Look, we all knew the GOP was a bunch of sore losers but it appears there is a lot of political payback going on right now.
There have been smaller examples all over (GOP is going after progressive radio on small scale) but the big example is what's going on in Michigan.
Maybe...FINALLY, this will be a wake up call for people to show up for mid-term elections.

We'll see. There are an awful lot of middle/working class/poor people who have bought the whole anti-labor rhetoric of the GOP/Right Wing, and will continue to support the pols who push this sort of shit.

I consider any working person who is anti-union to be ipso facto mentally deficient, end of story.
And there are millions.

The anti-labor rhetoric is simply an artifact of our corporate controlled media trumping up our bootstrappy self image. If you need a union to protect you, you must be some kind of simpering slob.
Feudalism, folks. Embrace it. Love it. Live it.

It is a naked power grab. Union members tend to vote for Democrats. Unions tend to provide money for Democratic candidates. So, the Republicans, the party of liberty and personal responsibility, are working on rigging the system. If you were all about liberty and personal responsibility, you would rig the system, too, since that what liberty and personal responsibility are all about.
