Dave_In_Norfolk Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_wisconsin_budget_unions Walker compared his stand to that taken by President Ronald Reagan when he fired the nation's air-traffic controllers during a labor dispute in 1981. "That was the first crack in the Berlin Wall and led to the fall of the Soviets," Walker said on the recording. The audio was posted on the Buffalo Beast, a left-leaning website in New York, and quickly went viral. Not just a corporate stooge, but a really ignorant one at that! The list a items this guy wants passed just goes on to prove how we are being driven down to China's level of consumer protections.

IDBillzFan Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Man, it sure took you guys long enough. This debate has been going on for WEEKS and NOW you finally come up with something that you say makes him look like an ignorant corporate stooge? Newslfash, Skippy: the ONLY people who care about this story are the ones running with it: Huffington Post and DailyKos. If only Olbermann's show was finally on the air at Gore TV. He'd probably do TWO special comments and a World's Worst Person segment. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Rush Limbaugh played it. Walker didn't say anything that he hasn't said before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Rush Limbaugh played it. Walker didn't say anything that he hasn't said before. But! A Liberal tricked him and exposed the world to everything that Walker has said to our faces, only this time, on a Skype conversation to a weasle lying about who he was!

OCinBuffalo Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) Will any of this change the fact that Wisconsin(or any of the other states) are broke, and can't afford the ridiculous contracts they have given their employees? Nope. When you get done talking, these realities will remain: we have too many government employees, getting paid too much, getting ridiculous benefits(who expects not to have to contribute to their own retirement? WTF?), not working nearly as hard as their private sector counterparts, and exerting an undue and/or illegal influence on government. These realities have been accepted by the majority of Americans, and no amount of hackery is going to remove them. Whatever you say/do, nothing is going to change these realities. So, Democrats face a choice: they can either modulate what they stand for, or they can try, and fail, to fight against the overwhelming majority's view that something needs to be done about these realities. No amount of hack hit pieces on Huffington Nonsense, or Youtube, changes the fact that the government employee union gravy train is rapidly approaching its last stop. Democrats could be smart, and pull a Clinton, and get ahead of this issue and say "we are going to do it right", and then say "don't let the Republicans do it wrong". Or, Democrats can be stupid, and and continue to pretend that "it doesn't have to be done", flying in the face of reality, is a good plan. My money, based on the last 11 years of Democrat behavior, is on stupid. Edited February 24, 2011 by OCinBuffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
