If you lower the rate of a union worker non union will go lower to compete. Then every one is making less.

Union work also helps your local economy, I see it all the time in construction. Out of town non union workers build take the money and leave. Instead you can pay local union workers a little more to build or do whatever and they will spend the money in there local community (groceries, gas, rent, and so on).
For some of these fat cats there is never enough food on the table for them.
Support your local unions, shop union, don't use self check out, deposit your money with a bank teller not a machine. People need to work and protect each others jobs. I have no problem waiting on a line if it keeps you employed.

and another thing not every one is going out of business and poor like it seems. Every were you look its pay cuts, employee cuts, pension cuts, and stuff like that. What a load of crap, its just a excuse that works. What it really is more for less. They keep pushing and pushing.
