Protesters in Benghazi demonstrate against Colonel Gaddafi. (click title to entry - thank you.)
Do the Republicans actually believe 'the freedom and democracy movement' in the Middle East has a direct correlation with the demonstrations in Wisconsin?
I mean really.
The Republicans could not be more "W"rong in drawing those analogies.
The demonstrators in Wisconsin are seeking 'fairness' and a 'dialogue' with an abusive Governor and Republican majority, while the demonstrators in the Middle East are only at their beginnings of demanding such luxury as having unions, equality of representation in government and constitutions that reflect those priorities.
I wish American politicians were so stupid in their analogies. But, then again when one looks at their primaries, it is understandable why they say such things. But, they really shouldn't. The circumstances in the Middle East are highly dynamic and dangerous. There are profoundly brave people at the heart of these movements that are putting their lives on the line for the freedom and democracy of present and future generations.
The demonstrators in Wisconsin are seeking 'fairness' while they reflect on the new costs their medical insurance and pensions may cost them.
Why is the Wisconsin Governor Walker abusive? Because the deficit has been corruptly manipulated to CREATE a deficity. He has included issues unrelated to the budget to achieve 'election campaign promises.' He is playing politicks with the livelihoods of real people and their families. And realizing Wisconsin's faux budget deficit is becoming a national stage, it looks all to 'set up' to be respectable.
Egypt to Wisconsin? Give me a break. Not even close.
