In reply to the discussion: OOPS! Willard Romney: We Don’t Need ‘More FIREMEN, More POLICEMEN, More TEACHERS’ [View all]Spitfire of ATJ
(32,723 posts)46. What are you you guys talking about? I love this idiot!
He just blew a major Republican talking point for us! Come on! There was NO WAY the media was going to connect "government workers" with police, firefighters and teachers no matter how many times one of us said it.
The media and the Republicans talked about "government workers" as if they were contemptible useless paper pushers serving no real function apart from collecting a paycheck.
Now, thanks to Mitt and his big mouth WE own the debate with the American People over whether we need more teachers, police and firefighters. Three jobs that have traditionally earned respect in our communities.

The 53% win in WI was about not overturning a previous election, NOT a hatred of cops and firemen.
