The Basis Behind Wisconsin

It looks as if things are about to explode in Wisconsin.

To keep it in perspective before the courts get involved, the basis of why Republicans are so adamant about breaking up unions is simply to disrupt Democratic voters.  Wisconsin senate majority leader even says so.

FITZGERALD: Well if they flip the state senate, which is obviously their goal with eight recalls going on right now, they can take control of the labor unions. If we win this battle, and the money is not there under the auspices of the unions, certainly what you’re going to find is President Obama is going to have a much difficult, much more difficult time getting elected and winning the state of Wisconsin.

It's that simple.

That's why Walker didn't target unions that endorsed him for governor. The whole thing is about destroying the Democratic base. It's politics at its worst.  They view Obama as an illegitimate president and the Democratic Party as an enemy.  When they say they are waging a battle for the future of America, they're very serious about it.
