Palin Sends Message to Wisc. Protesters: ‘Wrong Fight at the Wrong Time’

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Sarah Palin says union members protesting Wisconsin Republicans‘ plan to help balance the state’s budget by cutting collective bargaining rights are taking up “the wrong fight at the wrong time.”

Palin weighed in on the debate in a Friday night posting on her Facebook page but didn’t indicate whether she would join weekend conservative counter-protests organized by groups including the Tea Party Patriots and Americans for Prosperity.

In the posting addressed to “union brothers and sisters,” Palin says Wisconsin taxpayers shouldn’t be asked to pay for benefits “that are not sustainable.“ She says ”real solidarity means everyone being willing to sacrifice”:

My message then and now to good union brothers and sisters is that you have another option. You don’t have to kowtow to the union bosses who are not looking out for you, but instead are using you. You can join millions of other union members in a commonsense movement to help fight for the right causes in our great country – for budgets that share the burden in a truly fair way and for commonsense reforms that take power away from vested interests like union bosses and big business lobby groups, and put it back where it belongs – with “We the People.”

New Republican Gov. Scott Walker insists the concessions he‘s seeking from public workers are necessary to deal with Wisconsin’s projected $3.6 billion budget shortfall and to avoid layoffs.

    The Wis. unions are doing no more than biting the hands that literally feed them. They can easily be replaced by non-union workers. That way instead 4 people doing a job we can have 1 competant person. I’ve worked in unions and know this to be true, very true..

    Sarah Palin is correct.
    Obama’s using the unions as pawns in this his war against the laws of the land and those who are there to implement those laws. Obama is trying to create dissension through instigation by having the DNC send in 25,000 rebel rousers and riotous thugs to create havoc and deflect any and all attention away from his own personal failings as President. By deflecting the nations eyes away from his mismanagement of the economy Obama believes he can use the riots that he engineered to put him in a better light for the 2012 election, by giving himself an enemy that he himself created through the unions that he can attack and say they subverted the change he had in mind. A dirty political game where Obama is pitting the Unions of the State against the States of the Union.
    Obama is the problem not the Governor nor Wisconsin.

    “This is not the fight your looking for” She wants to send a “message” to the good little union workers of Wisconsin, who are not intelligent enough to know what they are fighting for or who is on their side. She seems to be OK with employees having the right to collectively bargain with employers, just not OK with employees actually using those collective bargaining rights by protesting.

      It is illegal in the state of Wisconsin for teachers to strike…apparently there seems to be a vast difference between a work stoppage and a strike….I don’t see it but I guess the judge who refused to order the teachers back to their jobs sees it. The politicians should be impeached. I hope they get the 15,000 signatures necessary for the recall. It shouldn’t be too hard. This whole things disgusts me.

    Fire them all. Maybe they‘ll see what it’s like in the real world where people get fired, laid-off, pay for their own benefits (or a good portion thereof). Those teachers that act like this should be fired immediately. They are in dereliction of their duty. They don’t care about the children. Dang whinebags! I know some really good teachers but there are some really horrible ones too. You know, there used to be a saying, “Those that can’t do, teach.” Now, I don’t totally agree with that saying but how many of these people in the crowd could really hold a job where they have to produce? Heck, many whine about having to take tests, get their students up to standards, etc. By the way, I wanted to be a teacher at one time and sat in many “education” courses. What a lot of hogwash. It’s more about feel-good nonense than actually teaching.

    I‘ve heard that there was a time when the wee children who couldn’t land a job in the sweatshops were forced to stay home and starve to death. Some would say that the unions made conditions better for those fortunate enough to find work, but I wonder how many of those who starved to death were helped by the unions.

    And here in America, the “labour” union is almost completely non-existent. The bulk of the unions represent over-paid, under-worked featherbedders on the government rolls. All around the country there are school boards staffed, not by school teachers themselves, but rather by their spouses, siblings, cousins, or other fellow-travellers. The result has been widespread devastation of America’s intellect, massive fraud in compensation, and exaltation of the teaching profession which consists today of third-rate buffoons.

      Sahara is right, but unfortunately her words are falling on deft ears. Those protesting in Wisconsin are the hard core union members, and the sheeple. The hard core believe that they have a “right” to the benefits they are getting, and the sheeple are to weak to form any opinion, so they just follow along, and of cores you have the students who are there just to make a stand (any stand) to prove they have a voice and they are some how meaning full in this world. Truthfully they are just to stupid to know what really going on

      As a member of the IBEW let me tell you most Union members (at lest here in Vegas) do not support what Union bosses are doing. We are gun toting, God fearing, America loving Conservatives, and understand that when times are good, you grab as much as you can. On the other hand in down times you have to give back, because if we kill the company’s that we work for… well we wont have ANY work. We don’t want hand outs from the government, we want to work for a fair wage support our families and enjoy our time off.

      I agree with the need for unions to give back some so that the budgets can be more manageable. The trend seems to be attacking the middle class only. we need a fair tax.
      Labor Laws within this country have been largely influenced by Unions, and thats a good thing. Although some union bosses are corrupt and manipulate the Dems/Libs to an extent, so are the CEO’s and Boards of the Corporations manipulating the Rinos and Neocons. Reform is definitely needed at both ends of the spectrum. The pay cuts, sharing more of the Health costs are something that is worth negotiating with. However, to remove a unions collective bargaining, and organizing rights by changing them or eliminating them all together will allow the corporations to abuse the american worker once again. I believe that the corporations also need to have their taxes reduced, but only if they are the result of making AMERICAN JOBS. The US Commerce Dept stated that Corporations posted profits of 1.6 trillion in the third quarter of 2010. That is the highest it has been since they kept records 60yrs ago. Our polices drive the jobs to other countries. (thanks NAFTA and our functioning congress) and we borrow from our traditional enemy which now has the jobs and our DEBT. Now we signed our liberty to our enemy, and the corporations seem to have a sweet deal. But everyone thinks that it is simply the workers of America who are the blame because they are in a Union. During the America’s Golden years we had strong union membership and we also had factories everywhere and made everything. Now We make nothing, and we attack the worker (who is now at 19% real unemployement) Instead we are told not to work (Ill extend your Unemployment benefits) and told to Consume.(so the corps make money)

      We have to take some painful choices. Yes the Unions should renegotiate with the states and limit the hurt, but the Corporations also should be driving the economy here into America, not out of America. F The Globalists. Get U.S. Working again and we will help the rest of the world out again.
      Most of the Labor Laws that we take for granted are the result of Unions fighting for them. Child Labor laws, Compensation for unsafe conditions, basic safety, lunch breaks, prevailing wages, Retirement plans. Renegotiate with them, dont destroy them handicapping the right to organize and bargain. Unions are necessary for keeping the corporations also in check from abusing us and not allowing our economy to support true middle class jobs.

      This is just my opinion. Im tired of Power faction (be it the Lib/Socialists or the Rino Corps) IWe the People to TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES FIRST without Killing ourselves in the process, We must be mindfull of the propaganda from both the special interests that have been screwing the american people for generations. They often wear good disguises.

      Just a word, I am in a union. I work for the DOT in the state of RI. Over the last twelve years we have had 2 %10 pay cuts(lasting 1 year each), had our pension rates lowered (37years for %60) and I give $6000 per year towards it. Have to be 62 to collect your pension. Had 7 cola’s in 12 years (%2 each) gave up 5 colas. Been made to pay $6230 per year for family health care(3 people) used to be $0 – 15 years ago. And this year 13 furlough days, report to work and not get paid for it. My point is, we have not fought these things because we know how bad times are. NOT ALL UNIONS ARE BAD.
      These cuts have hurt my family, I now work two jobs and we are still sinking. BUT!!!! what really tweaks my azz is that welfare people did get the cola’s and received a raise in food assistance along with free medical that is better than mine!

      Last I heard the Unions are willing to accept the Financial elements of the Governors proposal. What they dont agree with and why they continue to fight is because the Collective Bargaining agreements and the rights to organizing as a Union have nothing to do with balancing the state budget. There are elements which are clearly Union busting. We can argue all we want about a Unions worth. Some are obviously useless, while others are vital. Reform in America needs to hit every corner. Dont destroy the unions and leave the corporations alone. They might need tax and regulatory relief in some areas, but they need reform also. As we saw in Nov. our Congress needed and still continues along with the Senate to need more new voices which represent us instead of selling us.
      The Unions got fat, the corporations got fat, the politicians got fat. Make sure they all Go on a diet.

      Unions should concentrate on fighting for the rights of the worker, not Political Commie values,
      American Corporations should be concentrating on investing and building jobs in America and making a profit instead of Killing America and laying in bed with Communists who Slave their workers (china). Government should be giving our American businesses a Break so they can invest back into america and provide jobs with Real wages. So we don’t have to rely on the Unions to fight for them. We have enough International Corporations that Hate our freedom and make a profit selling us out and their workers. I would not like to see organized unions be blamed for all the woes of this nations employment picture because elements have been corrupted by the left. We are mostly workers, Unions need to be taken back by the workers so that they represent American Ideals again and help us get back our Middle Class jobs.
      The problem is the world is corrupted. We the People have been sheeple and asleep to long. We all need to look past the propaganda (PR) of the Special interest groups, be they right of left and look at ALL that are to blame.

      I have come to the conclusion that republicans in general along with their tea party parasites are nothing more than the resurgence of the No Nothing Party. A group of self centered bigots that have no sense of “real” history, who depend on fear and misinformation. They have all taken the Cool Aid offered by their Pantheon of Gods, Palin, Beck, Limbaugh, Rove and Cheney as the source of all truth. The only thing that speaks in this country now is wealth and collective greed of the few. It all started under Ronald Reagan and his so called trickle down theory,of economics. Read the history of that bumb and realize that he greatly increased the national debt, threw the mentally handicapped out of the hospitals onto the streets so that they became homeless, he could not say the words AIDs until his buddy Rock Hudson was near death. Under Bush II we saw the largest transfer of wealth to the top five percent of this country than ever before. He tripled the national debt and got us into two unfunded wars and sat by as he watched our country spiral towards economic collapse. WHat don’t you people see? The weathy behind the republican party want even more wealth until the middle class does not exist. If you can’t read the tea leaves by now, then then is no hope for any of us. This country was robbed, the taxpayers were robbed and no one is in jail from Wall Street. Thank God the Europeans have Bush listed as a War Criminal, maybe they can catch him and bring him to trrial for torture which he has freely admitted.
      Remember the boom years under Clinton? Well you dumb republicans that was before the Bush tax cuts and once his tax cuts were in place the surplus became a huge debt. De-regulation was the mantra of the republicans as they sought to undo the legacy of FDR which supports your parents and grandparents. Even Abraham Lincoln saw the bigotary of his fellow country men when he said,” If the Know-Nothings ever took power, the Declaration of Independence would have to be amended to say that all men are created equal “except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics.” Lincoln went on to say he would rather emigrate to Russia, where despotism is out in the open, then live in such an America.
      When I watch TV and I see republicans and tea party members gathered at political events together, I see a virtually all white and largely overweight group and their education level is suspect. It is a shame that the melting pot that made this country great would not be tolerated by republicans nor the tea party members. I truley fear for the liberties afforded me by the constitution of this grreat country. The far right republicans and tea party members would rather throw away the constitition and create one in their own image based on fear, bigtory and hatred. I pray that God help our country and keep it out of the hands of the corrupt wealthy elite republicans who when in control again will show their total distain for Americans of the middle class.

      Just stop and think for a moment, whom would Jesus Christ favor? If you forgot, then I suggest you read the Beatitudes in lieu of the Ten Commandants. Christ favors the poor and weak.

      The basic premise of the party was a strong, if not virulent, stand against immigration and immigrants. Know-Nothing candidates had to be born in the United States. And there was also a concerted effort to agitate to change the laws so that only immigrants who had lived in the US for 25 years could become citizens.

      Value, what value in that message! It really gets to me how little people think about the issues or have such wrong information that whatever is posted becomes gospel. Look it is not the unions or there members who are so screwing up this country. This govenor gave a sizable tax cut that created the 3 billion dollar deficit which he now wants the public sector employees to fix by taking away their hard won rights. Collective barganing is not the enemy here. It is a elite core of wealthy republicans working in tandum with their Wall Street cronies to soak up the diminishing walth of the middle classes. Sarah Palin is a multimillionaire, do you honestly think she cares about the struggles of the lower and middle classes. The answer is a resounding No. But, please go ahead and try and take the cheese out of the trap. The gestapo of the far right fringe or for that matter the far right are out to destroy the constitution of WE the people. We means not white people, but all people. Something the far right seems to ignore.

      MEMO TO SARAH:

      Sacrifice your ego,
      Go home and be a mother
      To that dysfunctio­nal herd
      You brought into this world!

      @ satyr9w
      I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. You say the Tea Party is white, fat and stupid. But yet, has all the money.
      Your correct. We have the farms, the ranches, the timber land, the mining grounds and everything else important. You sir, have the coastline with it’s housing projects where people live like cattle, look like cattle, and think like cattle. Your told what to do, when to do it, and how to do it. It’s what you wanted and what you got. We’re just not going to pay for it sir.

      I can‘t understand why the bread and butter workers of America don’t listen to $arah….$he has been such a strong advocate for what everyday people need, health-care reform, addressing the criminal elements in corporatocracy (ie tax evasion tactics) with reasonable legislation, affording human rights to those discriminated against…What a heroine…

      Would people need to be able to read in order to understand Palin’s plea? That probably leaves out half the union people and more if they were educated by union teachers.

      By the looks of how things are going in Wisconsin it is the PEOPLE who are deciding.. not the Governor. If the Governor wants to cut something.. Cut his own pay by a 1/3.. That would show TRUE leadership.

      ”real solidarity means everyone being willing to sacrifice”
      Sounds like socialism. She probably meant “working class folk”, not all the rich
      important people.
