On Wisconsin!

BTW Russ Feingold is the kiss of death. Start, 'turn out the lights'. Feingold lost in a landslide similar to Walker's landslide win. He is as foreign to a WI voter as a Chicago Streets and San guy protesting in Madtown who got his job from a guy named Solis coming out of boot camp. Not US military boot camp mind you, but Cook County as in Jail boot camp.

Keep that out of state fire lit though. Some of the farmers may get lazy should WI do well in the NCAA tourney coming up!

:zz: Feingold is foreign to Wisconsin voters? You mean where they kept re-electing him as a State Senator for 10 years, and then kept re-electing him your US Senator from 1993 to 2011? And now there are 71,000 signatures to get him on the recall vote ballot with Walker?

I don't think "foreign" was the adjective you were looking for :rolleyes:

Believe me outside of Milwaukee and Madison Feingold is as foreign as Obama.

did riot attend the protest....

Yay, Governor Walker! Way to go with what's most important: supporting education! Good thing you gave $140 million in unfunded tax incentives to corporations a couple weeks ago, and refuse to look at the fact that 2/3 of Wisconsin corporations pay no tax to the state whatsoever. Now that you did that, and took your budget surplus to give that corporate gift, and now you have a $136 million deficit this year you have to cover: well, the kids can help you pay for your love of corporations over children with their future.

The Koch brothers are proud of you for keeping your loyalty to corporations, rather than your citizens, surely.

More good news for Mr. "I won't take yes for an answer!" Walker.

LMAO

FTFY, buddy ;)

Survey shows Walker and eight Republican State Senators vulnerable to recall
An estimated 1.1 million Wisconsin voters would sign a recall petition if asked

"Walker will not be subject to a recall until he has served one year in office. After he has served one year, a recall would require the signatures of approximately 532,970 voters (25% of the total 2010 gubernatorial vote). Based on the results of this most recent survey and microtargeting models, it is estimated that more than 1.1 million voters statewide would be willing to sign a recall petition if asked".

Outside of Milwaukee and Madison WI news

Rep. Evan Wynn, who represents the 43rd Assembly District, said that, despite the media attention given to pro-union protesters, supporters of the bill outnumber opponents.

“The protesters have been loud, but I believe they’re a vocal minority,” Wynn said. “I see where Tim Cullen said the state is split 50/50, but I feel it’s 60/40 in favor of the bill. Mr. Cullen and the other Senate Democrats were in hiding, while the rest of us have been here working and communicating with our constituents.

“This thing is bigger than the budget or collective bargaining,” he added. “It’s about what system of government we want, and not the minority dictating things to the majority. It’s about making this state great.”

Longtime state Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, said no amount of intimidation from protesters would keep him from voting for the bill.

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!AMEN! the dumming down of america. may source wisdom save my grandchildren. mote.

Strange statement. I wonder what alternate reality this guy is living in? That's not objectively true according to the signs of the 100,000 that were there this weekend, or the 70,000 last weekend (when a few thousand counter protesters showed up, bussed in by the Koch brothers "Tea Party" group), nor the thousands within the capital building this week.

Nor according to current public opinion polls that say 61% of Wisconsin citizens support the right to collectively bargain and disagree with Walker trying to take that away.

Oh! I see! He's going with "belief". Not "facts" :D Who knows, maybe his individual district is telling him differently than the Wisconsin polls are showing.

Another Walker attempt to break the law fails for now
 

There is a Wisconsin law that says the Wisconsin capital must be open to free, unrestricted access by the public.

Governor Walker, over the last two days, has tried to circumvent that law, ordering access restricted since late Sunday night (limiting who can come in, denying access to most of the public)

A lawsuit was immediately filed late Sunday evening, with judge contact first thing Monday morning for a hearing to get a temporary restraining order on Walker, on behalf of the owners of the building, the public.

Walker does have a problem: he is supposed to broadcast his budget speech Tuesday, and the protesters are now going to provide background to that, as he couldn't eliminate them and make them go away.

Walker is still trying to screw everyone and anyone associated with the other party:

Holding paychecks for Democratic senators hostage (eliminated direct deposit, passed a resolution they have to come to the floor of the Senate to pick up their paycheck)

Making Democratic Senators current state employees (who are still working in the capital, serving the public) have their work hours signed off on by someone else, not permitted to be signed off by their boss.

Forbidding Democratic Senator current state employees from using the copy machines. Seriously. Walker has forbidden Senate Dem office employees from using their copy machines. If these public employees need copies, they now have to leave their office, go to a main office, get approval, then be allowed to use the copier.

The teachers in Wisconsin are 28th in the nation by their level of pay and benefits, but they are #1 in the nation in amount of children they get graduated from high school.

I believe that article is a national poll not Wisconsin residents. Riots poll numbers state Wisconsin residents.

Dell quit trying. Reasoning with Riot is like trying to work out new contracts with the teachers union.

BTW- anybody want to talk about how MATC (for those outside of wisconsin) Milwaukee Area Technical College that quickly signed a 3 yr contract extension in an emergency meeting prior to Govenor Walker's proposal?

The biggest joke is the teachers union say they are willing to accept the cuts; however if they do not get rid of collective bargaining their word means absolutely nothing since they do not have the right to negotiate for every municipality in the state.

Riot put no link up to her poll though I suspect it's the USA Today national survey.

I know twitter tells the whole story. No need to be here!
