The recall heard round the world

Ann Coulter  "I watched the Wisconsin returns on MSNBC Tuesday night, and it came right down to the wire between “the Democrats were outspent 7-to-1″ and “Republicans are stripping union rights!” ....
"This election had nothing to do with people being paid a fair wage for the work they do. The question is: Do you want a society where the people whose salaries you pay make more than those who pay them?"
"The Democrats will do anything the government unions ask, because (1) It’s not their money they’re spending, it’s the taxpayers’; and (2) Government unions reciprocate by making sure the Democrats keep getting re-elected."


Coulter then discusses what the consequences were when Gov. Schwarzenegger tried to take on unions in an off-year election:

"Let’s see, who would be likely to vote in an off-year election? We’re going to cut your exorbitant benefits, require you to work, and make it easier to fire you, public employees. Do you have any interest in voting on that?....

"In the end, union members turned out in droves on Election Day, defeating every single initiative. "Everyone else in California woke up the next day and said, “Hey, did you know there was an election yesterday?”
"The failure of Schwarzenegger’s propositions ended his governorship. From that day on, he became the Democrats’ plaything.
"The 2010 census marks the first time California has lost population since it became a state."
