How can the unemployment rate in the state of WI continually decline but yet the state lose 23k+ jobs?

Simply answer this question for me: why are you not worried about multiple felony arrests of multiple employees out of Walker's office at his last government job?

Doesn't that raise some white flags for those worried about law breaking?

What about Walker being caught lying on video about his ALEC-given goal of union-busting? Doesn't lying outright to his constituents worry you?

Unemployment and jobs available are not mutually reflexive numbers completely and inversely dependent upon one another. You are relating two separate things. The long-term unemployed people are falling off the rolls and failing to be counted.

According to the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics Wisconsin had the worse jobs numbers in the country for 2011. The real numbers just came out after Walker's faked press release numbers last week showing the real job loss was over 6,000 the past month.

At a time when Wisconsin's jobs statistics are under scrutiny as never before, preliminary data released Thursday showed that Wisconsin lost an estimated 6,200 private-sector jobs in April.

Not talking about available jobs, talking about job losses/gains. Good to know when the numbers work in your favor they are rock solid (even though they are from a survey of 3.5% of total businesses), but when the Government comes out with revised corrected numbers that are based on 96.5% of businesses they are completely made up and false since they didn't come out in your favor. Totally explains why there is a recall in WI right now....

If somehow Barrett wins then the dems get what they want. It will be solely because they get their people to the polls. good for them. Then we will see what they will do to rectify the problems of the state.

Walker declares that if he loses his election, it will be due to massive and substantial one-sided voter fraud and Democratics cheating.

His allegation, of course, is completely disproven by ... well, facts.

But this is Scotty Walker. Facts don't matter.

Per Dave Weigel, Slate
http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/20...wisconsin.html

There might be some question. The voter fraud issue was investigated in Wisconsin fairly recently, in the form of an Election Fraud Task Force and a deep dive into 2008's vote results.

The yearlong investigation charged 20 people -- this in an election with around 3 million ballots.

For fraud to equal "one or two points" in that election, you'd have needed 30,000-60,000 phony ballots.

The proven fraud actually amounted to 0.0007 percent of all votes.

The people who oppose voter ID laws say they're doing it to rescue the votes of poor or elderly people who lack current IDs. Sure, yes, this would probably be the cover story they'd use if they were trying to make life easier for criminals. But perhaps they're not! It's a possibility Walker rules out.

Interesting again that when you are supplied with facts that you believe work in your or the democrats favor they are the gospel, but when the facts work against you they are made up.

I noticed you skirted the whole Tom Barrett not showing up for the Ceremony for the fallen police officers in the City of Milwaukee when he was supposed to give a speach. Luckily someone with integrity and caring was there to step in and spend time with those families. When Barrett was asked the next day where he was he said " I don't remember I will have to check my schedule and get back to you". Well if it was so important that he couldn't be there to help support those officers that gave their lives in his City you would think he would have known at least where he was. Amazing that all other politicians found time to be there, but Barrett did not. Oh yeah Barrett was campaigning with some union members. Not a smart campaign move for Tommy

Obama and the dems are distancing themselves from Barrett. Campaign is crumbling and Barrett is trying desparately to hold on to what he has left. The only thing he has is the "John Doe" investigation, which has been addressed already numerous times. Good luck in 2 weeks

Wisconsin only has magical "job gains" when using a unique and individualized methodology to calculate, outside the normal and outside of what every single state in the country, including Wisconsin, use normally.

The Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics jobless numbers are the gold standard.

Except when Scott Walker doesn't like them showing the worse job loss in the country in Wisconsin under his watch

Did you want to stick to ad hominem?

Didn't know I was supposed to address it here. Why don't you?

Obama will probably be in Wisconsin in the next two weeks. The head of the DNC will be there for sure. So not sure what you are thinking regarding "distancing". It's rather the opposite.

Good luck to you, too! I hope the turnout is legendary, thus truly represents the will of the people of Wisconsin.

Not ready to underestimate the dems yet. They have buses running in the city of milwaukee getting people to the polling place. There is early voting going on and the dems are doing their best to get out the vote. It will be closer than it should be.

The Congressional House Oversight Committee has observed that Scott Walker's testimony doesn't match his video record.

He has until 4 days before the election to contact Congress, justify or change his official testimony or risk Congressional perjury charges.

The Walker-Barrett debate will be televised tonight on C-Span. Walker will certainly be asked about this.

Committee Democrats Press Governor Walker for Explanation of Videotape that Conflicts with His Testimony

Washington, DC (May 25, 2012)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and Committee Members Gerald Connolly and Chris Murphy sent a letter to Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker seeking answers to three simple questions about his 2011 testimony before the Committee in light of a new videotape that appears to contradict his statements.

Despite testifying under oath that he never “had a conversation with respect to [his] actions in Wisconsin and using them to punish members of the opposition party and their donor base,” a newly uncovered video taken three months earlier shows Walker explaining to one of his biggest financial donors that he plans to use a “divide and conquer” strategy against public sector workers in order to turn Wisconsin into a “completely red state.”

Today’s letter follows a previous letter the Members sent to Chairman Issa requesting that he ask Walker to explain his testimony before the Committee.
