If I were the Republican Senators in Wisconsin, I would be wondering how my future election would go. Therefore, I would be more careful as to how I vote on the issues. And, from what we have read some of the fellow Republicans have some leanings to the Democratic issue. It is not a clear cut case. Remember, the threat of an action many times is more powerful than the action itself. But, if called upon the action has to be completed. Therefore, do not make a threat that you do not follow up with The unions not only threatened, they went after republicans in wisconsin in one of the most blatant abuses of the political system we have ever seen. And they LOST! And remember, Wisconsin is a Democrat state. Obama won the state. Obama won the 6 counties where the recalls took place. I think that the democrats should heed the warning you are trying to make toward the republicans. And about that threat, you've already made it clear that progressives will go very far to get their way. When will they openly advocate violence? We know that SEIU thugs are routinely violent, but when do we see SEIU and ACORN thugs walking down the street with clubs? Are you going to be wearing your purple shirt that day, walking shoulder to shoulder with them? What's funny is that you don't even realize that what you progressives are doing is driving rational people away from the left. All that will be left are the fringe extremists as the pendulum swings further and further to the right. The unions/democrats/progressives thought that Walker overplayed his hand....but it is they who have overplayed their hand. I guess we should be thankful for that.

Obama makes threats and they are hollow.

That is a mistake many Republicans have made in the past. Changing their conservative approach will only lose conservative voters. The left will never vote for them anyway. What you are suggesting is they all take lessons from John McCain. In politics it is rarely so pure a reaction as was noted in the "recall" elections in Wisconsin. To deviate from their conservative game plan would be just what the democrats want to weaken the party and trample on their success. Democrats make this plea after every large Republican swap of control. "Now you have to govern more like us". It simply doesn't work. They should continue that for which they were elected and to align themselves with the voting public. the Democrats should consider governing more like the voting public if they want to blur the distinctions. If you have a successful product, whether it be a Cafe, Nightclub, clothing line, automobile etc you do not change your service or product to conform that of the less popular market. They won't fall for that old trick, especially with such economic mine fields ahead. Therefore, I would be more careful as to how I vote on the issues.
