The revolt is underway.

There are certainly problems with both parties and in many states. That does not change the fact that the most spectacular failed states are historically BLUE states. You make the argument WI failed due to the recent new gov, that sounds far too simplistic.

It is really that simple. Here is the report from the Wisconsin Fiscal Bureau The year is ending with a $121Million surplus. The new Governor signed $25Million return for economic job growth, $48 Million return for private healthcare, and $67Million return for lower taxes on business. That's $140Million in new spending. Agree or not that these were good ideas really isn't the point. The point is that the $140Million in spending didn't exist before the new REDs were in office and most of the BLUEs voted against them. And the deficit didn't exist ($121M surplus) and now it does.

The best example will always be CA (please don't tell me Arnie is a Republican). When taking the left's ideology to the extreme, you get CA which is a spectacular failure. The right has problems for sure, but the ideology is sound when it is not just lip service.

I've agreed that BLUEs aren't prefect. Where I disagree is the assertion that the REDs are perfect.

BLUE: California is bad w/ a $25Billion deficit. That's about 29% of the overall budget or roughly $675 per person.

RED: Texas is also bad w/ a $13Billion deficit. It's worse budgetarily as it's nearly 32% of the budget. It's a bit better per person around $520.

California was doing much better before it was undermined by Texas Republicans pretending to be an energy company. Most of CAs problems are right wing undermining of a leftist program. Deregulated power didn't lead to competition and efficiency as the power industry had claimed (jeez, what a surprise, like the power industry would fight for something that would undermine their own profits?) but instead resulted in rampant theft from the people and businesses of California (by the very companies who were so sure that this would not be the result).

Arnie is not a lefty. Arnie is the son of a Nazi and like wealth and power and wants it for himself. He was brought in by the energy industry to stop Gray Davies from going after them and he did that in his first days in office.

Then again, hardly any politicians these days are leftist. Leftists can't raise the kind of money you need to play the game. You only have business favouring candidates or outright theft favouring candidates.
 
University of Wisconsin La Crosse workers have been considering a Union. Well the vote's in. And the will of the people employed is 249 to 7 to form a Union.

A unionized public employee, a teabagger, and a CEO are sitting at a table. In the middle of the table there is a plate with a dozen cookies on it. The CEO reaches across and takes 11 cookies, looks at the teabagger and says, "Look out for that union guy -- he wants a piece ...of your cookie."
