FWIW, a lot of private sector union households in Wisconsin seemed to feel the same way in the recent recall election.
I read it different Pat for what it's worth. Wisconsan's were plenty pissed at what they perceived as outside interference in their choice of governance. All of the bad press directed towards a nice level headed population was another sign of how corrosive big money has become in our elections. Wisconsans didn't deserve all that negative publicity and had there not been such a huge pile of advertising advocating retention of the Governor sent their way I have to believe they would have sent the Walker packing. He clearly overstepped but he is their duly elected officeholder. So they circled the wagons against both sides meddling in their affairs. That's how I see it.
Even if I'm just a underachieving construction puke it is clear to me. It's a sad state of affairs when our government is for sale to the highest bidder.
