Wisconsin’s governor, Scott Walker, ran for office on a pledge to do exactly what he is doing. Wisconsin may be known as a strong liberal state but the voters had a choice. The public employees may not like the results but elections have consequences.
Wisconsin Democratic Senate members ran away en masse to Illinois so that they could stop a vote on a bill they oppose. This is not democracy. Nineteen members of that senate are Republicans and fourteen are Democrats. The results of the vote against the unions are obvious.
This is the way our system of government is supposed to work. The losers in each election must accept the fact that the majority of voters did not agree with their viewpoint. The Democrats lost.
