Wisconsin and the Establishment Democrat

[whereisjustice]

Anyone remember the horrible fight in Wisconsin as a right-wing teabagger fucked over the unions and working families in Wisconsin?

Madam Sec? Mr. President?

Where were you?

How about you, DNC? Debbie? At home in your comfortable shoes?

Anyone?

Right.

We deserve better than Hillary.

People are starting to realize it and they are doing something about it.

Hillary Clinton is taking aim at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, one of her potential adversaries for the presidency in 2016.

In a speech in Washington, D.C., on Friday to the Democratic National Committee's women's leadership forum, Clinton gave a boost to Democrat Mary Burke, who is running against Walker.

Walker is weighing whether to run for president, and is considered a likely frontrunner should he decide to run — but first, he will need to win re-election this year.

Add Clinton to the long list of Democrats working to ensure Walker does not succeed.

President Barack Obama shook hands and had a laugh with Gov. Scott Walker at the La Crosse, Wisconsin, airport. Then he drove over to the local university campus and compared him to a crazy “Uncle Harry” who’d betrayed the people of Wisconsin and American ideals.

“Wisconsin is this extra state full of extraordinary people,” Obama said, ripping through Walker’s record with specifics, though he never said Walker’s name. “But if you end up having policies that cut education, help folks at the top, don’t expand opportunity, then it’s not going to work. We need better policies.”

Obama was in Wisconsin to formally unveil his administration’s new overtime rule, set to raise wages for up to 5 million workers, as part of a hard-hitting speech ripping into Republicans for opposing him on issues like equal pay for women, raising the minimum wage, workers’ rights, Medicaid expansion and taxing the wealthy.

So, yeah. I don't know what you were talking about, or trying to imply, but it doesn't seem accurate.

2. Umm arent both of those statements

Made after the damage was done....

I dont recall seeing them walking the square during the act10 protests... but there were a lot of us there so maybe they were just lost in the crowd.

3. Serious bullshit there. Where were they in 2011 when the shit hit the fan?

Safely away from the fight. And how about the recall votes in 2012? Where was Democratic Party support?

NOWHERE.

Democratic Party elite, safely away, waiting for the dust to settle so they could avoid any controversy during 2012 elections.

DNC betrayed us in Wisconsin. Dragged their unwilling asses to Wisconsin after the fact.

For a brief moment of political opportunity, DNC betrayed its constituency and now they risk the election and enable an asshole like Trump.

Well done.

4. All MIA.

I think Rahm hid Barack's comfortable shoes behind a pile of corporate campaign contributions.
