So it is the belief of many here that the republicans got elected in WI because only the rich there voted for them. Interesting.

I am also really interested in how so many of you are going to react when a republican minority uses a tactic like this on a Democratic majority.

I mean the reason it was so difficult for Federal democrats to pass bill was not really because only republicans opposed the bills. We all can count, and know for the first 2 years the democrats had a majority in both houses, and a democrat president. It really was those pesky blue dog democrats that slowed down the ability to shove anything Reid and Pelosi wanted down the pipe….

In WI ‘s case the 14 missing democrats are not serving democracy by simply being MIA. If they really could count on a majority of Wisconsin voters to oppose this bill, they should be able to get the voters to call and write their republican representatives in order to convince some of them to change their vote.

The idea that ALL the republicans are voting against the wishes of the people they represent is simplistic.

The first time I heard the expression “elections have consequences” it was a democrat telling a republican.
