..... Poor little union member crying about being out spent 4 million to walkers 34 million



:jet:


I don't believe for a sec UNIONS only spent 4.mil

The larger point is, to me, anyone who can't vote in Wisconsin has ZERO business spending a single dollar on politics IN Wisconsin. I'm glad Walker won but, what's bad for the goose is supposed to be bad for the gander. We'd have a far different view on the right this AM had Walker lost due to out of state money. Hell, if I understand correctly, it was largely out of state money that funded the recall effort in the first place.

I agree with you on theory but playing devil's advocate, how do you counter union money confiscated from members who are mandated to be members? You are correct in the statement that out of state money funded the recall effort. So what was good for the goose was good for the gander.

As far as money origins I found this link: BARRETT FALSE ATTACK: OUT OF STATE SUPPORT | Scott Walker for Wisconsin Governor (http://www.scottwalker.org/press-releases/2012/05/barrett-false-attack-out-state-support-0)

What I found amusing is Google has only this link in the first three pages of search results, all the other links are to left wing blogs.

This was an excellent and much needed victory for the GOP and sends a clear message to the dems that their days are numbered!! :yahoo:
