I am not whining about the $ you are. Most of the $ from the national unions is not in yet. They are waiting on a candidate before they send all the $ in from the outside. Get a grip on reality. Saying that you want corporate owning out of politics makes you the biggest hypocrite on the planet. If I have to spell this out for you I give up. Just use that brain of yours and think about what has actually happened in the last few years nationally. You applaud the government for investing in and owning companies like GM, yet you want corporate owning out of politics. Makes sense

No, I was not "whining", I was laughing

And yes - when Unions agree to massive sacrifices, as the Governor asked for, but he busts the unions anyway, while demonizing public employees, police, fire, teachers: yeah, the citizens are going to rise up with over a million signatures to recall your sorry, ALEC-owned ass from office.

Five straight months of job loss in Wisconsin, opposite the national trend. Incompetence writ large.

If they lose the recall then Other states can follow suit with WI and start to take some power back to the citizens of their state and not with the unions.

That's why there are over a million recall signatures for your Governor, your Lt. Governor, and four Republican state senators. The citizens of Wisconsin signed those petitions. Not "unions".

You support Obama, yet feel that Walker is in the pockets of the Koch's. Actions speak much louder than words. If you believe that there is no place in corporate owning of our politicians you would not support Obama.

She thinks the loss taken on GM was somehow a success. Just sayin

Just the other day a poll showed that 50% approve of walkers performance. Also it is ridiculous to have these idiots shout out during his state address the other night. No need to protest you got your recall votes go home! These protesters still bitter about there choo choo train going up in smoke. I guess it doesn't matter to them that the majority of the state approves of walker. Keep it up walker ignore all the bitter losers the majority agrees with you!

Yeah, Dell. The saving of the auto industry, and over 100,000 associated jobs in that and ancillary manufacturing and supply industries in Michigan and nearby states, was a success by any measure. Especially as the vast majority of the loans are paid back, very little was written off, and the cold, hard financial assessment of that small loss versus keeping hundreds of thousands employed, and returning American auto manufacturing to the number one car purchased in the world, is a pretty straight ledger book black win for your fellow citizens.

You think that sucks You are also against healthcare for sick people, and religious freedom. So it goes.

Your comments on GM, the presumption that the only difference is scale, are a broadly superficial and ridiculous comparison to Walker enacting the ALEC agenda via ownership by the Koch Brothers et. al, unless you readily prove that the only reason GM got government money was political union payoff to the President of the United States. Considering that the unions gave massive concessions in pay, pensions and healthcare, and more non-union people than union benefited in the retention of the industry and associated manufacturing jobs, that will be a stretch. Unfortunately for you, your personal dislike of unions and Obama doesn't count as "proof". Especially as Bush's bailout was given with zero payback and conditions, but Obama's was not? But that does create the conspiracy theory in your mind that conflates the two as equal. I call that argument superficial, shallow, assumptive. You're free to hold the opinion. I do not. Call that what you will. However, I am willing to be convinced. Draw me a nice, clear picture of the factual details, and I'll be happy to change my mind to your point of view if your argument is strong enough. Go ahead.

Can you name one company that Walker has given tax payer $? It would earn you extra credit if that company has also donated $ to Walker's campaign.
