Wow....

[Trey9007]

Watching Ed Rendell on MSNBC.. He mentioned that the Wi. governor never even went to the negotiating table with the unions. I had always assumed that negotiations with the unions had fell through or something, and that led to his assault on bargaining rights. He went straight to eliminating collective bargaining rights. No negotiations, no attempts at compormise, no nothing.

Dems, take note, this is how you operate when you have have majoritys. lol...

1. So you think Dems should act as underhanded as rethugs? I

think the governor's actions were/are disgraceful.

[liberal N proud]

2. That is now how democracy works

But when you have to deal with these tactics, you do what the Wisconsin 14 did, leave the state.

3. Oh, No....

...if WE do that, it's arrogant, partisan, and dictatorial.

But when Republicans do it, it's strong leadership. :puke:

15. You have a good evening

5. The tactics are quite obvious. Democrats serve their country (for the most part)

Republicans just rule as if they're monarchs for 4 or 8 years.

[spanone]

8. no. dems take note, this is how the vicious evil thugs do it and don't do the same

[senseandsensibility]

11. Rendell was actually making good points

in favor of the unions in that segment. I thought he'd wimp out.
