WI Senate Republicans forced to flee Madison due to angry mob of union people

Wisconsin Republican State Senators were forced to flee their own capital of Madison yesterday after the significant vote where they finally succeeded in removing almost all collective bargaining rights from public workers. The impactful vote, which only came late in the evening yesterday, caused union people and their supporters to even start crying as the news of the Republican victory to tackle the unchecked deficit broke. As news of the vote spread, the mob of union supporters inside the state Capitol exploded from only a few hundred to about 7000 angry demonstrators, a number that was the most ever at any one point in all the past weeks of union protests inside the building.

During an appearance on Fox News’ On the Record, GOP State Senator Glenn Grothman had to check in from Milwaukee because of security threats that occurred almost instantly after word of the collective bargaining-busting vote emerged. According to Grothman—who, if you’ll remember, was also victimized by the same bunch of hyper-aggressive and threatening union people in an incident where they swarmed him as he tried to enter the state Capitol building—after the Republicans voted to strip public workers of almost all collective bargaining rights, they were told to leave Madison immediately due to the angry mob of union people waiting for them!!
This is beyond outrageous now; this is something that I would expect from the savages in Egypt or other Middle Eastern countries…but in Wisconsin?!!? From so-called “civilized” people?! No way. Clearly, the Democrat-supporting union people in the state are showing the world, mortifyingly, that the feral and wild behavior by the mobs in the Middle East is a common trait with union people in Wisconsin.

The GOP vote late yesterday came after Republicans finally discovered a loophole of sorts regarding how to proceed without the cowardly 14 Democrats who fled the state to obstruct the vote on Governor Scott Walker’s budget bill. The good news is that these 14 obstructionist Democrats are now utterly foiled in their law-defying shirking of their duty to be present in Madison and vote on legislation! Now, besides being foiled, they also have egg on their faces with the knowledge that their time spent outside Wisconsin was all…for naught! Even though it was believed that at least one Democrat had to break ranks to help the GOP pass Walker’s budget-repair bill to fix a $137 million shortfall, the clever thinkers at the GOP finally figured out that they could pass the fiscal responsibility-promoting bill without any uncooperative Democrats. So how’d they do it? They simply removed all spending measures from Walker’s bill, which freed them up to vote on it without a quorum, since bills with spending measures attached required quorums (read: Democrat involvement).

While this is indeed a total victory for those who value fiscal conservatism, the Wisconsin State Assembly will return today to complete the Senate’s work on the budget-repair bill, at which they are expected to succeed.

No matter how fiercely or bombastically the forces of entitlements and socialism (read: union people and Democrats) whine about how “unfair” or even “racist”—or whatever the hell they want to say—this vote was, it was truly a victory for standing up against worsening deficits. As a consequence of this GOP vote, union workers are now mandated to pay more towards their own pensions and also pay double for their health insurance contributions…wow, big deal!! The cries of these socialist union thugs are totally unwarrantable for how little they are being made to contribute—finally!—on their own, now! Compared to many workers in the private sector, public workers in Wisconsin are still faring better with regards to their pension and health insurance contributions, but once they become addicted to entitlements and getting a free ride, even small sacrifices are extreme to them. This whole episode simply proves how selfish and unreasonable union people are.
