Wisconsin Takes A Stand For Fiscal Sanity

[Kidlicious]

A union is an organised association of workers for the protection of their common interests.

One of their aims may be to prevent exploitation of workers by employers- be they private or public.

In other words, they want to get paid more than others.

He's like Moby in that he won't give you an honest discussion.

Pretty rich, coming from someone who can't or won't support his extravagant claims about union control of the Democrats in or out of Wisconsin.

In a thread specifically talking about the relationship between government and public sector unions he claims there is no difference between public and private sector unions.

Could you point out where I said that? You might infer that, but then, given your unsupported claims, you might infer anything- that's not my problem.

Circling around this silly point endlessly ensures you never actually get to the real issues.

Such as your inability to support your argument with hard facts, instead of emotive claims and pure Polspeak ?

Full of verbiage but saying nothing

So far, the 'tale told by an idiot signifying nothing' (metaphorically speaking), would appear to be contained in your posts.

In other words, they want to get paid more than others.

Who 'want to get paid more than others' ? Which 'others' ? The school of KuciWezil vagueness strikes again...

Again.

Only a handful of posters at this site or in the "not worth the effort category". You qualify hands down.

A state is an aggregate of specific interests.

The idea that a specific interest can't end up undermining another one through the government is wholly retarded.

There was never any debate here. Just the worthless ramblings of a kid who can't imagine what life would be like with less than $100k/year, and a libertarian.

[Fake Boris]

And I refuted that, multiple times. Creating a union that has the ability to extort the state by striking is quite a bit different from simple status quo bias.

So you think that the State shouldn't have a right to lock-out the teachers?

Again.

How sad that you seem unable or unwilling to back up your exaggerated claims with facts. Posting 'bored' emoticons and making snide remarks hardly compensate for a lack of anything concrete to back up the emotive shrieks.

Weasel words are all you have, Wezil

[Wezil]

Yep, that's it. I was bested.

Voters reject pro-union candidate for Court set to hear legal case stemming from Walker's new law:

In a victory for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, an official tally for a hotly contested Supreme Court election confirmed Friday that incumbent David Prosser defeated his Democratic-backed challenger by 7,316 votes.

The slim margin, out of nearly 1.5 million ballots cast, prompted challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg's campaign to say they may ask for a recount. They have until Wednesday to decide.

"We will review the information available to us and carefully weigh the options," the campaign said in a statement.

The April 5 poll became a referendum on Mr. Walker, a first-term Republican, after he championed a bill that would curtail collective bargaining rights for public employee unions. Mr. Prosser, a former Republican legislator, was expected to win easily until tens of thousand of Democrats converged on Madison to protest Mr. Walker and buoy Ms. Kloppenburg's campaign. Mr. Walker signed the bill but it is now held up in court and has not been enacted.

On Friday Mr. Prosser's campaign declared victory.

"Today, the will of the electorate is clear, with the last canvas now completed, and Justice David Prosser re-elected to another 10-year term to the Supreme Court."

The race, which was publicly financed and technically non-partisan, drew more than $4.5 million in outside support. Democrats hoped that a victory by Ms. Kloppenburg would tip the balance of power on the conservative-leaning court.

Ms. Kloppenburg was leading by 204 votes and declared victory on April 6. The next day the Waukesha County clerk announced she had failed to save more than 14,000 votes on her computer. Those additional votes, from a conservative suburb of Milwaukee, gave Prosser an unofficial 7,500-vote lead and pushed him over top.

The official count on Friday came from a canvas of the state's 72 counties.

Democrats have asked state and federal authorities to investigate Waukesha Clerk Kathy Nickolaus in connection with the error as well as alleged irregularities in the 2006 election.

Ms. Nickolaus, who worked for Mr. Prosser as a member of the Assembly Republican caucus in the mid-1990s, has said she made an honest mistake and has refused requests by Democrats that she step down.

I'm so thrilled at your approbation. You can only imagine how important it is to me, in the grand scheme of things.

[molly bloom]

Yep, that's it. I was bested.

Another emoticon and still no facts. Are they difficult to come by in Wezilworld, unlike weasel words and hollow claims ?

[Wezil]

Geez Molly. I hope you don't double dog dare me.

Geez Molly. I hope you don't double dog dare me.

Ooohhh. Fightin words, as well as weasel words. Run out of emoticons ?
