Is it over for the unions?

That proved Walker is not about what teachers (and prison guards, librarians, and police and fire) get, it's not about the budget - it is about union-busting for political gain.

He's just trying to cover his ass now with the public.

Believe me: if 120,000 Tea Party members showed up anywhere - let alone 3 weekends in a row in the Wisconsin State Capital - it would be all over the news. The massive like demonstrations by thousands (10,000, 20,000) in Michigan and Indiana have not even getting news coverage. "Liberal bias" mainstream media? Huh?

Hey, you like Walker. Good luck with that.

I see the Republican party clearly now for the corporate whores they've become. They used to have a responsible social consciousness. That's long gone. Carl Rove killed the end of it. I'll not be voting GOP again anytime soon. I almost have more hope for the loons in the Tea Party turning that into a party that is viable and sustained, than the Republican party of today remaining a political force.

You vote, I'll vote, and the country will go where we steer it.

Oh, yeah: except the GOP, state by state, is desperately trying to take away the vote of college students before the 2012 elections. Because the young voted overwhelmingly for Obama, and tend to vote Democratic.

Yeah: the GOP is all about helping our country.
