The Wisconsin election is a shit sandwich, no doubt! But it also puts the lie to one of the biggest conservative talking points. Follow me below the fold to find out.
The idea that Unions are this big, powerful force moving to stamp out democracy has been shown tonight to be completely untrue. Conservatives constantly harangue us that unions are the big, bad Democratic monster that is controlling the vote in this country. Us liberals have tried to point out for a long time how, in actuality, it is corporate monied interests that actually controls the vote. Well, now, we have solid, watertight proof that they are full of shit. The next conservative that tries to tell me how Unions are so dangerous, I am going to. laugh. in. their. face. And then I'm going to ask them to explain tonight's election outcome.
