Wall Street Occupiers … Zero.
In the run-up to this year’s Presidential Election.
As you will know, I have absolute confidence in the fact that Mitt Romney will beat Obama at the Polls this coming November.
No President to date, has piled on the debt as has the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Yesterday, the Republican Governor of Wisconsin – a traditionally democratic state, was returned to power after the Unions successfully brought about a recall election.
The Unions were upset by the fact that Governor Walker had stripped the State’s Public Servants of the right to join them. It is a position that I too support and would like to see implemented here in the governments of Ontario and Canada.
Simply stated, no one represents the taxpayer in government labour negotiations. Unions want the moon – the politicians want labour peace – and the money both are dealing with, is not their own. It is and has been a recipe for disaster.
But let’s get back to Wisconsin. Governor Walker was surprisingly elected in 2010 when the Democrats suffered a massive electoral reversal right across the country. Pundits credited the Tea Partyers for seeing this reversal come about.
At that time, Governor Walker and his fellow Republicans found a State running an annual deficit of some $3.6 Billion Dollars. Less than two years later, Wisconsin’s annual budget is now running a significant surplus.
The Unions, the Democrats, the Occupiers were livid. Power was being taken away from them. A Recall effort was launched and a sufficient number of signatures were secured, resulting in yesterday’s election.
The Left pulled out all the stops to see their vote turnout. But so did the Tea Partyers.
When the dust settled – Walker was re-elected by a significant margin – and this, as mentioned, in an historically democratic state.
The moral of the story – if in an Election Year, the Democrats cannot maintain power in one of their own states – their chances of taking needed swing states, will be all the more difficult.
Bottom line – the writing is on the wall for President Obama.
As I see it…
