As a matter of fact no, Walker and the GOP may fool the people of Wisconsin, but still, when Walker and GOP policies lead the people of Wisconsin to looming worse disaster, sooner or later the Wisconsin voters will no longer buy GOP bad governance.

You make a declaration that Wisconsin voters will get to choose who is public enemy #1... but only if their choice agrees with your opinion?

In other words, you lied in your first statement that they have a choice? Is that how it works?

What world do you live within? Where in all of this are teachers going to be working for min wage? Where is the proposal they do?

He feels that if the unions are busted from excess; the government will drive the wages down to Federal minimum.

Exaggeration to support his cause.

This whole "recall Walker" stuff just wreaks of hypocrisy.

Just one state down in Illinois the lead story in the newspaper today is how Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn is planning to fix the budget problems in Illinois. A plan to reduce pensions and medicaid. Cut services for hundreds of thousands of people. Raise the retirement age. Make public employees pay more towards their pension, and reduce the pension payout amounts.

Why does Illinois have such a monstrous budget problem? Could it be the tax breaks Gov. Quinn has handed out to the large corporations operating within the state? Motorola? Sears? Caterpillar?

When he campaigned for governor, he ran on a platform of exactly none of those things.

This just a couple weeks removed from Gov. Quinn making public comments against Gov. Walker's approach and record, along with Illinois public unions holding rallies in opposition to Gov. Walker.



Yet those who hate Wisc. Gov. Scott Walker, are understanding of how the Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn is running Illinois.

That doesn't mean either of them is taking the right approach...

As for me, I will be glad either way to see this 80 page plus pissing contest thread finally come to a final end in less than a month, June 5'th to be exact.

But still it will be just one battle in a larger war, its all well and fine to argue how the people of Wisconsin distribute their net proceeds of their economy between the workers and the fat cats. No society or state will keep tolerating those social inequalities. Its like the great depression all over again, the fat cats can produce goods and products ever cheaper thanks to low labor rates, but when they kill off the customer, no one can afford to buy their products.

There is no way around that iron law of economics.

I don't happen to give to shits about the "Rich". You and your types are the one's hung up on them. What doesn't make sense is your types voting for people who want to have the gov't take control of more things while at the same time whining about the gov't being pawns of the "Rich". So why would you people want to give more control to an entity that you claim is owned by the "Rich"? ... and you people want to try to lecture middle class conservatives about self interest? buahahaha!!!!

Always thought you should have to be a land owner to vote because you had a stake in the game.... Dam kids don't get it because they are taught by the left how great they are and they have so darn much loan debt but they can tell everyone what is wrong in business. They can’t manage their life but are qualified to manage a company:whiste:

Not worried about either scenario, as I do not live there. It is a valid scenario...and you must admit it, since he was elected once already.

It's looking like it may cost us $16 mil for this recall as a state..... so yep it pisses me off big time!


Edit:
I&#8217;ve worked my whole life in the private sector and military till five years ago. Now that I&#8217;m in the system I can tell you I have never worked with a worse bunch of managers in my life. These people have no clue of what they are doing or are in charge of! Most of the instructors are in la la land&#8230;. Just sick.

And Deans and Presidents hired for their degrees and not on knowledge of what they are running&#8230;. Dam joke.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett Wins Democratic Nod to Face Walker



Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett won the Democratic primary in Wisconsin on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported. This means Barrett will go head-to-head with embattled Republican Gov. Scott Walker in the rare recall election on June 5.


A Marquette Law School poll released at the beginning of May showed Barrett and Walker in a statistical dead heat.


If Walker loses the election, he will be the third governor in U.S. history to be recalled from office. He is the first governor in Wisconsin's history to face a recall election, which was initiated after the governor moved to curtail the rights of some unionized state workers.

His being faced with a recall election shows how mistaken Walker and his cronies were in assuming their victories gave them the unchecked ability to blatantly overreach and storm the walls of the public unions with arrogant impunity. This situation also exposes the shortsightedness and insanity that the newly elected Repubs displayed after being blessed with the power to abuse and bully at will, of which they exhibited with such obvious glee.

People elected him to cleanup the house.

The problem was that the rats that also live in the house did not like being kicked out.

So now the people will have wasted money to determine if they want to allow the rats to rule the nest or the people.

The rats have already forced the state to spend money that could have enhanced the state.

I have been a lifelong WI resident, and let me just say that I can not wait until June 5. Since Empiral Commander Walker has come to power: my property taxes have gone up, 18 teachers from my school district lost their jobs last year, 22 more this year. My childs class size 2 years ago was 17, this year its 25 and next year they're telling me probably 32. Our state has lost more jobs than any other state. Tell me again how this is good?

JUNE 5 - CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH

Yeah he won on the Teapublican surge and an anemic Democratic turn out which will not be the case this time.

But we have one of the lowest unemployment rates vs other states in the union. So its expected, if you're intelligent and understand economics.

Edit: Dont like your property taxes? Move to a border state with lower property taxes... Oh wait you can't, because we don't have any border states with lower property tax. Odd.

And this makes losing the most private Sector jobs in the Union better how so we can make the Unemployment rates higher??

We rank 17th btw for unemployment rates/State.

Yes. Look. Its. All. Fucked. What. Shall. We. Do?

<Insert panic and partisan bickering mind control here>

Seriously.

Republicans suck.

Democrats suck.

If you think one is better than the other you're fucking retarded. It's a shame so many tax payer dollars are being wasted on this nonsense.

That's a consequence of unwittingly electing right wing extremists- there's backlash.

Honest people with a reasonable agenda running the state could easily have avoided this, but that's not who's running the state.

I find it interesting that even with the dems being mobilized by their puppet masters, it is still a dead heat between the two candidates.
