Wisconsin union voter put self above state

Union workers in Wisconsin are saddened by the negative result of their attempt to unseat a governor who exercised fiscal responsibility for the benefit of their state.
What a sad commentary when a Wisconsin union member values selfish personal gains while his/her state was crippled by a multibillion-dollar deficit caused by union and political corruption.
Wisconsin voters have done our nation a wonderful service. If only the Republican elite would now join hands with the patriotic Tea Party movement, there could be a shining light at the end of our current tunnel of national destruction.
