No one is losing their job. They're just going to have to kick in for their health insurance and pension. You know like the rest of America. And the only reason I do give a shiat about Gov employees is because I pay their salary.

When you grow up and start paying taxes maybe you'll feel the same.

Unless you're a multimillionaire and live in Wisconsin then your feigned outrage is just that.

I'm sick of you broke RINO lovers who think that having six figures in the bank and other investments puts you in the club with the elite.

You're not. All you are is an idiot who likes seeing people suffer because you have delusions of paying for their salary.

Take those pennies and shove them up your cavernous as.shole, b.itch.

Cool Wisconsin people have spoken! Republican way the right way

So after 31 million has been spent on this recall election, what happens the republicans stay in control. It just goes to show you that the people agree with what walker is doing. He was elected to fix the mess that was left behind. Balance the budget, get rid of deficit and stop the train debacle. As for you people who think he cost people jobs, he hasn't hes just doing what it takes to fix the mess left by doyle. Too bad obama isn't paying attention he could learn from walker. Oh by the way by this time next week the republicans could gain 2 more seats. Hopefully now the protesters will leave our state so we don't have to investigate anymore ballon popping incidents!

Default Spin faster, spin faster, Republicans!

LOL - I'm sorry I was late to this party. I see the union-busters have already had their day in the sun. So let's put this in a different light without the desperate spin:

Six conservative long-time-Republican districts in Wisconsin were so infuriated with what their elected officials were doing, that they got enough signatures to hold recall elections of every eligible GOP candidate they had in office.

The Republicans, on the other hand, could only muster recall elections against three of the five Democrats eligible. One already won his election. Two more are coming up.

These conservative Republican districts then were so mad at what their Republican representatives were doing to their state, they kicked out two of their own Republican representatives, and replaced them with Democrats.

It's fun to try and spin this as a "Republican win" - for losing two of your staunchly GOP seats? To Democrats? In bright red conservative districts?

To put this in perspective, only 13 times in this nations history have voters elected to recall state officials.

Wisconsin now holds the record with 2 at once, and it was kicking GOP out of their own conservative districts, too.

These new Democrats in the Senate, along with the Republican Senator Schultz, who has started caucusing with the Democrats (as he's not a Walker pawn, he votes with his conscience) gives the Democrats equal sway with the Republicans, effecting requiring both parties to have a crossover vote to get anything passed.

Walker's agenda has been removed from the fast-track. He no longer holds an automatic majority. He's been rendered "bipartisan" if he wants anything to pass.

This is no "reinforcement" of Walker's agenda: these popular Republicans were not elected last fall. Quite the opposite - they were elected two years ago, and were popular in their districts. They have nothing to do with Walker, other than voting for Walker's ALEC-RGA-Koch agenda goals.

The third race with Darling was neck and neck for hours, with Republican Stooge Kathy the Clerk (she of the "oh, look I found 7,000 more votes for my man a day later) trying again to withhold revealing votes until tomorrow (today). That brought an immediate rain of charges of voter fraud and legal hassle down on her head - thus she let them go, although it wasn't until near or after midnight. The other candidate did lose by few percentage points.

Overall: Walker recall in January goes forward, with a very fired-up Wisconsin.

And Walker has some worries, because his recall won't be conservative districts kicking out Republicans. He has two massive Democratic strongholds he has to carry and outnumber.

Yesterday also had a recall election in NH, where a GOP was replaced by a Democratic.

So those in Michigan and Ohio, also with recalls under consideration, are very excited for the momentum.

As is the Democratic party going into 2012, where current polling shows they have a good change of retaking the House.

ROR !

The additional problem is that all of these Republicans, even the ones that one, performed far worse than their previous winners. The Republican brand is not strong nor as supported going forward.

If you are a polling geek, this is bad news for the Republican brand, to have lost so much cred so quickly.
Five of the six districts have markedly dropped in Republican support this recall election

Sounds like a speech you'd give a t-ball team after they lost for the second time. I'll predict with the outside union influence defeated and gone from the State 2 of the 3 dem seats will go over to the GOP next week.

Glad you feel so good losing though. Good game!

That's so funny how you try to spin it and justify it. You remember when Walker told the Unions, "I'm gonna bust you, because you need to contribute more". And the Unions immediately agreed to kick in more for their pensions and health care.

The unions agreed to 100% of Walkers budget requests, immediately.

And Walker busted them anyway.

Oh, Walker, that liar! Pushing his ALEC-Koch-RGA agenda of state law changes.

And that makes you nothing but a disingenuous Union-buster, too.

This wasn't a union busting bill, unions representing private sector workers are not a part of the law.

This was a law protecting the taxpayer from being extorted by public workers' unions. When you have unions paying to elect officials who then pay back unions with crazy one-sided contracts there is a problem. It was based on fiscal responsiblity not some imagined 'hate' the Governor has for public workers. He was simply fixing a wrong and looking out for the taxpayers of the great State of WI first!
