In response to:
Zen, in his hugely voluminous (and fact-challenged) diatribe, asserts that the "Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy" will "First, destroy the machinery of American Democracy."
Ah, got it. So it was Republican, rather than Demmie state legislators that fled the state, thus OVERTLY attempting to "destroy the machinery of American Democracy...." Right? Um....no.
And it was Walker and team who bussed in protestors from outside the state to obstruct the legislative process, and to attempt to intimidate legislators....right? Um......no.
And it was Walker and the Republicans who created the incestuous, corrupt marriage between public sector unions and a political party, thus openly trading unsustainable bennies for the union in return for votes....
10. The Left had their lawyers at the ready, and the liberal media was promising us "a late night." However, the margin of victory for Scott Walker made it impossible for the Left to utilize their tactical motto: if you're not cheating, you're not trying. When I was a kid growing up in Big Ten basketball country, I knew my Michigan Wolverines needed to be at least 5-8 points better than Indiana or Purdue when playing them on the road, because the refs were so intimidated by Bobby Knight and Gene Keady you weren't going to get a call down...
Zen, you're clearly a libbie shill, and have at best a passing familiarity with the facts.
Your prattle does not warrant further comment, easy as it is to dismantle.
