I have to give credit to the good state of Wisconsin. They really took the fight to the government that showed a greater interest in tax cuts than investing in the future with education. Rallies, some of the state Senate leaving the state to avoid a vote, and now recalling the very men that tried to undermine a state’s goal of education building and union fortifying. The great thing about it…they did it on their own.
Oh sure many other states, many other Dems and liberals had “team spirit” but they can’t vote can they?
That’s the big issue isn’t it? Wisconsin had to fight for their survival; their very existence is in jeopardy. What has been lost in this argument is how in the world did it get this far?
The recalls are happening because Wisconsin didn’t recall the previous eight years.
They did it again, like many other states they did it; they had lost sight of what was going on. They got mad at the Dems, got mad at Obama; they did what most progressives do when they get mad. They got beaten, badly. Ron Johnson won for Senate, he beat Russ Feingold. Russ Feingold! Scott Walker won the Governor’s seat. Out of eight positions of the state House of Representatives the right won 5. The right took over the state Senate as well. But hey, nothing could go wrong, right? I mean it could be no worse than having those heartless do nothing Democrats, right?
Big fucking WRONG!
The right went after Wisconsin like they were a political petri dish. They gutted the budget, attacked the unions, and went after voter suppression.
But that’s Obama’s fault right?
That line is getting old. He didn’t do what we wanted him to do. It’s been almost two years by 2010 and he hasn’t showered us with change! He didn’t come out to defend us when those bad men that WE, the state of Wisconsin voted in came after us.
Boo fucking hoo! You got what you had coming to you! You didn’t listen to the black man did you?
“You are the change you have been waiting for”!
Your votes, your organization, your spirit will get you what you want, not Obama! He is the president. He doesn’t get to vote in your state for anything, he doesn’t get to do anything that creates a law. That’s what your state representatives do. You see that now don’t you? Tired of waiting for Super Obama to fly in and save you? Good, save your damn self! That’s why this country is a republic and not a democracy. You need to quit bottle-necking your governmental focus. It ends with Obama, but as you have learned by having to do all that you are doing today in order to dig out of a ditch that you made on November 2, 2010…politics are local. If you don’t believe that yet, wait till 2012 and vote for someone besides Obama.
Unions will be the least of your problem.
