Dunkirk Walker Style: Divide & Conquer
http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/151197545.html#!page=10&pageSize=10&sort=newestfirst
"I have no interest in pursuing right-to-work legislation in this state," he (Walker) told reporters at the state Republican Party's annual convention.
So there we have it. Scott Walker is telling the truth?
Oops…there’s more:
http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/in-film-walker-talks-of-divide-and-conquer-strategy-with-unions-8o57h6f-151049555.html
"Any chance we'll ever get to be a completely red state and work on these unions -" Hendricks
- At this point union can be either public or private sector, while red is a clear sign the Hendricks wants to socially engineer WI from a purple state to a Republican state.
"Oh, yeah," Walker
"…and become a right-to-work?" Hendricks.
"What can we do to help you?" Hendricks
- Hendricks asking what “WE?” can do to help Walker make WI a right-to-work state, which would help her business.
“Right-to-work laws forbid unions and employers to enter into agreements requiring employees to join a union and pay dues and fees to it in order to get or keep a job. Twenty-one states, mostly in the South and West, have right-to-work laws.”
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Right-to-Work+Laws
- Either way it takes money away from the union that is supposed to represent the workers that are part of it. As we all know most unions give money to democrats, just so you know.
And…
"Well, we're going to start in a couple weeks with our budget adjustment bill," Walker.
- this is in response to right-to-work which Walker says he opposes all of a sudden, even though we all know he co-sponsored a bill in 1993.
"The first step is we're going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions, because you use divide and conquer."
- So why would there need to be a first step if Walker says he’s against a right-to-work law? Wouldn’t a straight shooter tell Hendricks that he is against “right-to-work” (Since he must have changed his mind since 1993)?
- If this is the case why would the tactic “divide and conquer” be needed if the only reason was for the state budget. I thought the Gov. was looking out for all of us? I didn’t think that Scott Walker would put us in camps of enemies and friends?
Go on…
"So for us," Walker
- As far as us he must mean him and his Fitz henchman.
"The base we get for that is the fact that we've got – budgetarily we can't afford not to.” Walker
- So Walker is saying in order to justify the first step to get to the right-to-work law is to use the excuse of the budget.
“If we have collective bargaining agreements in place, there's no way not only the state but local governments can balance things out” , Walker.
- Okay he has made this argument before the so called “tools” he gave to localities. Yet it still goes after democratic funding. Walker's main poltical opponent.
But now, he again get’s away from Public sector unions:
“. . . That opens the door once we do that. That's your bigger problem right there."
- Opens the door to what? Walker makes clear that public unions are the larger problem. That Hendricks private sector union problem can only be solved by going after the public sector unions first to divide them from the private sector.
I don’t know how many right-wingers I have read who say they are all for Private sector union rights, but are against public sector because it is funded by tax dollars.
Are you right-wingers now going to defend Walker when he makes it clear that his intent is to go after private sector unions, who have a 100% constitutional right!
Honesty seems to be in short supply for Waukesha Conservatives. Willing to sell their souls to “stick” it to the liberals, unions, anyone with an ideology left of their own and glutton themselves on their hoarded gold.
“Divide and conquer” are tactics used by dictators and authoritarians, and not by people in a democratic republic. A real leader seeks inclusion and consensus, a bully perfers the iron fist.
Am I, and other non-Walkerites, an enemy that has to be conquered?

to be forced to give my money to a group who does not do what is good for me as a
Wisconsin tax payer !! But for some reason you are assuming that the us refers to
another reason . All I can say is why do you hate us in Wisconsin who wish to work
with out being forced to pay others for things we do not want ?

making choices is what America is all about ! Not being forced to do something you
wish not to do . The only time having a choice is good for a Dumocrat is when they
are allowed too kill babies (Women/men) for their choice is good then !! Stop the
killing and stop the hatred of Wisconsinites just for Dumocrat gains !! As for those
fees to be in a union . Let me have the job and not be in that union !! I will show the
company why they should pay me more than what the union is getting for its sheep
!!

As long as these "victims" of Scott Walker lie to my children about being sick, cancel and disrupt field trips to the Capital building and make 4th graders watch a Disney movie instead of teach, disrupt Special Olympic events, vandalize tha Capital building and plant bombs on bridges.... - Yes.
It is appropriate such activities be defeated.
As for the option to Walker - we have Mayor Barrett that maintains his power through the subjugation of his constituents via poverty, crime and lack of education. The City of Milwaukee record speaks for itself.
Lower taxes under Walker or rise in crime, African American unemployment and drop out rates under Barrett. Have a heart JP - let Barrett have his way with MKE if you must but please leave the rest of WI out of that cesspool.

1) How Pickard reduces WFB res to nothing more the insignificant dribble?
-or-
2) WFB res fails to even recognize what Pickard is doing to him?
This could be a case study on how a college degree is so much more valuable than
a GED.

union one liners that accomplish nothing but make union sheep feel good .

I am not going to spin nor defend what Walker said, in my opinion it is indefensible. Having said that, I have pretty much the same feeling of this article as I do with walkers gotcha moment.
The reason, the same reason no politician can unite the state (or the country for that matter) is this article is all about trying to get a 'gotcha' to 'divide' the other side. Make no mistake, this article plays directly into the political trap that both parties have set because they each know, to achieve power they must divide and conquer. Both parties are very well aware of the fact that if the American people were to actually unite as one, most would be unemployed at the least.
In the end, is this going to change anyone's mind about their vote in a few weeks? Nope. It just plays people right into that trap.
In my personal opinion, I don't know why Walker ever hid from making Wisconsin a right to work state. The union crowd, (public or private) are mostly going to be voting democratic anyway as that is what their union bosses tell them. Plus, giving individuals the right to choose for themselves where they will work and what the condition of the employment will be is morally superior to whatever union dribble can be used against it. There simply is no answer to the question what makes giving a union a monopoly of a businesses employees trump the individuals right to choice? At the end of the day, no one, on either side, wants to be told what to do, they only want to tell others what to do.

PDLS's have on our country now !! He is doing far less of his comment than the o
has done to the Republicans . Not to mention the biased media that plays up to the
Dumocrats . Further more Walker has done nothing wrong . But has any PDLS
noticed that Barretts wife is breaking laws ? Not to mention the o and his minions !! I
doubt it for PDLS's only think corruption is such when somebody else does it . That is
opposite on how Republicans think . They want all corruption to stop .

So let's talk Walker, let's see if you can focus and not deflect. So typical.
Cesspool. There are some parts of milwaukee that are bad, but by labeling the entire city a cesspool, you forget the 8 years that Walker was county exec and his role in leaving the county broke and underwater.
Anyway let's talk about the Lie that Scott Walker is, and the fraud that you support.
Jacob Pickard - May 15, 2012 4:48 PM
You owe your Waukesha suburban existance to Milwaukee, even now, since it is the economic engine of the state and of Southeast WI.
Just because you hate those whom live here and may have had some bad experiences, does not mean that your "stereotypes" enforced by your AM radio are real.
Milwaukee has problems, but so does Waukesha County. Luckily I have lived in both and speak from experience, but unlike you don't stereotype all the people and the area like you have done.
Show some respect.
WFB resident - May 15, 2012 10:16 PM
being the driving force of the state . SO ? lol... "You owe your Waukesha suburban
existance to Milwaukee, even now, since it is the economic engine of the state and of
Southeast WI." Some how all other cities in Wisconsin would not exist if Milwaukee
was not here ??? lol... That is pretty ig------ . So with out New York there is no US
Eastern shore ? What logic . Just think with out MMSD There would be no Lake
Michigan ! lol...

It is appropriate such activities be defeated. Why do you think such activities should be sustained or affirmed?

I am only saying, please keep Barrett, his high crime, acceptance of 200+ rapes per year as "normal", 40% black male dropout rate, 60% habitual truancy rate, 26% unemployment increase, annual tax hikes, family abuse of public property to campaign, and criminal endorsements OUT of the Capitol so he doesn't spread that mess over hte entire state.
No disrespect from me - Barrett is captaining the Milwaukee ship.
