Democrats up in America's Dairyland tasted some sour milk last night as they came up 2 seats short in their efforts to oust the GOP from their control of the State Senate so they can start blocking GOP Governor Scott Walker's legislative agenda.
Granted, they snagged 2 seats from the Republicans- but the Cheeseheads get to go to the polls AGAIN next week for 2 more recall elections, this time 2 Democrats (part of the original Gang of 14 that fled the state in an attempt to block Walker's union busting bill.) So any optimism Dems might be feeling this morning might evaporate quickly as of next week.
Ultimately, things are going to change- in Wisconsin and across the nation and as I was telling The Quiet Man last night it would help enormously if the 'Left' came down off it's horse a bit and plugged into the cold hard reality of the situation. Not everyone's going to retire at 65, not everyone gets free health care and everyone needs to stop feeling so damn entitled to things. Especially when no one is willing to pay the taxes to get them. I don't care how progressive and 'selfless' you are, you know damn well that if there's a way for you not to pay as much, you'll take it.
Money talks, kids. That's how America works today.
