Cairo in Wisconsin, The Reid Report:

"You, like lots of other states where Republicans won big last November, have voted in the devil you’re now protesting ... This was also the night Wisconsin voters tossed out Democratic Senator Russ Feingold, by about the same margin, in favor of yet another tea party candidate … And yet today, as tens of thousands of people poured into the streets to protest Walker’s draconian plan to essentially break public sector unions, even threatening to use the National Guard against state workers, or even to place Guard members in their jobs, Feingold launched a new progressive PAC, and vowed to continue fighting for the state …"

are two parties here. Don't blame democrats who went out and voted and only lost by about 5%. The dems are currently the ones doing the massive protests being totally overlooked by corporate media.

In my time among the protesters in Madison though I saw many people DUers would stereotype as tea-baggers (you know those gray haired baby-boomers everyone loves to hate) I didn't actually find a single tea-bagger or detect any tea-bag philosophy! The teabaggers aren't protesting! They are chuckling at home as their jealousy is fed by the Club for Growth.

Please quit saying we got what we voted for. That's really foul. WE as in WE DEMOCRATS lost elections. That doesn't mean anything like 'we voted for' the Kulak pledged to serving the Robber Barons.


Sorry, but the pundits are fucking getting to me.
