In Scott Walker Recall Race, Organized Labor’s Pick Falls Short

[EastCheats]

Dan Graham, whose first love was the cavalry, liked to quote an old proverb. For want of a nail, the shoe was lost; for want of the shoe, the horse was lost; for want of the horse, the battle was lost.

That proverb defines his place in history. For want of Dan Graham, Ronald Reagan would not have had the vision of a defense against ballistic missiles called the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI); for want of Reagan's leadership, the United States would not have had a project called SDI; and for want of the SDI project and the threat of what it could do, the Cold War would have been lost.
It is now clear that we won the Cold War when Mikhail Gorbachev reluctantly concluded that he couldn't talk Reagan out of SDI (at Geneva or elsewhere), and that the miserable Soviet economy couldn't match U.S. expenditures for building a nuclear defense. When Reagan called on Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, the media laughed; but SDI turned that "pie-in-the-sky" prediction into reality.

Kev not speaking of the vote last night. Since government union membership became optional in Wisconsin over half have left the union. The message is clear they were in the union only because they had to be by law.

Over half have "left the union?" What does that mean?

Does that factor in the mass retirements?

How 'bout people whose unions decided not to play Walker's game with it's high hurdles of certification, instead choosing to funnel those resources towards advocacy.

If they're still voluntarily paying, does that count as "leaving?"

Carter's work on human rights affecting Poland couldn't have had any effect on bringing down the hollow central planning of the Soviet Union, right? That wouldn't fit the narrative.

Maybe change the mandatory membership requirement where applicable nationwide and see how well it bodes.
What is your prediction on that?

TDR are you just talking out your rear?

More then half left the union, adios amigos! They do not pay dues, no cert issues the same unions that previously existed.

My stat was wrong 1/3 of the Sate Employees have not left the union, but 50% in less than a year! So half the union members in a heavy union state will be in the union only if the law compels them to.

Your stats may reflect government outsourcing, which has been going on under the radar for years. Government outsources jobs to non-union companies, otherwise they would have to pay the same wage as current UNION employees. So don't believe the numbers that don't contain variables.

Reagan meant business and he's the reason there is no longer a Berlin Wall or Soviet Union.

And thus bringing the East sewers to pollute the West.

It goes without saying that the SDI project was probably a Blind Man's Bluff.

Maybe the Wall came down because we missed the real plan!

It's burying us from within like Khrushchev said. Ironic, ain't it?!!!

Ah ha......a person with recollection. I like that.

Lenin went a little further:

"The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."
