Cops and Firefighters turning against the GOP?

The liberal media isn't doing their job and talking much about this story yet, but it's making its rounds in places like HuffPo and the like. I won't bother to link until I find more objective sources (aside from this), but let me share what I've heard thus far and hope I haven't been punked by an elaborate April Fool's joke

I've meant to post about this, but the four key states (Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, and Michigan): all the Republican governors won by pretty small voter margins. Currently, public opinion polls show that if the election were held today, some would lose as much by 20 points; and this is going to have a major impact on elections as soon as this November* (e.g. where the anti union law passed could be held for a referendum if enough signatures are gathered within the next 90 days, there by nullifying the bill just signed, pending the vote in November). Those are key states that any presidential candidate needs to win, all states that Obama won in 2008, interestingly enough.

* and that's not including recall efforts in several of those states for either state house officials or the governor.

Yeah this whole thing has been a boom for the Democrats so far, they finally found an issue that resonates with mainstream America and for once they aren't being timid in capitalizing on it.

Frankly I was hoping the Dems were on the way out, we need to break the duopoly they hold on our government with the Repubs.

As opposed to the GOP with its philandering diaper-wearing boy-diddling "Ban Gay marriage and keep queers out of the army because Jesus sez so" paragons of morality and honesty? Bringing up dishonesty in politics is like noticing there's blood in a slaughterhouse or skunks smell bad. The answer is "yes, and so?".

Dishonest about what exactly?

Nope, they just needed to tell folks that Scott Walker was trying to take away collective bargaining.

Or do you somehow think telling people that is dishonest?

It's very simple: Rachel Maddow was wrong about a Wisconsin budget surplus. Ergo, the Democrats are dishonest and pleasepaynoattentiontotheclasswarfarebehindthecurtain.

Anyone involved in class warfare is a communist and must be kicked out of America ASAP

(unless it's warfare that favors the rich)
