Today's WTF Moment is Brought to You by the Wisconsin Republicans.....

[disneydream06]

Not satisfied with negotiating with the awol Democrats to try and solve the "budget" bill mess, aka Union Busting Bill, the Wisconsin Republicans have tweeked the current bill thus calling it a completely new bill and passed it without the Democrats being there to vote or not.

This was apparently all accomplished in a half hour time period.

I dare anybody to try and tell me they are not playing fast and furious with the law.

So it looks like the Republicans have broken the unions in Wisconsin. Ohio is on the verge of doing it, if they haven't already, and New Jersey is working on it. Albeit they are "playing nice" about it.

Today it's the government unions, how soon before private companies decide they don't want to negotiate either?

Are we really going to turn the clocks back in this country to a time when workers had no rights, women had no rights, and we lived in isolation fear of the rest of the world?

It's a sad day. I'm afraid this time the corporations, who now pay more than lip service for support by social conservatives have set the course, and we're well on our way to theocratic corporatocracy.
We'll be uber-f*cked when the religious conservatives and the coporatists begin in-fighting for ultimate control (even more so than they are now....).
