You think politicians should be supported by people based upon peer pressure from other citizens? That if other people think a politician is popular, you should support him, too? That's crazy!

You don't really think like that, do you?

Walker isn't running against President Obama. Walker is trying to run his state. Walkers approval ratings compared to other governors of other states doesn't even matter. All that matters is what Walker's citizens think of his performance.

And enough of them are upset with his poor performance, that he's undergoing a recall election, along with four more State legislators, and the Lt. Governor.

Now, they may all win, they may all lose, it may be split, but that's the fact of it.

Unemployment is at the lowest level WI has seen in the last 4 years. Remember Job creation doesn't happen overnight and it definitely doesn't happen when the democrats fight everything you try to do in court to create jobs. You can't yell about jobs when your side is out there fighting companies that want to bring jobs to the state.

Wisconsin is 49th in job creation, seven straight months of job losses. Yes, one can yell about that.

I wish you'd stop with the "your side" stuff. This isn't South American soccer.

Yes indeed: many people have concerns about removing regulations that protect the environment; and do not support "job creation" at any environmental cost.

Yes I have plenty of family members and relatives that work in public service in WI. I have even more friends many whom are employed by the City or County of Milwaukee. Many of them are not happy about some of the changes Walker has brought, but understand why things needed to change. Nobody is ever happy when things are taken from them. A lot of them are not very happy with their own union and how things were handled by their union after Walker's changes

And they are free to vote in the recall elections.

Walker asked for massive concessions from the unions, to help with budgeting, and the unions gave those concessions to him right away, and willingly.

So Walker continuing on to bust the unions, for no reason, to remove their rights as workers, in a state with a long history of strong unions and a strong middle class formed from unions, was abhorrent to them.
