On Wisconsin - On Wisconsin

Would someone please tell ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, & MSNBC that Governor Walker did not get recalled in Wisconsin. ODonnell at MSNBC went so far as to declare Obama the winner in Wisconsin. Was the president up for recall in that state?

I enjoyed how the labor unions, private & public, before the recall election, called it one of the most important in our lifetime because "it means the survival of collective bargaining as we know it".  

And just forty-nine minutes after the Wisconsin polls closed both Fox and NBC correctly projected Governor Walker as the winner. NBC went so far as to stop broadcasting election results in favor of Miley Cyrus' engagement and the Miss USA pagaent. At MSNBC broadcaster Ed Schultz said "the race is still not over....we have to count the  absentee ballots". Really Ed?


The truth that the networks won't report is that Governor Walker won in such a landslide that a neighboring state initially spurned on by Unions to also recall their Governor, dropped their pursuit. Gee, what does that tell you? In fact Governor Walker won by a larger margin over the same man, Mayor Barret, than he did the first time he ran against him.


And then the major networks, along with all the Democrat pundits are now saying the recall attempt in Wisconsin "was no big deal"., and then began to tout "Obama is still ahead of Romney in Wisconsin". I thought the Wisconsin election was about collective bargaining in the state. I didn't know Obama and Romney were even involved in the race.  Obama never made a trip to help Mayor Barret in his campaign against Governor Walker. I should mention, however, Obama did send a one-sentence twitter in support of Barret.


Since Governor Walker has been in office starting 2011 he has decreased the unemployment by 1.1%, lowered the state deficit from a minus to a surplus. He did this while still maintaining public workers making over $20,000., more individually than private workers.  Now, if Governor Walker did not accomplish all of this do you really think he would have survived the recall attempt election?


The people in the great state of Wisconsin have spoken, regardless of Obama and Romney's policies and popularities. The people have spoken that there will be no more of the Unions, "fox guarding the henhouse" mentality any longer. The Unions keep saying they are protecting jobs for the middle class. Yeah, with the real unemployment over 14%, where are the  jobs you are protecting?


Americans are not as naive as President Obama thinks we are. We believe we really don't need Unions any longer. In fact over 50,000 have been lost in the Union memberships over this past year.  More people are taking non-Union jobs and working hard to take care of their families, rather than have their Union dues go to corrupt Union officials or to the Obama campaign.


And that's Politics with Pete for today.
