Moderate WI Republican Seeks to Snatch Defeat From Victory

I hate moderate Republicans.  RINOs are so afraid of any kind of conflict that when things get heated they immediately run to the Democrats to see what they can do to appease:

With Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker maintaining a hard line on his budget bill and Democratic senators refusing to return to Madison to vote, attention is turning to a group of moderate Republican senators to negotiate a compromise to the stalemate that has drawn thousands of protesters to the state capital for a sixth straight day.

The proposal, written by Sen. Dale Schultz and first floated in the Republican caucus early last week, calls for most collective bargaining rights of public employee unions to be eliminated – per Mr. Walker's bill – but then reinstated in 2013, said Mr. Schultzs's chief of staff Todd Allbaugh.

"Dale is committed to find a way to preserve collective bargaining in the future," said Mr. Allbaugh in a telephone interview.

On Sunday Mr. Walker reiterated his confidence that Republicans would pass their proposal intact.

"We're willing to take this as long as it takes because in the end we're doing the right thing for Wisconsin," Mr. Walker said during an interview with Fox News on Sunday.

And why do you think Schultz wants to stay on the good side of the unions?

He earned a reputation for working across party lines and was endorsed in his 2010 re-election bid by the state's largest teacher's employee (union).

Hey Sgt. Schultz, why don't you jump in your car and head for Illinois with your Democrat buddies. Leave the hard work to the real Republicans and quit trying to undermine your new governor.

UPDATE from Gateway Pundit:

Wisconsin State Senator Alberta Darling was on Fox this morning with Bill Hemmer and told him the Republican State Senators are standing with Governor Scott Walker – minus one. She called on the AWOL democrats to return and do their jobs. She also reminded constituents that the Republican budget allows everyone to keep their jobs and if the debt is not restructured by Friday they will be forced to lay off workers.
