Bachmann criticizes Obama for siding with Wisconsin public workers

But it’s ok for Michele to take sides?

I thought Republicans were in favor of people making as much money as they can. After all, Bachmann’s never turned down a pay raise, a foster child remuneration, or a farm subsidy check.

I forgot to add, all of which come from the taxpayers.

greedy union again
get rid of them.

Greedy CEO’s with massive bonuses – get rid of them?
Greedy politicians – get rid of them?
Greedy companies sending jobs overseas, hoarding cash and not hiring here – get rid of them?
Greedy banks foreclosing on homeowners dishonestly – get rid of them?
Greedy private contractors defrauding the gov during wars – get rid of them?
Greedy Koch brothers buying themselves a country – get rid of them?
Greedy Wall Street – get rid of them?

Once again, just spitting out something that will be against the other party.

The idea of this amount of control that Wisc is trying to get OVER the people, is exactly the OPPOSITE of what the Right is always spouting.

once again you can’t have it both ways, you can’t have less politics with more control. you can’t have smaller government with more policies.

Get a clue!

I haven’t been to this website in quite sometime,I had a nervous breakdown when that idiot from the sixth congressional district ,(you know the crazy person)was re-elected.Boy,you people in Minnesota are getting real close to rivaling South Carolina as a nutjob state.Maybe you should have congress re-evaluate the boundries.

Government employees should be banned from belonging to a labor union because it’s a corrupt conflict of interest.

The taxpayers pay the alleged public servants, who then pay union dues to their union bosses, who then buy democrat politicians with campaign contributions, who then vote to increase the pay and benefits of the unionist government employees.

The vicious circle has driven most states and municipalities close to bankruptcy and the corrupt system of mutual back scratching between democrat politicians, goverment employees and their corrupt unions must stop now.

Comrade Dennis, you forget: capitalists who pay billions in campaign contributions and other bribes to our Republican comrades to get important tax breaks and licenses and franchises from the government. Be careful not to upset the great balance in favor of our “capitalist” comrades who are also engaged in the class struggle!

Bachmann said: “These are public servants — they serve the people of Wisconsin.”

Doesn’t she really mean these people and all the workers of American should be the slaves of corporate American?

Wisconsin HAD a budget surplus until Walker screwed that all up. Also note, he did not go after the unions representing the police and firefighters because they SUPPORTED him in his bid for the governor. I think we’re seeing the start of a nation wide revolt and it’s not going to stop with Wisconsin.

The U.S. is long overdue for a national strike,and while this is happening we could haul the liars in congress out of their cushy offices,and tell them WHAT WE WANT.Of course most of them would run away due to the cowardice factor

Republican politicians bought by big business, crafting legislations for and voting for the big business agenda.

“A number of the big business interests standing with Walker are beneficiaries of his administration’s tax giveaways. But the greatest ally to Walker is the dirty energy company Koch Industries. In response to the growing protests in Madison, Koch fronts are busing in Tea Party protesters to support Walker and his union-busting campaign… Koch-financed Americans for Prosperity are financing a pro-Walker protest scheduled tomorrow (Saturday).”

“Republican politicians bought by big business, crafting legislations for and voting for the big business agenda. ”

You mental midgets are missing my point. Private citizens (and companies) have a constitutional right to petition their goverment, and I’m not paying their salaries to do so, their customers are.

Public employees are paid with taxpayer money and then are using that taxpayer money to buy politicians to get them more taxpayer money. For those of you who had to go to government schools, that’s known as a conflict of interest, not to mention corrupt.

And quit using the term “workers”

Communist China has “workers.” The old soviet union had “workers.” Cuba has “workers.” It’s a Marxist term.

We have employees, merchants, entrepreneurs. Workers only exist in communist countries.

Hey, Dennis. Public employees are private citizens too. They have consitiutional rights just like you. I guess you don’t see public employees as citizens or even people. But corporations, like your employer (insurance, right?) they are “citizens and people….that is really warped.

Dennis –

You are a hypocrite and fraud.

“who then buy democrat politicians with campaign contributions, who then vote to increase the pay and benefits of the unionist government employees.”
————————
I’d appreciate some examples from the last 10 years.

On the other side (for example big pharma and insurance) there’s Medicare D with no negotiation allowed for drug prices, and the members of Congress bought/elected to protest their interest against the health care act.

Dennis (which ever random right wing blogger using the name Dennis you are today)

Does it hurt to be as stupid as you are….isn’t Michele Bachmann a public servant? Don’t we pay her salary? So what gives her the right to spew out lies for her own iditot self interest.

Also, Dennis, after me posting this numerous times, I have called you out repeatdly and still have gotten an answer, so I will repost both and you can pick one to answer:

-Name 1, just 1 civil liberty or right we have lost since Obama entered the White House

-You said the May clinic hallways looked like the UN, my question posed to you was back up your fat ass idiot statement by telling all of us the last time, if ever, you were aat the Mayo clinic to support your statement. Were you maybe there to see if Michele Bachamnn visits there psych ward on a regualr basis?

Bopper—-love your posts, lots of good points, however I have to point out, the foreclosure thing….if you don’t make a payment, the collateral (the home) in this case gets taken back. At that point I think becoming a renter vs a homeowner is probably the least of the problems (emplyment, health ins, etc..)
Sorry, this is what makes the lending world go round.

Please note I am not taking a shot at you I just wanted you to know my view point and while I think the robo signing thing should be investigated, it doesn’t change the fact a mortgage is a contract and if you don’t make the payments the lender will take the collatarel back.

Speaking of contracts its obvious the Wisc gov and Michelle only honor them when its convenient. Liked the Greek straw man from our girl in a whirl. The governors misdirection is pretty ballsy really. He acts as if everyone will believe every word that comes out of his mouth – without question. Here’s a quote for the governor – Politicians are like talking dogs in the circus. The fact that they exist at all is unendingly interesting, but now sane person would listen to anything they say…

Your thoughts on work are pretty telling, Dennis. So it’s about subservience to a boss (employees), selling things (merchants) or making money (entreprenuers)? Is there no value in work itself and a job well done?

Dear God

The right wing is setting the agenda. God help us. The “left” or should I say pseudo left Democratic Party and their apologists continue to let them do so.

This article is a perfect example. Focusing on Michelle Bachman and her thoughts, instead of what ordinary workers are doing in Wisconsin. Why give a crap what that nut job says or thinks. Same thing goes for that other right wing fruitloop Dennis says or thinks. Neither of these idiots have any facts to back any of their thoughts or beliefs.

CHAD

On your comments about what rights have we lost since Obama took office. The answer is none. However, the deeper question is, how many rights that we have lost has been regained since Obama took office is the same. None. In fact if anything the loss of rights and lack of accountability of those in power has been reinforced and deepened.

Although it could be argued that there are some losses. For example, the FBI are targeting peace activists in Minnesota (the Anti-War Committee and Women Against Military Madness) with Grand Jury investigations and infiltration. Under the very direct orders of Attorney General Eric Holder and the personal authorization of president Obama.

Not to mention the brutality heaped on long time peace and justice activist and former CIA analyst Ray McGovern for simply standing up and turning his back on Hillary Clinton, as she gave a speech on the brutality of protesters in Egypt.

These are a continuation of Cointel Pro (it did not go away, despite what has been said) so it is not really new.

However, these attempts to suppress dissent were not done by Bush and Company.

Dennis said: Public employees are paid with taxpayer money and then are using that taxpayer money to buy politicians to get them more taxpayer money. For those of you who had to go to government schools, that’s known as a conflict of interest, not to mention corrupt.
——————————————————————————-
Well, let’s remove “public employees” and fill in that blank with:
- corporations that do business with state and federal government
- drug companies, insurance companies, clinics, hospitals, etc. who are paid by medicare, medicade, VA, and any other programs
- farmers who receive government subsidies
- businesses that get gov grants, subsidies, and low tax deals
-politicians who give money to other candidates

We seem to agree that money can buy influence. That is the corrupt part. Get contributions out of campaigns. Workers – in unions or not – do not have the resources to “outbid” corporations.

Still waiting to hear about the sweetheart deals unions got from government in the last 10 – 12 years. Dems didn’t even push the Employee Free Choice Act in the last 2 years.

Chad- I agree that foreclosure is legal and right when a contract is broken. I was referring to the robo-signing and many other cases, such as when mortgages are sold many times without the home buyer being the payment should go to someone new. People who made payments – to the wrong place – have lost homes. People applying for refininacing and getting the runaround until it is too late. The dishonest lenders.

@ Michael Cavlan RN: Well said!

So Bachmann is upset because Obama supports legal collective bargaining. As a disabled veteran, I cannot understand why anyone would support her.

Because the rest of us veterans support patriots like Bachmann, not politicians who just buy your vote by promising to give you things paid for by someone else.

We thought we defeated collectivism and the mandatory mediocrity it represents when we destroyed the soviet union. I guess you weren’t there.

Larry: As Dennis has shown us again and again, they support Bachmann because they are morons. The Internet works for people like that because they cannot otherwise talk out of their assholes while their heads are up them.

Bachman is a moron and needs to go away. Walker is making a solid case to be considered as stupid as Bachman.

I have yet to hear one good reason to support Gov. Walker’s plan. I think it is a personal vendetta, nothing more. He will severely damage the economy of wisconsin for years to come. Walker is a single term governor if he doesn’t get recalled by the citizens of his state.

Denise,I,m a veteran and a patriot,however I have serious reservations about supporting individuals that clearly should be insitutionalized.

Walker was elected on his promise to do exactly what he is doing. The majority of the people of Wisconsin agree with him. Why do you think the cowardly dems ran away rather than have to vote? Because they’re in a no win situation because they know the people are with Walker against the collectivists who think the taxpayers owe them a lavish pay and benefits package for being in a meaningless job.
.

Dennis, honey, you should be up in arms against Bachmann; after all, she is receiving a lavish pay and benefits package courtesy of taxpayers including you for being in a meaningless job given she is doing anything but actually represent the 6th Congressional District of which you are probably not her constituent given Dennis Tester’s St. Paul address just off Summit Avenue which you freely divulged in a comment elsewhere.

I think it is very cowardly and infantile of the Wisconsin Republicans not to allow those across the aisle to participate in the political process, that those Democrat senators who are in hiding are being very brave in standing up to Governor Walker’s blatant union busting.

Dennis as a VETEREN you and the LOON don’t speak for me,you seem to think you can speak for all VETS.you have alot of trouble speaking for yourself.So take your “LOON COMMENT” about speaking for VETS and put it where the sun don’t shine.You and the “LOON” deserve each other two mental midgets who can’t stand the truth and are accomplished CHRISTIAN LIARS.

Oral Roberts picked Tulsa for his corrupt christian form of religion because he said as he was driving he saw a 900ft JESUS right outside of TULSA.Well it’s flat terrain around Tulsa so I would think someone else would have noticed.where does a 900ft man go to the Bathroom? This is the LOONS religion,following a man who claims to have seen a 900ft JESUS,is it any wonder she cosidered a “LOON and a MORON”

Dennis –

You are a hypocrite and a fraud.

Bravo, Brava to WI.

Evidently the protesters are getting support from all over the world. This is one of the best stories I’ve read yet!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/feb/21/pizza-latest-weapon-of-protest?INTCMP=SRCH

I do not put it past the Republican Governor of Wisconsin to crush protesters under tanks. Watching CAREFULLY.

Dennis,

I will stand with the workers without reservation.

Eric

To Dennis and other Bahcmann apologists!!!!

If it weren’t for Unions, people would be…

-working for piss poor wages(at the mercy of the employer)
-more than 40 hours a week
-no Sick time
-work 7 days a week
-lousy if any, benifits
-no paid vacation time
-in unsafe working conditions
-with no respect
and so forth.

So Dennis and others who believe Michele Bachmann’s every word…QUIT YOUR BITCHING!!!!

I stand with the workers of Wisconsin. Those who stand against the rights of workers, stand against humanity. BE REMINDED that Walker CREATED a budget deficit to be given the EXCUSE to engage in culture war – there was NO deficit in Wisconsin until Scott Walker CREATED one through kickbacks and illegitimate tax breaks to his corporate masters.

Organized labor’s numbers are shrinking year by year and for good reason. People don’t want to be tied to a marxist model where everyone gets the same pay and benefits regardless of competency which.

It results in job performance that matches the lowest common denominator, it rewards those who perform at minimum and it punishes those who try to excel.

You collectivists can organize and collectively bargain with any employer who’s willing to settle for substandard labor. But not on my dime. The taxpayers want and deserve public employees who are not tied to a union contract that sets a floor for acceptable performance and not a ceiling.

Most thinking people realize that having public employees who can collectively bargain their pay and benefits with politicians who then rely on their support come election time is a conflict of interest, corrupt, and probably unconstitutional.

It’s not just Governors like Scott Walker that want to BUST up the Unions, it’s other GOP Governors who want to do the same. They are quick to blame the workers for their state’s ills. That’s not going to happen.

Just as Admiral Yamamoto said after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, “What I have done is wake a sleeping tiger.”

Unions, Public or otherwise, are not going to take demands from paid off Leaders lying down. The Koch Brothers have their fingers in this mess. Donating over $40,000 to Scot Walker’s campaign to do their bidding, as these Billionaire Brothers have done all over the country. They pocket their Tax Cuts and Special privildges by laying off workers to add to their self worth!

Chris Christie and John Kasich are going to find out the hard way that Unions are not going to be bullied.
