The Wausau Labor Day Parade saw two Republican Tea Party politicians participate, dispite knowing they weren't welcome by the labor council. And just like a cancer killing its host from within, State Sen. Pam "guns" Galloway and Rep. Sean Duffy marched with union members as though they belonged there.
From WEAU:WSAU: It received national attention, the Marathon County Labor Council deciding not to include republican candidates in its annual parade ... republicans marched, and the reception was enthusiastic, but mostly unpleasant.
Republican State Senator Pam Galloway and Congressman San Duffy showed up. They marched with a large group of supporters, and heard some cheers ... but a decidedly democratic crowd lined the Wausau Labor Temple at the end of the route. As Duffy's people passed, many turned their back and faced the other way. They also chanted "recall Walker" until he turned the corner.
Besides chants, union supporters raised posters along the route. Those included slogans like "unions help all workers" and "walker your pink slip is coming." When republican candidates came by they held up signs saying "shame."
Democrats received a more warm response. Rep. Donna Seidel and her campaigners lead the parade, as she posed as the parade marshall ... They chanted "this is what democracy looks like" and raised signs saying "enough is enough vote democrat."
Seidel said "This is about workers and what workers have done to make the middle class of America strong and to make all of our state and country really stronger than ever before."
