Walker and Reports of Waning Enthusiasm

Governor Scott Walker and his party are facing a massive recall in the Dairy State.

The Wisconsin media suggests that enthusiasm is waning for Governor Walker because fewer Tea Party patriots have rallied to support him. Polls indicate that public opinion is currently evenly split. National fervor will certainly stimulate a successful resistance to the recall effort.

Liberal bloggers are railing that Walker is getting most of its financial support from the Koch brothers. Yet the left-wing elements that occupied Madison last year and pummeled the airwaves with anti-Walker rhetoric have drawn on the dues and donations of public sector unions, commanding contributions for an impressive campaign warchest, long before Citizens United allowed any other corporation to fund political speech.

The public unions’ hollow double standard -- which tarnishes Governor Walker and his donation allies as anti-union, anti-progress, anti-Wisconsin --all fall apart in the face of the limited, elitist, selfish hypocrisy from the left. These Liberal elements are bitter that every Wisconsinite now can have a say about the founding and funding of state government, not just public sector unions, who have coalesced money,  power, and prestige without the consent of their rank-and-file members.

Governor Walker accomplished what executives across the country have not mustered the guts to do:  curb public unions at the behest of the public interest. Beyond big corporations, the entire nation  is defending Walker because he defends the welfare and well-being of the whole country and his state, not the myopic, self-interested public unions.
