The Wisconsin GOP "Ship of Fools" has quite the deluded crew.
So as Walker heads out on a paid speaking tour, and Foxconn's promises of blue-collar TV assembling fall back to 'well, we're gonna do something there,' it's time to remind Republicans how completely they cooperated in this philosophical-and-financial public-private mutual suicide pact.

2. They also ignored their equal phony worshiping at the alter of private property by using government to force people in Mount Pleasant to turn their homes and farms over to Foxconn's bulldozers.
