Republicans Have Hard Lessons To Learn…

  …which will be an interesting feat since the party is hell-bent on cutting education ( public ) funding almost down to zero if they get their way.

   Here are a few of the political pundits thoughts on the current Republican rampage.

  From Politico:

Democrats in Wisconsin are vowing to transform virtually every upcoming state and local election there into a referendum on Walker’s administration. Party leaders from Madison to Washington are gearing up for a major fight in the hope of sending an unmistakable signal to other ambitious GOP state executives.

Their efforts to make Walker and his supports pay a high political price for their victory has led Republicans to activate their own campaign machinery. Few expect the conflict will stay contained in Wisconsin.

Green Bay [WI] Press Gazette:

For all the unrest that's stemmed from the State Capitol this month — protests that attracted people by the tens of thousands, Capitol lockdowns with increased security and philosophical conflicts that have shaken communities — the fallout doesn't end with the passage of a provision that removes collective bargaining powers for most public employees.  It may just be the start.

Philadelphia Inquirer editorial:

Conservative public officials across the country are using deficits caused primarily by the recession as a pretext to weaken public unions and gain a partisan edge against labor's Democratic allies. Fortunately, people are seeing this ruse for what it is and banding together to stop this partisan scheme before it's too late.
