Victory in Wisconsin! Congratulations to Gov. Walker on a job well done.
Jeers to those protesting. I support the right to protest and I am glad that we live in a place where people don't get shot for demonstrating (Libya). My problem with those protestors are the signs that read "this is what democracy looks like" and comparing the Republicans to dictators. In fact this IS what democracy looks like! Just because you didn't get what you want does not mean the system failed. That law was passed legally by representatives who were elected by the people in a fair election. Democracy never broke down.
Keep protesting, but don't call the process unfair. The Dems that fled the state for a month to prevent a vote? Now THAT was undemocratic!
