Palin posted on FB that she stands with the Unions in Wisconsin - WTF!?!?

Palin is so full of it my god I wish this women would just go crawl under a rock this is complete BS!!!
*****************

The union-led school closures and demonstrations in Madison have left most ordinary Americans shaking their heads in disbelief. Months ago, I penned a message to my fellow union brothers and sisters when I found myself on the receiving end of union boss Richard Trumka’s wrath. Yesterday’s demonstrations reminded me of the full-page ads taken out against me when I put my foot down in dealing with union demands while I served as governor. My message then and now to good union brothers and sisters is that you have another option. You don’t have to kowtow to the union bosses who are not looking out for you, but instead are using you. You can join millions of other union members in a commonsense movement to help fight for the right causes in our great country – for budgets that share the burden in a truly fair way and for commonsense reforms that take power away from vested interests like union bosses and big business lobby groups, and put it back where it belongs – with “We the People.”

Here we are still struggling to get out of a deep recession and coping with high unemployment, record deficits, rapidly rising food prices, and a host of other economic problems; and Wisconsin union bosses want union members out in the streets demanding that taxpayers foot the bill for unsustainable benefits packages. I am a friend to hard working union members and to teachers. I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents, parents, brother, sister, aunt, and other relatives worked, or still work, in education. My own children attend public schools. I greatly admire good teachers and will always speak up in defense of the teaching profession. But Wisconsin teacher unions do themselves no favor by closing down classrooms and abandoning children’s needs in protest against the sort of belt-tightening that people everywhere are going through. Union brothers and sisters: this is the wrong fight at the wrong time. Solidarity doesn’t mean making Wisconsin taxpayers pay for benefits that are not sustainable and affordable at a time when many of these taxpayers struggle to hold on to their own jobs and homes. Real solidarity means everyone being willing to sacrifice and carry our share of the burden. It does no one any favors to dismiss the sacrifices others have already had to make—in wage cuts, unpaid vacations, and even job losses—to weather our economic storm.

Hard working, patriotic, and selfless union brothers and sisters: please don’t be taken in by the union bosses. At the end of the day, they’re not fighting for your pension or health care plan or even for the sustainability of Wisconsin’s education budget. They’re fighting to protect their own powerful privileges and their own political clout. The agenda for too many union bosses is a big government agenda that only serves the union bosses themselves – not union members, not union families, and certainly not the larger community. Everybody else is just there to foot the bill; and if that bill eventually takes the form of thousands of teachers and other public sector workers losing their jobs because the state of Wisconsin can no longer afford to keep them on the payroll, that’s a risk the union bosses are willing to take as long as their positions are secure. Union brothers and sisters: you are better than this and you deserve better. Don’t be led astray.

One final word of warning to my fellow Americans: back in 2009, I warned about what would happen if states accepted short-term unsustainable debt-ridden “Stimulus Package” funds. Accepting those funds allowed states to grow government, increase already unsustainable levels of spending, kick the can down the road on reforming entitlements, and create public expectations that they would continue financing these new mandates once the federal funds ran out. States were not in a position to grow government and take on new financial commitments then, and now the chickens have come home to roost. As goes Wisconsin today, so goes the country tomorrow.

      Don't get too excited, we get all the same stories here. Commenting and voting drives up story's rank, so think before you post. Yes, now I am part of the problem too (by replying to your comment).

      Everybody hates to admit it, but it is like watching a trianwreck with Palin (you can't not look sometimes).

    • I wrote the first post after only reading the headline. But let's see how this is spun and twisted so it SEEMS like she is for the Wisconsin unions. It's not the American loving teachers who would prefer NOT to use up their precisous sick days to carry signs at the capitol. NOOO, they would much rather be teaching suto-science and fictional history to the next generation of good, patriotic, god loving American children. BUT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, it is the Union Bosses who are mearly USING them for their own "Powerful Priviliages" and "Political Clout", without a care in the world for teachers families or benefeits. It's the MEAN, MONEY GRUBBING, FREELOADING, UNION BOSSES that wants to live the good life at the EXPENCE of the Poor, Patriotic, Hard Working, American Taxpayer.

      Can we all say, "WHAT A BUNCH OF BULL SHIT !!!!!!!!!!!"

    • Let's stop giving this airhead press. She's a political opportunist of the lowest caliber, even stooping to exploiting her family for success and visibility. The less we discuss her, the faster she can finally go away.

    • This woman is nuts. She wants us to trust her and not the Union Leaders. Yes, that would make sense. Only in her little world. She must think that everyone is as stupid as she is. She claims to be of the working class and at the same time wants to back Corporate America. WTF.

    • I think she knows that she's loosing her appeal so she's grasping at straws now. Recently she's been looking quite aged in the face. It's just a matter of time before the teabaggers come to realise what a fraud is. Maybe they have already and that's why "Joe the Plumber" has been resurrected to be in Wisconsin today with the other teabaggers.

    • Palin is nothing but a beauty contest runner up with too much time in the media's spotlight.

      People hate her. She has nothing to contribute to the conversation. And anyone who thinks she's doing her own FB posts and tweets, she doesn't know how to use a computer. She has staff to do her social networking.

      I thought February was supposed to be the media's chance to go Palin-FREE.

      WTF happened to that great idea? I'd like the next 10 years to be Palin-FREE, except her constant presence reminds us all of just how unqualified, unAmerican, and ill-tempered she really is. An ugly American with a pretty face and nothing more. Men want to screw her, fat women want to be her. It's all so sad.

      Many feel the same about her as you do! I gag every time I see her puss! Her day will come! Until then, turn off the boob tube, stop reading the crap and lies you see in newspapers, MSM is controlled by those who want your pay stubs reduced! Use Internet links and locations where reliable information is written, fact check, take notes on who has done what in Congress, keep tabs on their voting records, and vote them in or out as soon as possible! BUT We MUST Get OUT and VOTE! Vote like your life is on the line because it is!

      Sometimes she's not so good in print, either. It depends on who is doing her writing for her.

      On the occasions where she has been allowed to twit and facebook on her own, the results have been hilarious/disastrous, depending on what side of the basketball court you're sitting on.

      Ann Coulter used to have issues with continuity from book to book. I haven't read any of her writing for years now, but before, there was a wide difference.

      The themes were pure Coulter, but I've always assumed she went through editors/ghost-writers pretty quickly...thus, the lack of continuity in writing style from book to book.

    • So this bitch claims to be on the side of union workers, it's just the union bosses that she's against, huh? Those union bosses are just using the rank and file for their own purposes and leading them astray? What a disingenuous bitch. The tea baggers had the gall to read this letter at today's protests as if this evil woman is in solidarity with them! So it's good people like Sarah Palin whose really looking out for the working man/woman best interests? Yeah, right. Take this piece of garbage with you to Alaska you phony astro turf teabaggers and don't let the door hit you on the way out. We are not fooled or amused.

      Words are just words. The only power they have is the power you give to them.

      That being said, it is inaccurate to all her "retarded." She is uneducated and not well read.

      Until she became McCain's VP candidate, she was able to get by on a smile, a flash of a leg, a winky-winky, and a catchy jingoism. Now that there is more focus on her by those other than her fawning worshipers, she is repeatedly shown to not be ready for prime-time (unless it is pre-recorded, she gets to know what the questions are going to be, and the answers will fit on the palm of her hand).

    • Sad to hear that so many people in her family are teachers.
      I guess she inherited non of their genes.
      I wonder what they think about her complete lack of knowledge and fact?
      Palin stands with no one but Palin.
      Spreading lie after lie and spewing her incoherent garbage to collect
      the green. That's all she cares about.

    • PREPARE TO MARCH IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, IN YOUR CAPITOL! HELP ORGANIZE YOUR LOCAL PROGRESSIVE CHAPTER. THINK ABOUT A NATIONAL MARCH TO WASHINGTON ON MAY 3, COORDINATED WITH A NATIONAL WORK STOPPAGE, 2 DAYS OF PROTEST, WITH A MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT AND CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS ON THE CAPITOL LAWN, PRESENTING "THE PEOPLE'S LIST OF SUGGESTIONS". WE MUST SAY SUGGESTIONS, INSTEAD OF DEMANDS, SO THAT WE WON'T BE PROSECUTED FOR EXTORTION BY THE REPUBLICANS. IF THAT DOESN'T WORK, PREPARE FOR AN INDEFINITE NATIONWIDE WORK STOPPAGE. INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE ARE NOTHING WITHOUT WORKERS. IF GHANDI DID IT, WE CAN DO IT! WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES, OUR FORBEARS, AND OUR CHILDREN. ORGANIZE NOW.

    • So she believes the tens of thousands of Americans protesting in Wisconsin are being coerced by union "bosses" to turn out and demonstrate?

      She thinks they are so stupid and weak-minded that they are simple robots following orders against their will ?

      She doesnt know that union leaders are elected by union members?

      What an idiot!!!!

      Palin is repeating right wing talking points with her usual obtuse manner. She had her foot on the necks of the unions in Alaska....ask them how much they love her up there.
      What she seems to be missing (intentionally)is that the workers agreed to the cuts the governor of Wis asked for...they just do not want to give up future negotiating rights. So implying the workers are not willing to sacrifice like the rest of the nations is pure BS! I wonder how much the Palin family has sacrificed?

      As long as she can attract hordes of worshippers, and as long as she has a place at Fox, she is relevant. Fortunately, it is easy to keep people informed on her cluelessness du juor, without much effort. All we have to do is just sit back and wait, and it won't be too long before she says, writes, or does something which clearly indicates she's not ready for primetime. Then we post a few posts about her to drive up the message folder numbers, maybe write an obligatory letter to the editor, and our jobs is done...until her next cluelessness du juor.

      I can't imagine Palin standing on the side of Unions either.
      Tea Party members are supposed to march in Wisconsin today.
      We will see what happens, it is suppose to be bad weather there this afternoon.
      If they don't support the Union people I hope the Union people will just stay home and let the Tea Party do their thing in the cold weather.
      Don't need a conflict of voices there. Tea Party is supposed to be there to support the Governor..
      ALWAYS VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Maybe we need to see the good people stand up to the Tea Party goons. I'll bet you if the Tea Party shows it will be union busting thugs and every white supremacist they can find.

      Madison s ground zero right now.
