The GOP just can't handle winning, they are much like my favorite band the KINKS. Just when things seem to be looking up they shoot themselves in the foot and self destruct.

However, the Dems running and crossing state lines was extremely cowardly. Above someone stated that was all they could do to protect the people. I call BS on that. They have voices and know people at radio and television studios, they could have debated on those. I'm sure any station (except Clear Channel owned stations) would have been glad to have had a televised debate.

I have a GOP City councilman as a great friend here and he thinks that SB5 in Ohio which is similar to the Wisconsin bill, lays more problems on cities that are going bankrupt and is speaking out against his own party. As many here have.

Making it illegal to strike I understand for emergency services that being ok. For teachers and other employees, They should have the right to strike. It's becoming obvious everywhere that those who are ultra rich and own everything are trying to bust the unions. Because as the states take away the rights to strike, so to will all companies. Granted the unions served a purpose at one time to get better wages and benefits, they then became gluttonous and pac's for the Dems.

The right sells the BS through people who want their audience to believe they are just humble working men/women like them. Yet, Hannity, Beck, Limbaugh, O'Reilly all have mansions and make millions (so someone explain to me, how any of these guys are suffering like the rest of middle class) I just don't get it. Just like I don't get why people buy what they say.It's obvious to anyone with half a brain they are selling nothing, snake oil maybe.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
