Michigan repubs furious their new law being dodged

A few months ago, the lame duck Michigan congress ramrodded a right to work bill through, without so much as hearing one argument from the left. Now, in another example of the never ending stream of pure oral feces that is right wing hypocrisy, they are actually angry that some public institutions are taking it upon themselves to work between union members and management on long term contracts to be put in place before the March 28th RTW law goes into effect.

Yup, that's right, it is fine for them to plow anything they want through the legislature, but if the unions AND management want to work together to put their own contract in place, something they can both agree to and do so PERFECTLY LEGALLY because the new law is not in effect yet, the republicans feel the need to drag them before the michigan congress like they are some sort of criminals and threaten to punish them.

Geez i hope this state gets its head out of its ass before the next election

What the freakin' hell??????? WHAT ON EARTH motivates them to vote for these tyrants and fools and greedmeisters? When I look at these assholes in office, I don't know who disgusts me more - the assholes in office - or the FRICKIN' IDIOTS who buy what they're selling, swallow whole what they're shoveling, and vote for these bastards!!! That's my real worry. The folks buying this crap. Just as guilty: those who decide it doesn't matter, or they're all the same, or it won't make any difference or their vote won't count, or they just are too busy or self-absorbed and don't give a damn.

Then one day they wake up and wonder who the hell is running things into the ground in their city or at the state level, and how on earth those dick-heads could possibly ever have gotten into office...
