The Wisconsin State Patrol was dispatched Friday to find a Democratic state senator who fled the Capitol to delay the near-certain passage of a bill to end a half-century of collective bargaining rights for public workers, a measure that's attracted thousands of protesters for four days.
With Democrats saying they won't return before Saturday, it was unclear when the Senate would be able to begin debating Gov. Scott Walker's measure meant to ease the state's budget woes. Democrats who disappeared Thursday at first kept their whereabouts secret, then started to emerge to give interviews and fan the protests.
I can't even imagine our politicians in D.C. doing the same thing. Certainly Obama is peddling his right-wing "conciliation" shit to interviewers:
Obama spoke with a WTMJ television reporter for ten minutes, an interview set up hastily as the scale of the confrontation in Wisconsin began to become apparent.
The first question was about his reaction to Walker’s actions in pushing through legislation to eliminate collective bargaining rights for most public employees.
“Everybody’s got to make some adjustments to new fiscal realities,” he began, endorsing the basic falsification employed by Democratic and Republican politicians alike to justify cuts in public employee wages and benefits.
What a no-good son-of-a-bitch. Why don't you change your political affiliation, Barry, and get on with it?
