I hope the Republicans "deal with it" if the buyer's remorse of the People of Wisconsin is real, and they are recalled. Passing a union-busting bill that increases the state's debt isn't what the GOP campaigned upon, nor what the people voted for.

Wisconsin's Republican "prototype" is being duplicated in other states as we speak: Michigan is working on recalling the union-busting pols there, as is Florida.

Edit:

Wisconsin Democratic Party announces today it will go forward with trying to recall of Gov. Scott Walker as soon as he becomes eligible http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...c7HH_blog.html

“We will not stand down — and next year, we will recall Scott Walker from office,” Tate will tell the crowd, according to the excerpts. “We will begin to repar the damage done to this state and we will begin a new with a Democratic Governor who will fight for our children, who will fight for our families, our teachers and our firefighters. We will fight for the people — not the powerful.”

As for the Wisconsin Republican side, yesterday, it was revealed that Wisconsin GOP were recorded on a secret audiotape, talking about creating a fake Democratic candidate to run in the recall primary against Democrat Schilling in an effort to delay the recall election of Republican Sen. Dan Kapanke. http://lacrossetribune.com/news/loca...cc4c002e0.html

And here is an audiotape of Rep. Dan Kapanke himself, last week, talking about how he hopes the union people "sleep in" on election day so he will not lose http://www.jsonline.com/watchdog/noq...122990663.html

State Sen. Dan Kapanke was hoping public employees would sleep through his possible recall election.

Instead, the La Crosse Republican has given them a very loud wake-up call.

In a recorded talk to local Republicans last week, the second-term legislator said he was worried that there are so many state and local workers in his Senate district.

"We've got tons of government workers in my district - tons," Kapanke said May 25 at the Cedar Creek Golf Club in Onalaska. "From La Crosse to Prairie du Chien and to Viroqua and to Ontario and to Hillsboro, you can go on and on and on. We have to overcome that. We've got to hope that they, kind of, are sleeping on July 12th - or whenever the (election) date is."

During the candid chat, Kapanke said he was one of three Republicans in serious jeopardy of losing in a recall election.

The other two, he said, are Sen. Alberta Darling of River Hills and Sen. Randy Hopper of Fond du Lac.

"We could lose me. We could lose Randy Hopper in the 18th or Alberta Darling over in - wherever she is - the 8th, I believe," Kapanke said.

Poor Republicans. This is one of those "deal with it" issues, I guess.
