Except for having to fight like dogs to keep your seats next month in unprecedented recall elections initiated by your very angry electorate, furious at what you've done to them ;)

IL unions do not have a vote. For the most part the very angry, furious people were not part of the electorate, rather they were bused in from Chicago or had a day off of classes at UMAD. Don't believe everything you read. ;)

Will be out on the lake this afternoon and I don't expect to see a single angry-furious person, but we'll see. :)

But those allegedly "bussed in" people that you are making up were not the ones that signed - far in excess of the numerical requirements, and quickly - the petitions necessary for the recall.

Those were indeed angry, furious Wisconsin citizens.

You know, like the ones that demonstrated at the capital last night, and are set up in the Walker Tent City outside?

So yeah, Dell, wish your Republican representatives a "good vacation". They are desperately putting up fake Democratic candidates in the elections to try and force runoffs, so they can campaign for forgiveness another month before they are kicked out for unacceptable performance.

If your referring to the half dozen people present at the vote, they were lost after a night on Water St and were looking for a bathroom

Good op-ed on current political situation in Wisconsin

Kloppenberg recount cost a half a million dollars!
 

The recount of supreme court cost the tax payers of wisconsin half million dollars. But yet don't hear you bitch about that. You talk about union as though they are so great, they aren't. Its time people give walker and republicans props for trying to get the state deficit in order instead of keep burying our heads in the ground. Maybe obama and the rest of washington can learn this too. Quit spending money like its monopoly money! It doesn't work! As for the recall, i wonder how much money that will cost! In the end wisconsin will be fine and the protesters can no longer lock themselves to capitol rails with bike locks! Good job walker!;)

LOL - No, I don't "bitch" when citizens have the right to know if their elections were won by cheating or not.

Bush v. Gore mean anything to you, btw?

So there!

But their union-busting legislation doesn't do anything to help the budget, does it? Even the GOP says that. Hell, they passed it as a non-fiscal measure.

It won't be free. It's legal, according to your state Constitution, btw. The people have protections against their government, and this is one of them.

The woman declared herself the victor over a couple hundred votes yet challenged a defeat of 7,000 some votes and following the recount was affirmed that she was defeated by some 7.000 votes. Half million wasted but I'm sure in your peabrain it amounts to a $800,000 return. For christ sake you can't even understand how public employees, paying for in part their pensions and beni's helps the taxpayer. Obama had hope and you're hopeless! And a former Republican on top of it? LMAO :zz:

You're completely right and the people of WI realize what a waste of money and resources it was. For every act their is a reaction and the Dems calling for frivilous recounts and recalls has been recognized and will be acted upon by the taxpayers of WI.

BTW Those who pay no taxes or are employed by the taxpayer are in the Dems pocket anyway and are like little dependent children voting for their Dads.

Oh for christ sakes, your poor loser guy Prosser immediately - day after election - said he was demanding a recount, and filed a legal hold on the election results: until Waukesha suddenly came up with 7,000 votes. I didn't hear you whining about either the cost to taxpayers of that little temper tantrum, nor did we hear you decrying the nonsensical insistence by Prosser that the election not be certified and legal when he was over 7,000 votes in the hole. Talk about a poor loser wasting taxpayers money! Your hypocrisy and and lack of self-awareness knows no bounds. LMAO.

You mean "in the pocket" like Prosser the Supreme Court Justice said his job on the court will be to help Republican Governor Scott Walker pass legislation? Or like the President of your state Senate and the police department?

You and reality are like oil and water :D

You need to stop believing what you read about WI and come live it.

Teachers and test scores have been slumping in WI for a long time. Crime has remained low. Police deserve what they are getting just as the teachers do.

Did you know that well over half of WI gets its Fire Protection by volunteers? Now that's what Wisconsin is all about, independence and self-reliance. Not like some tenured teacher on the picket line for more time off or more money, putting the children he/she is supposed to be teaching, out of school.

You need to stop ignoring what is actually happening under your nose, and pretending it doesn't exist or more scarily, that it's good for you.

It's always strange to watch people choose to self-immolate.

here you go. Emotional LMAO !!!!!

:zz: I have no idea why you are changing the subject to bashing teachers. The discussion wasn't about that, nowhere close, but I guess you couldn't tell that? You're off on your own mental tangent.

I guess you're bashing just because you've been told, in the past year, that you must now bash teachers, and unions. And so you obediently do it, and you "think" about these things the new, "correct" way, as a good foot soldier should ;)

BTW, you failed to provide an author, a reference or a link, Dell.

Have you figured out, yet, why, in America:

In America everyone should be equally accountable for their own insurnace whatever the market dictates. To force someone to pay is a sin ;)

You know 'do not covet thy neighbors' goods'

But getting back to unions.

It was based on your opinion the WI Gov was somehow favoring police and not teachers and my point that teachers have failed in WI and cops deserve a star!

LOL - I didn't say that at all. You'd better re-read what I said, you've completely, totally misunderstood it. I'll give you a hint: the subject was graft and corruption, and who is in whose pocket.

and you presume the police were left out of the bill because of graft and corruption when in fact it was because they are doing a fine job. Unlike many of the teachers, who have proven themselves, unable to teach a kid to read, over a 12 year period!
