According to the Associated Press, since the labor movement suffered an "epic" defeat in Wisconsin, union leaders plan to use the setback to fire up their members nationwide, and mount a major counterattack against Republicans at the ballot box in
2012.

And I guess that would sound pretty scary to Republican incumbents were it not for the fact that I don't think a union member's ever voted Republican in their lives. In fact, since there's such a wide divergence in beliefs, any union member pulling a Republican handle would be occupationally suicidal. Beyond that, union bosses do everything in their power and beyond to further insure that such an event couldn't happen.

So, if that's really the case, what does it matter how much noise unions make regarding the next election? Because while the unions may have absolute control over how members vote, in total there aren't enough to guarantee victory.

And as for everybody else, if they've got any sense at all and want to keep however much money they may still have left, I doubt they'll be giving the union much electoral help.

So, while the unions are indeed making all this noise, that's exactly what it comes down to: A really loud waste of their time.

That's it for today folks.

Adios.
