I apologize for insulting your intelligence by making note of this. But perhaps one or two of you did not know that public employee unions are big time donors to Democrats. And those fleebagging Democrats in Wisconsin are no exception.
JS Online reported:
The Senate Democrats count on those in the public sector as a key funding source for their campaigns.
In fact, one out of every five dollars raised by those Democratic senators in the past two election cycles came from public employees, such as teachers and firefighters, and their unions, a Journal Sentinel analysis of campaign records shows.
“It’s very simple,” said Richard Abelson, executive director of District Council 48 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. “We have interests and because of that we attempt to support candidates who support our interests. It’s pretty hard to find Republicans who support our interests these days.”
Critics of Walker’s budget-repair bill say it would mean less union money for Democrats. That’s because the legislation would end automatic payroll deductions for dues and would allow public employees to opt out of belonging to a union.
According to records compiled by the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, the 14 Senate Democrats have raised a total of $1.9 million in campaign dollars since the start of 2007. Out of that sum, public employee unions and individual government workers contributed at least $344,000.
In truth, the figure may be even higher, but candidates don’t have to identify the occupations of those giving $100 or less.
In related news, Governor Walker told them they have until tomorrow to return, otherwise they will put the state’s credit rating at risk. Something tells me they don’t really care.

It’s OK for Dems to have big dollar donors…but NOT the Repubs.
That’s what the MSM keep telling us so it must be true.
