March 1, 2011 - PPM - Wisconsin Only Plays Away Games

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is about the situation in Wisconsin.

President Obama said it best, shortly after his inauguration. "Elections have consequences. I won, you lost."

Well, now the tables are turned and the Democrats in WI and other places have forgotten this mantra. They decided to leave the state and shirk their duties.

I didn't realize Illinois was such a great travel destination in February. What was I thinking when I booked that trip to Florida?

What would happen if an employee didn't show up for their job for 2 or more weeks. Would they still get paid? Would they still have their jobs? Would they be able to DEMAND changes?

What is funny is that Rev. Jackson showed up and sang "We Shall Overcome?" Overcome what? Inflated pensions and benefits? My questions is where is Rev. Sharpton? Should we send out an Amber Alert?

If belonging to a Union is such a wonderful experience, why are their dues MANDATORY?

What is shameful is that no one talks about how the WI Education Union was the #1 political contributor in last year's WI election. Was this a good use of those MANDATORY dues? Oh course, it's about the children. The same children that had to sit home, while their teachers called in "sick" in order to protest.

I would recall and fire these cowardly politicians. They are guilty of fraud, malfeasance, and incompetence.

Forget the "union-busting" message that the media is promoting. If you have better ideas, run on them, get elected, and make changes.

LEAD, FOLLOW, OR GET THE HELL OUT OF WAY.
