smart: I think it was a smart move attacking the labor unions. With the computer generations coming up the youth is less restrained from information and will mostly vote Democratic. Getting the money out is all they can do to keep the youth down, from Republicans wanting to raise the retirement age on the youth which will only increase the worker pool and lower wages that comes with a larger worker pool to allowing stated to go bankrupt to open up state to state wage competition again. Restrained people are less politically active.Was it smart for the republicans to attack the place the Democratic party gets money, labor unions?Its about time someone did.. it isn't right that unions control the voting rights of their members.. that is anarchy.. and Obama and gang know it.. so of course they suck up to the unions.. makes me sick what our politics have become...LOUSY POLITICIANS and Obama is the dirtiest of them all!|||young people are less politically active period. and it is not a political attack on dems monetary base, it is to fix the state debt and deficit. it is not always political as some would want us to believe. we have 10,000 baby boomers retiring each day, surely a few of those people are in wisconsin. it is the dems running scared who are making political hay from this. cowardsWas it smart for the republicans to attack the place the Democratic party gets money, labor unions?It is when the place the labor unions get money to elect people who will give the more money is the taxpayers. People who are having trouble making house payments and can't afford a good healthcare policy or put anything away for retirement should not have to pay taxes that allow govt employees to have free healthcare and fat pensions.|||Conservatives have a long history of strong arming and trying to intimidate worker organizations. This is absolutely nothing new.Was it smart for the republicans to attack the place the Democratic party gets money, labor unions?It's not an attack. Tough choices must be made to stop the bankruptcy of this county and individual states. Obama said we all must sacrifice, but apparently he wasn't talking about the unions.|||...at what point do you realize that, if your age is your biggest selling point, then you haven't really accomplished anything in life on your own?|||Ending the unions = ending the democratic party. They just can't come out and say that. A budget crisis sounds much better.|||All we do is smart, it's who were are and you are correct, this IS an attack...America will not lose to Democrats or Islam...|||When you don't have any issues and no one in their right mind would vote for you then it might be a good strategy.|||I fell down on your slippery slope|||run and hide *****
