Brew City Brawler's Blog Post: GOP insider admits budget repair is about hobbling Dems

The Brawler has been somewhat surprised that the remarks in Sunday's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel from Steve King, a member of the national GOP's executive committee from Wisconsin, have not received more attention than they have.
Because, rather than regurgitating platitudes about balancing the budget or giving people the right not to join a union (and instead be free riders -- "moochers," in Charlie Sykes' parlance), King gets to what the union busting provisions are all about.
Beating up on labor and beating up on the Democratic Party.

Get the rest of the story here!
The Brawler is commenting on what we knew all along. This isn't about budgets, but about hamstringing the Democratic party be defunding on of its stringest contributors. It won't work and here's why...

If the union does not collect the money directly, it won't matter. The individuals who just got smacked by Governor Walker's "Budget Defraud Bill" and by the Stalin-esque tactics of the Republicans in the Senate and the Assembly are not going to forget. Barack Obama's campaign made grassroots, individual funding viable and successful. Expect that those same machines will show up here in Wisconsin and Scott Walker will be completing his employment application at Koch Industries. At least there there will be a little bit of honesty... Walker's paycheck will be signed by David Koch directly instead being hidden as a campaign contribution!
