I agree. As much as I dislike quinn, I think recalls should be saved for clearly corrupt/incompetent governors. Like our last Governor who ended up in jail. He would be a candidate for a recall.
Recalling a Governor because you don't like a piece of legislation? Really? That makes me think they are just a bunch of whiny bitches who don't know how good they have it.
How is what the Republicans are doing any different than the Dems? If the Dems are going to use the recall process for political purposes why are the Republicans not allowed to play the same way?
Not that Ausm would see his hypocrisy though, he's just doing what he's told by the DNC and George Soros.
Please list all the sleazy tactics Dems have used in Wisconsin Elections please.
Turn on the tv during election time. They're all mudslingers. They're all selfish. They're all corrupt.
Your side included. Boohoooo.
When will people wake up and realize both parties are complete and utter garbage.
That's what the RepubliCons did to Grey Davis in California. Pay backs a bitch.
Payback? That was another state? And California is way more fucked up the WI, they shouldn't be following them on anything.
Regardless, it was stupid when they did it in CA too.
It's payback if all you care about is whether you're a republican or a democrat. I'll keep saying it. It's why the US system is broken.

Hint Political payback has been occurring since we became a Nation.
Not that hard to go up from the lows.
George Bush has gone up from 22% when he left office to 47% now, for doing absolutely nothing, which is a big improvement.
Republicans hope the year delay will help memories fade of Walker's wrongs. Hopefully not.
I think that is more of a statement of people seeing how bad Obama really is. It's like saying, you know, the last guy wasn't so bad.
The OP post only shows that there are still some politicians that vote based on principal and not party lines. It has nothing to do with him sticking it to one individual, it has to do with trying to keep the system from being gamed by one side or the other.
History has shown that when one side of the isle tries to impliment a policy that favors them, the other side will eventually use it too.
I'm gonna go on record as the other lifelong WI resident and say I don't think they'll be successful in their recall efforts.
Even among liberals I see Walker support growing everyday.
@ Ausm
If this recall of Governor Walker fails are you and your union brotherhood going to get together and drink some Jonestown kool aid?
Did you read the article?
This is a Republican that files this recall so that Walker can unleash unlimited funds against the real recall effort.
Republicans would sell their own mother to stay in power.

I am not talking about mud slinging adds which have been around since the beginning of our Democracy. What I am talking about is how the Republicans ran fake candidates for the original Republican Senator Recalls and how they launched a premature Recall for Walker so he could whore unlimited Koch bros funds.
Dam it who started all this crap.... running out of state, recalls, Fing the capital up... yes trashing it and then more recalls on top of it costing the state how much? Enough with the dam koch brothers B.S. Link all the crap you like we are all sick of this recall crap and the money it is costing us. You lost Walker has his term if you don't like it vote him out after his first term and stop blowing all our money.... yes how much is this going to cost WI for the ballet box?
The recall was never set up for a hissy fit!

That's just the thing. People like Ausm don't care what it costs Wisconsin, to him its all about doing the bidding of George Soros and Moveon.Org to try to steal an election that they lost. It IS a hissy fit. A bunch of fucking losers who can't win an election legitimately so they try to steal it.
I don't give a damn. The system was written hoping to NOT have a party system. By the third term we had 2 parties. Yes. But it did NOT start that way.
When it started has no bearing on whether it is right or good.
LMAO you must really OD on the Republican Kool-aid
Here's the thing though. I am not a member of the Republican party, I don't send them money at the national or state level. I don't send money to ANY political organizations or candidates, I don't subscribe to ANY political websites, blogs, etc.
I think my credibility about drinking the kool-aid is a little better than yours since you admit to donating to the DNC, Democrat Party of Wisconsin, Moveon.Org, and something else I can't remember..
