The phony “will they or won’t they” meme in the media about Wisconsin's Republican one party rule is pathetic.

Wisconsin Republicans are kids in a candy store, literally, getting everything they want with no adult supervision. Take this ridiculous Journal Sentinel framing:
jsonline: Gov. Scott Walker's plan to erase almost all collective bargaining rights for most public workers is now squarely in the domain of the Legislature, which could act on it within days. 
The question now becomes: Can the bill pass in its current form or will it need to undergo significant changes to win the approval of key GOP lawmakers who might have qualms about some of its provisions?
Gee, I wonder? Like the controversial job killing wind farm setbacks proposed by Walker, or the "possible" expansion of the voter ID bill to include students and passports, legislator "resistance" is a “journalistic” creation made to portray Republicans as “thoughtfully” deliberative.

What a laugh.
Sen. Fred Risser (D-Madison) said he expects many if not all of them to unite behind the governor. "He has a group of Republican legislators that seem to vote for him regardless of what the issue is. They've voted as a bloc so far without deviation. It's sort of like a herd of sheep, and he's the herder and they follow him along."
The “rubber stamp” Bush congress will look tame when compared to Wisconsin’s one party rule in the next couple of years. And I thought the Republican states of Florida and Texas were the crazy ones to watch crash under the failed theories of Milton Friedman.

Surprise, Wisconsin is the new leader. But will the tea party's famous "you're not listening to us" work for the Democrats? Are you kidding!!
