Gotta love it. I should run for public office, and my only platform will be "I HATE UNIONS!!!" Will probably get me elected. Especially in the wonderful now "Right to Work" state that is Indiana.

It's a funny thing, the whole union hate. Seems 99% of it comes from butthurts who just hate the fact we get paid well.

Couldn't possibly be that people of Wisconsin agree with the man, like the man, supported and then defended the man. Can't be that. It just can't.

It's only the money.

The man promised something. The man was deliveing what he promised. Obama could learn from him!!!

The problem was Barrett. People didn't vote for him, they voted against Walker.

Walker outspent Barrett 7-1, that's a huge edge. It may not have been the only factor but if you think elections haven't become almost entirely about the money in this country you haven't been paying attention. If you outspend your opponent by the amount that Walker outspent Barrett it's pretty much a guaranteed win. There's a reason that the upcoming presidential election is shaping up to be the most expensive in history. Money talks.
