We Won Wisconsin - But The Fight Goes On

[cbecks31]

This video is riddled with factual inaccuracies. It favors Republican states and severally overstates the debt of Democratic States. It says Connecticut has a debt of 70 billion, when it's really closer to half of that and it says Texas has a debt of 72 Billion when it's more than double that. Of course FreedomWorks has NO ETHICAL DILEMMA putting this up because they are willingly a propaganda machine. That's all.

[Kritacul]

Unions are not right.

If there is a Union in a Private business, good for that business, I have no stake in it.

But in a Public Union, I PAY FOR THAT.

Public Unions are WRONG and should be outlawed.

Unions are a major reason why there is sooooo much debt, because like leeches they suck you dry.

GET RID OF PUBLIC UNIONS!!!

[nitagirl614]

@Kritacul I agree and they also teach people to have an Entitltment Mentality.

[PescadoPescados]

All this debt - and we just increased military spending. When was the last time we even heard of a credible terrorist threat?

Why are we sending our boys to die in far away lands? We can't even afford to feed the disabled vets returning stateside... and we spend even more on war?

Some people - like our wounded war heroes - need some help. They can't work, can't eat, can't pay rent.

These guys gave everything for America. Our heroes. They deserve better.

[PescadoPescados]

When we go to war for almost a decade straight, while cutting taxes, it is a recipe for disaster. Conservative politicians who got us into this mess - not teachers, workers or unions. Who caused the debt? Who cut taxes while increasing military spending?

Unions caused this debt?

When we are still spending 1.8 billion each for outdated cold war submarines, with plans to build 30 more...

We give huge tax breaks to oil corporations.

Give billions to banks and corrupt financial institutions.

[scarlett156]

I used to be a government employee--first for the City and then for the State--in the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. I routinely saw the worst side of public employees and their bogus unions, in my job, and I feel somewhat vindicated by this and other videos like it because hardly anyone believed me at the time. Now the whole world can see what a bunch of assclowns these public employee union people are! Nice work. :)

[bek12]

Propaganda. Thumbs down to your agenda.

[MultiplicityMe]

Truth is..when people feel like they are under attack or being treated unfairly..they protest and organize. It's the American Way. Just do some homework. Civil Right Movement. Woman's Suffrage Movement....and on and on...this is nothing new. It's the American Way! Long live America! Long live protests!

[klebeouf1]

it's interesting that when leftist like unions and those who are beholding to the union political money, most Democrates, protest they are labeled a "Democracy Momement' or other grand and patriotic terms. When those on the right organize (in a much more lawfull and peaceful way), they are put on Homeland Security list and vilified at every turn. The hypocrisy illuminates the weakness of your conviction.

Most people in the country in the private sector are just hsppy to have a job.

[jeanne72]

I think I am going to throw up

[BNPPeace]

This is a propaganda flick, with the intent of encouraging working people to blame teachers, the fire fighters and the police force for state's budget problems. Gov Walker caused the shortage of funds this situation by forcing tax cuts. The root of the problem is that the mega-corporations don't pay their fair share of taxes. We are not broke. We have been robbed by Gov.Walker. The 08 bailout of the banks and insurance companies doubled the national debt. Where is the outrage over that?

[carlgables]

A consensus of economic historians believt it was the effort to balance the budgets in 1936 and 1937 that caused the slip back into recession. If you are interested in facts, check out the economic growth curves that slipped back that year. FDR was not a socialist--he saved capitalism. And if we had a safety net that was even more secure, like Scandanavia, well that is not the end of the world. I do business over there and they are thriving.

[carlgables]

These deficits are driven by lower tax revenues because of the economic crash. Who ran the economy into the ground? Republicans!

[SaraCHAII]

One hundred and sixty billion dollars in debt NEW JERSEY???  and California what???? WTF?!

[mrjericho5701]

Obama,...the 20th Hijacker?,.....at best this guy is definatly the worst president in our history,...

[MunfyKun]

@mrjericho5701 You know nothing about our history then. I'm not arguing that Obama is a wonderful president, but I certainly can't have a kid on a computer somewhere read your hyperbolic rhetoric and believe you. Calling Obama the worst president is an insult to President Grant, President Harding, and President Johnson that dedicated so much of their time to incompetence.

[mrjericho5701]

@MunfyKun Well thats your opinion and any kid today will find entire books on how bad Obama is,......GRANT was actually a pretty good president compared to O-bumer

[MunfyKun]

@mrjericho5701 That is most certainly NOT my opinion- the consensus of political scientists and historians is that he is currently the 14th best president (according to the Siena Research institute). Grant is consistently ranked among the bottom 5 presidents.

I find it increasingly difficult to argue with you about this when, with each successive comment, I find that you've made up more false information.

[mrjericho5701]

@MunfyKun anyone who thinks Obama is the 14th best president is either retarded or a left wing organization,..well guess that would make them retarded to

[MunfyKun]

@XxlivinwithitxX Your words, again, betray your lack of historical knowledge. FDR has been called "the greatest American conservative since Hamilton." According to Professor of History at Stanford David Kennedy, he was very much a middle of the road president.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@MunfyKun Excuse me but the thoughts of one person in America is not justifiable proof.

[MunfyKun]

@XxlivinwithitxX Yes, but the thoughts of an expert historian certainly outweigh that of the general public, as well as your own. When I want to figure out the reason for my orthostatic hypotension, I ask a doctor- I don't yell out my window or ask Mrs. Brown next door.

But if unanimity is your wish, then his being "the greatest conservative since Hamilton" was actually agreed upon by a plethora of historians. It was only the "middle of the road" comment that was said by just one professor.

[mrjericho5701]

@MunfyKun FDR was a far left progressive whose massive spending and big government power grabs is still causing problems today.His "New Deal" pro-longed the depression by years,when every other country at the time came out of it in months,Like all on the left he was a tax,borrow and spend liberal progressive,who after leaving office,congress changed the law to make sure someone like FDR never stays in office more than 2 terms

[maronfan]

@mrjericho5701 FDR was a moderate who saved capitalism by co-opting the working class, which was a great achievement. Don't you have any sense of history? You ignorant, right-wing, capitalist pigs should be grateful to him for saving it and building the American Dream that we all have enjoyed. You are just another shill for the teabagging Koch Brothers.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@maronfan Aww if you only understood that the programs he helped create are now bankrupting America!

[maronfan]

@XxlivinwithitxX No, it's the tax cuts on the rich and the Bush Terrorist Administration that have led to a deficit. Don't you understand basic economics or are you a shill for the royalists.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@maronfan LOL! Yes, I can tell I already know more than you. If you think that is the only thing that lead to the deficit and debt, I feel sorry for you.

[maronfan]

@XxlivinwithitxX Really? Where did you study economics? Looks like you are more of a shill for the capitalist aristocracy. One of the legion of dogs who follows the propaganda of your pig masters the teabagging Koch Brothers. I feel sorry for you xx. You are a fool for these criminal fascists. Wake up - they are using you.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@maronfan Yada yada. I've heard it all before. Get some better insults.

[mrjericho5701]

@maronfan First off,who the Hell is Koch Brothers?,...Also FDR was a "Cronie-Capitalist" just like Obama,they pick looser's and winner's in the Market and do mostly Favoritism,which creates more corruption,...example GE's top man and close buddy of Obama gives Obama millions during his run for president,obama gets elected now GE dont have to pay taxes.The Left thinks this is a Free-Market Capitalist system. FDR and Obama give Capitalism a bad name. You have been brain washed by the Looney Left

[maronfan]

@mrjericho5701 You don't even know who the Koch brothers are and you are discussing Freedomworks. They are the main funders.  Do your homework you ignorant apologist for the fascist reich.

[carlgables]

@mrjericho5701 Germany didnt come out of it it months idiot--their crisis brought in Hitler and WWII where 70 million people died around the world. But, of I forgot, you people never let history or the facts confuse your simplistic ideology.

[mrjericho5701]

@carlgables Thats actually true,Germany did not come out of it in months as most every other country did,Germany like America had to many Liberal-Socialist's idea's making a mess of things,..just as America does today.

But the facts clearly show FDR prolonged the depression in America then WWII got us out of it,...maybe wwII saved America from a Socialist nightmare

[mrjericho5701]

@MunfyKun FDR and Obama are far left Liberal progressives,...does not matter some lefty professor say's otherwise.

Hamilton was not a Conservative Republic,he was a Federalist,which is more like today's Liberal

[maronfan]

@mrjericho5701 No Obama and FDR are/were moderates. You are simply trying to redefine the frame here. The left would be Eugene Debs, Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, Abbie Hofffmann, Mike Malloy, etc. Obama is another corporatist middle-of-the-road sell-out. 

[MunfyKun]

@mrjericho5701 Do the citizens of America really know NOTHING about American History? Are you kidding me??? Hamilton- a liberal!? He was the most conservative and nationalistic of the Founding Fathers of the US.

It may be true that some of the liberal ideals of that time are now that conservative ideals of today, but political ideology is measured by the criteria of its time period, not using the criteria of today.

[gailylouise]

This is awsome, awsome!!!

What is wrong with people out there anyway?????

Wake up America.

Can you believe the Media that was putting down "any" kind of speech from the other side and putting down the Tea Party is now doing soooo much worse!!!

[Gilbert1776]

@MassachusettsPatriot Please stop using that word to describe human beings. I agree with the sentiment as applied to his words and actions wholeheartedly, but please stop using that word.

[Freedan111]

Nice vid and definitely love the back ground music.

[rollsi1]

Great job on this!

[dteselle]

Join Freedom Connector to get involved with your US congressional district and county. Then, you can see what local groups are doing near you. Stand with the people who are working to save the republic if you care about our children's future.

[1cookiegil]

Difference between public and private workers being unionized. Private employees unionize. Union pay, benefits, pensions, right to work demands time and time again result in higher priced products and goods or outsourcing. As a consumer, I HAVE A CHOICE. I choose to not buy the product or buy something else. Public union employee. I HAVE NO CHOICE! With self serving politicians and union demands, I MUST PURCHASE THE "PRODUCT" WITH MY TAX DOLLARS. HOW IS THIS RIGHT?!

[1cookiegil]

This is not a democratic or republican problem. This a political problem driven by self serving politicians interested in re-election and special interests. Term limits are essential to do away with self serving politicians, life time benes, and special interests. We need "patriots" who will do what is RIGHT for the country; not politicians who work for themselves. Educate yourself, my friends. No one said life was easy. Simply know the truth and defend it no matter how painful.

[Marathonmarch]

The reason states are in trouble is because of more than one reason, besides corporate tax breaks and citizens demanding lower tax rates there are the thieves in the mix as well. Then there was that matter of bailing out banks and insurance firms. Some say conspiracy and others say just a bunch of monkeys with banks and nuclear bombs

[dionusos2]

Wait, you won? Walker's budget solution isn't opposed by most of his state residents. If anything, it was one battle the teabaggers won. But they shot down whatever chance they had at compromise (meaning effecting their theocratic aristocratic-anarchism will fail in purple & blue states)

[MunfyKun]

If "won in Wisconsin" means stripped the people of the right to collective bargaining, a right that was supported by Ronald Reagan the father of modern conservatism, then yes- you won.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@MunfyKun And FDR didn't support it! Isn't that ironic?

[MunfyKun]

@XxlivinwithitxX That isn't ironic in the least- although I certainly do feel that it's irrelevant. Before the 1960's, conservatives were democrats and liberals were republicans. Indeed, if Abraham Lincoln had still been around today, he would've been ostracized by his fellow GOP members as a liberal. As a child of the era of the mass "flip-flop" of democrats and republicans, FDR's position on this issue is, in a way, both expected and unexpected because of the precariousness of his era.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@MunfyKun FDR may have been a Democrat, but he certainly wasn't a conservative. He was a die-hard Liberal.

[DOHC2L]

If only our economy could regulate our Government...

Taxes would be low...

Poverty would be rare...

Employment would be high...

and the Dollar would be strong...

[AnEarthPilot]

Tax the rich.

[meodrowski]

@AnEarthPilot Why? Jealous that they worked hard and built up companies for us all to work for? Or are you unemployeed too?

[YoungIvyScholar]

RON PAUL WILL SAVE US!

RON PAUL FOR USA 2012!

[PsykoOps]

How is it that you won in wisconsin if you first of all broke the law and now you've been busted for that???

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@PsykoOps If you are talking about how the bill was passed and the judge's ruling, I can assure you the bill will be passed again.

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

Joe Biden....LOL just LOL

[20isenuf08]

This character (bapyou) that commented that the ones that are concerned and saying something are the ones that are retarded, is totally a silly goof! First off, the definition for 'retarded " is slow. Sorry to break this to bapyou, but if you haven't heard that the USA is in finacial problems, I would suggest to you that you are a little "slow". Don't critisize responsible people. Your words are demonstrating that you're irresponsible and because of people like YOU, our country is in trouble.

[btwall60]

This post is the reason why Owebummer has GOT TO GET OUT OF THE USA, ie North America this week coming up. He's had all his buddies over to the W/house in non-public meetings except when he took the award for "openess" :)what a joke. Anyway, he will be "out of town brown" again. He needs a new "crises" to get done what he wants. I'm getting bad vibes about this trip. he's got all of his appointed people "inspecting" nuclear plants, well, hope I'm wrong.

HavFun mr. Prez while Japan burns.

[btwall60]

@MassachusettsPatriot

I did not see Biden for about two weeks in a row about 2 months ago, I think he had another aneurysm and they are not letting it out. Did you see him eff up that speech about the Russian guy? He could not pronounce his name over and over again. He looked like a dunce.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

Favorited! 

[GaeilgeChannel]

Labor won? That's news to me...

[AnEarthPilot]

@GaeilgeChannel If you didn't work in a mine and instead went to school as a child, then yeah... labor won.

[DOHC2L]

@AnEarthPilot You're such an idiot... you're telling us that if we didn't have labor unions we wouldn't have any worker rights and that's just a fat lie.

[ugha323a]

We are going to have to build a stronger more resistant army, b/c they ***ARE*** going to hurt people.

COME ON MEN FOR GODS SAKES WHAT THE FU*K ARE YOU WAITING ON

[faustmanv]

This ad is perfect! Don't change a thing. This encapsulates the irresponsible national fiscal problem perfectly. Now what are we going to do about it? I say we can cut 30% in every government department across the board right now. Then we can dismantle and discard almost every useless 'Department of' Government institution in existence. Cut and end all the paper pushing jobs which amounts to about 98% of Government. Time to Lay Off people that make far more than we do. Off the Govt teat liberals

[TimeLady8]

That looks like a movie trailer. Coming in November 2012 ! The advantage Texas and Virginia have in this union battle is that collective bargaining is already illegal for govt workers.

[janetby17]

Yeah!!!!

[jldkrank]

This is how Home Front is going to start!

[FarRightLass]

we are going to have so many powerful vids like this come 2012, all the violence in Wisconsin,all the threats . This is great.

[ziglet53]

Love it! Make it go viral and donate to spread it all over cable tv!

[JTHELSTROM]

Excellent video!

[mintycrys]

To paraphrase what a noted Nobel Peace Prize winner once famously exclaimed:

"We won."

[espada9]

The sad part is for 8 years the Republicans did the same thing, the GOP only talks spending cuts when the Democrats are in office. One more reason why I left the GOP, I’ll vote 3rd party or perhaps a few Libertarian minded Republicans like Ron Paul. None of this matters now as it’s too late, hope you own plenty of silver and LEAD.

[HangProgressives]

@espada9 8 really? hmmm i guess in 2006 when dems gained control of both houses dont count eh?

[jimandmarcus]

@espada9 You are right-in the last few years most republicans HAVE been acting like democrats. But hopefully, a new more conservative style are being elected now. Rove, the Bushes, and McCain need to go back to the farm.

[DwightSimpson]

Eat, Drink, and be Merry for tomorrow we shall................. (do not the liberals get it?)

[xxxxxxxpimptaddyone]

Damn Right We Won...!!! And this is only the beginning...!!!

[savgal1211]

If these useful idiots really had a REALISTC legal point, wouln't they be at the State House battling it out? No, they bang on bongoes and detroy the state house!! Rotten and filth and lower than amoebas!! Their Nascent intellect is not as high as a Gnats!!

They are a waste of good oxygen!! They want to get tough? Come on Down South!! Any good Country boy would have you gutted in a New York second!!

[savgal1211]

PLUGS Biden!!

[fatbow]

Ummm...Hey Koch Brothers, correction at :17 seconds, Alaska has a +12 billion dollar surplus, FYI. And if you are trying to claim there is an unfunded pension liability of $14 billion, you're wrong on that too. Latest figures show the pension's unfunded liability at around $8 billion, and we've been using our budget reserve to pay that debt down at a clip of $.5 billion a year. But I guess that doesn't work for your narrative, eh? I wonder how many of your numbers for other states are fudged.

[jimmystartup]

@fatbow Pretty sure they are talking about Public Debt. Alaska is about $100Billion shy of their debt ceiling so the figure posted is correct. Assuming they are talking Public Debt.

[jbpnw]

Of course the liberals will continue with... 'it's Bush' fault."

[theR0nin]

Funny how bapyou and his ilk don't respond to the issues, all they can do it try to launch personal attacks. Hey, guess what? Any eight-year-old can type out a profanity-laced, lie-filled diatribe; it doesn't actually mean anything.

[tbouquet]

Love it! Thanks Freedom Works for helping to save our Country.....keep up the good work and get this on national TV.

[Tobes500]

The unions dont care about anything but the unions. ban them all in everystate as far as state local governments.

[bapyou]

PAID for by Koch Industries.

FreedomWorks is a phoney front group for far right wing bozos to attack working people.

They've been attacking working people since the Reagan admin, but they always wave the flag as they do it. If you are wokring class, these people do NOT have your interests at heart. This is fear tactics write LARGE. These deficits are phoney baloney.

Corporate whore Scott Walker gave away 117 bil. in tax relief to corporations after taking office. There's your deficit!

[Tobes500]

@bapyou unlike moveon and the Democrat and union shills?

[bapyou]

@Tobes500 Repugnantklans are shameless pigs. And the morons who support them are just that: morons.

Pigs is what they are: Pigs. Scum-sucking fucking scum pig fuck scum. They need to have their skulls bashed in. They are bloodless weasels.

Scott Walker is a cross-eyed, congenitally-corrupt, low-IQ weasel. In other words, the perfect representative for the Repugnantklan Party: The party of corporate whores.

[Tobes500]

@bapyou Whats that say for the dumbass democrats and the power hungry union dumbass HE BEAT. But I see how you are so polite and proper upstanding person WITH A FOUL MOUTH LIKE THE REST OF YOUR CRONIES UNION DUMBOCRAT SCUMBAG WHORES

have a nice day in your misery Dont worry your welfare checks will still be sent your way Some of us work while lazy asses like you keep putting your hand in my pants and not giving me a thrill like the whores you all are

[KevinSanAngelo]

@bapyou - is Repugnantklan supposed to be humorous? You are obviously ignorant of history. The "Klan" part of your silly rant would better apply to Democrats. Look it up. Southern Democrats make up almost all of "the Klan" as far back as there was a Klan. Republicans fought to end slavery from the very beginning of the Republic.

[ConservaBill]

@KevinSanAngelo .... Your irrelevance precedes you... so... mind your manors child.... ;)

[KevinSanAngelo]

@bapyou - My apologies. My comment was supposed to post on Tobes500. His ignorant rant is typical of violent and ridiculous union thugs.

@ConservaBill - First, I think you misread my comment. By "manors" I assume you mean "manners". As a 24 year Air Force Veteran and a father of four, I think "child" is an ignorant statement.

[savgal1211]

@bapyou Yes, a Useful idiot spewin out nasty filth, but never rational, cogent, well thought out arguments. Nothing logical. This sort of carbon based life form just marinates in envy and his rage at a man more succesful than he is , that is the food this organism thrives on. You are this parasite who is not capable of indepenednce or success!!

You want wealth? GO EARN IT!! If you wantviolence, if that is your only means to get your ill way, have at it, but don;t say you weren't warned!!

[dijhili]

@bapyou everything you just ranted about shows exactly who is retarded. Thank you.

[bapyou]

@dijhili Scott Walker is a cross-eyed, congenitally-corrupt, low-IQ weasel. Just look at his eyes: congenital corruption crossed married to the blank stare of low IQ incomprehension. In other words, Scott Walkwhore epitomizes the perfect representative for the Repugnantklan Party: The party of corporate whores.

[meodrowski]

@bapyou where did all the Democrats run? Ever ask yourself why THEY didn't do their job and show up and vote? When they walked (sneaked) out THEY robbed you of your voice! Don't blame the Republicans for doing what their constituents voted them in to do!

[bapyou]

@meodrowski "Don't blame the Republicans for doing what their constituents voted them in to do!"

Not once during his campaign did the cross-eyed, congentially-corrupt, low-IQ weasel mentioned union-busting. That's what numerous Republicans changed party when they saw what whores Repig politicans truly are.

You may stand on the side of wealthy pigs, which you seem to want to do. I stand with working people always.

Go and kiss ass. It is what you're good at doing.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@bapyou What are you talking about? No Republicans "changed party". Union members are working people, but why do they deserve to be treated better than everyone else?

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@bapyou Troll. 

[bapyou]

@XxlivinwithitxX Unprincipled whore.

[XxlivinwithitxX]

@bapyou You're crazy man. And close to mentally retarded.

[dijhili]

@bapyou most successful businessmen in America are college / high school drop out. With our current educational system, I find it wiser to drop out and learn on your own. Most teachers these days are useless.

BTW, most corporate donations are giving to the democratic party, so why are the republicans the whores? Just look at California if you want to see a democratic policy towards business. They are all leaving! Duh

[Gripfang]

No, Walker ensured you LOST Wisconsin.

The bill was passed anyway(through VERY shady means) and collective bargaining rights are now gone for unions in WI.

[wutbothersme]

OMG, what is this song, someone please tell me, I have to have it.

[kasplatter23]

Remind me again why it's the working and middle classes who *have* to pay for the negligence of Wall Street and Washington.

[Cortelco1]

Cut this down to 1 minute and get it on national TV ~ NOW!

AWESOME!

[benhoweblog]

@Cortelco1 Would 30 seconds and state specific work? :) Go look at FW's channel, they've already got a 30 second spot up for Ohio.

[Gilbert1776]

@Cortelco1 A most excellent idea!!
