One of the GOP Senators, Schultz, is against Walkers agenda (voted against the union busting bill) and tends to vote independently, and has been caucusing with Democrats.

So there is no automatic Republican majority any more

You do realize the union bill was signed into law almost six months ago?

At least if the recall of Walker goes foward we'll be assured that those who cast a vote will actually be that person or at least have a valid ID proving such.

Are you referring to Kathy The Clerk trying to cheat again, and deliberately hold out votes until she sees how many are needed to ensure a win?

That's not what I said or was referring to, rocket scientist.

I said: Are you referring to Kathy The Clerk trying to cheat again, and deliberately hold out votes until she sees how many are needed to ensure a win?

As I said, and as anybody who was paying half-assed attention to the election Tuesday night would realize, was
I was referring to when, Tuesday night, she announced she would not be releasing the rest of the vote totals until Wednesday morning in Darling's district. The cry was overwhelming, and she changed her mind.

That has nothing to do with what Tate said. I stand behind what I say. I should not need to defend myself from nonsensical pretend crap you make up in your imagination. So don't whine about my "facts" when you aren't even talking about the same thing.

you stated she deliberately was trying to hold out the votes (by the way she was on the news during the election talking about what was going on and what was posted and when) and you called her a cheat. I am sure you have made mistakes during your professional career would you want to be judged the way she has been by the liberals, the media etc. Yes she made a mistake in the Prosser election. People make mistakes. That doesn't mean she deliberately did it nor does it make her a cheat which both you have suggested. Kind of like your judgment of David Prosser

Yes, I just quoted what I actually said. Which has nothing at all to do with the nonsensical crap you attempted to pretend I said. As I said, you don't whine about my "facts" when you aren't even talking about the same thing.

And as far as Judge David Prosser goes, I've seen him be a misogynistic j***azz, and a plain j***azz, on video. No "rush to judgment" there, just what he is for all to visibly see. He's also in deep trouble. Special prosecutor just requested. He's toast.

Ahead of WI Recall Elections Prosser Investigation Gets Special Prosecutor
August 3, 2011

After reviewing the Dane County Sheriff’s investigation into the alleged choking of a female Supreme Court Justice by Supreme Court Justice David Prosser, the Dane County DA is requesting a special prosecutor to review the incident. Due to the expense of a special prosecutor, this move suggests that the Sheriff’s report indicates that there may be validity to the charge that Prosser put Justice Ann Walsh Bradley into a chokehold on July 13, 2011.
....
The alleged choking incident occurred in Bradley’s office as the justices argued over the timing of the release of its ruling on an Open Meetings violation lawsuit soon after Justice Prosser won his seat back after an election fraught with accusations of fraud.

The actions and procedures of Republican county clerk Kathy Nickolaus during that election and the canvassing of it are being investigated (this is not her first go around with the law; she was granted immunity during an investigation into the Republican legislature when she worked for them as a computer data analyst).

However, before the logs were fully reviewed, Justice Prosser was declared the winner by the Government Accountability Board. His “win” maintained the conservative bent of the court, and as Prosser was billed as a “complement” to Governor Walker’s agenda, it was obvious (if disappointing due to the evidence) that if he won, the court would overturn the void on the union-killing bill.

awww.....missed it by that much!

[Danzig]

not quite the roi they were looking for i'm sure. odd isn't it, so many outraged-yet the vote doesn't change the status quo? wonder why that could be?


perhaps part of it is the recognition that asking state employees to do a bit more is just part of the overall effort that needs to be made by everyone? things have changed, people must as well. things cannot continue as they have.
