Walker's fire-bombing of public education in Wisconsin (national perspective from WaPo)

[Still In Wisconsin]

7. I, for one, appreciate that.

I've never understood the trashing that goes on here sometimes against people in red states...as if the Republicans in those red states are here on DU posting stories. Obviously, WE are the ones trying to keep Wisconsin from turning deep red. Nothing feels worse than having democrats like the person who replied above, presumably hailing from states that are more blue than ours, look down their noses at us or even call US idiots...as if we actually like what Scott Walker has done to our state.

I still believe that this, too, shall pass. We have "given" this country Joe McCarthy and Scott Walker, but also Russ Feingold, Fightin' Bob LaFollette, and Tammy Baldwin, to name a few. The haters on DU who call us idiots now can check back in when we put Russ Feingold back in the Senate in '16!
