America's Class War
Barney Frank and Ed Rendell are right. In seeking to recall Wisconsin
Governor Scott Walker, the public-sector unions and their allies on the
progressive wing of the Democratic Party made a big mistake.
“My side picked a fight they shouldn’t have picked,” Frank told The Hill. “People need to be more strategic about the fights they pick.” In other places, such as Ohio, Democrats have successfully campaigned in state legislatures to roll back repugican anti-union initiatives. But rather than following such a strategy in Wisconsin, they tried to drive Walker out of office, alienating independent voters and bringing down upon themselves a deluge of wingnut money.
