Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican-controlled legislature have stirred national passions with their bold attacks on long-held rights of workers to organize. Now they’re making the state, once a leader in voter participation, the new ground zero for the national movement to restrict voting. There’s a connection between attacks on labor rights, voting rights, civil rights, women rights – perhaps best epitomized today by Gov. Walker’s patrons, the Koch brothers and their theology of private property rights and its golden rule: he who has the gold rules. Their elitist attitude and sense of entitlement feels threatened by pluralism, democracy, multi-racial cultures, even criticism. Money should be able to buy anything, even elections, and those who stand in the way can expect the bully treatment, as the author of the Koch expose in the New Yorker is now learning.

You play with slime, you get smeared. It’s what slime does.
Are you referring to the slime of public worker unions? Or are you referring to the slime of politicians who make promises to public worker unions regardless of costs just to buy their votes with no regard to the taxpayers.
I would be interested in knowing why my comment is awaiting moderation and Leo’s is not.
