Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is a liar and this new-released video from January 18, 2011, proves it.
The video shows Walker sucking up to Beloit billionaire Diane Hendricks, to a top campaign donor, who asked Walker whether he could make Wisconsin a "completely red state, and work on these unions, and become a right-to-work" state.
Hendricks was referring to right-to-work laws which prevent private sector unions from making employees pay union dues if they choose not to join the union.
Walker told Hendricks the "first step" would be "to divide and conquer" through his budget adjustment bill, which cut collective bargaining for most public employee unions. "That opens the door once we do that," Walker said.
The video proves that he was LYING when he said his polarizing law to gut collective bargaining rights for most public workers was meant solely as a budget-balancing measure.
The Journal Sentinel says Hendricks has since given $510,000 to the governor's campaign, making her Walker's single-largest donor and the largest known donor to a candidate in state history.
The video was shot by filmmaker Brad Lichtenstein, who has worked for Democratic campaigns and has donated to Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, Walker's opponent in the June 5 recall election. The video is part of a documentary, As Goes Janesville, which will be shown this fall at film festivals and at PBS stations.
Walker was asked about the video today.
"It was a year and a half ago, so I don't remember the particulars of that discussion." Walker said. "Most politicians say things and don't follow up on them."
We will have a lot more on this tonight on The Ed Show at 8pET on MSNBC with John Nichols, Washington Correspondent of The Nation.

Since when is Walker being a liar news?

How do you know a republican is lying? His lips move. That about tells you the whole story right there, the right lie so much that they believe their lies and if they repeat the lie 3 times it becomes indisputable fact.
Robme actually, early in his campaign, "if you believe it, it's true." Shows how he justifies his lies. Just beleive them.
Hi Larry, I won't be able to be on line this evening, so keep the trolls in check for me. You, too, Chris and TM.

How much (legal) trouble is Walker in?
By: Ben
There is a sign that has begun to be seen around Wisconsin. It reads: “My governor has a criminal defense fund.”
It is not displayed with pride.
Wisconsin has historically been a state distinguished by its commitment to honest governance. Candidates and officials might disagree on the issues. They might be Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals. But they shared one thing: a faith that public servants should maintain the highest ethical standards.
It was not that long ago that the mere suggestion that a Wisconsin official engaged in “Chicago-style” politics had the potential to be electorally disqualifying. Indeed, it was not that long ago when statewide elected officials were fined for accepting cups of coffee from special-interest hangers-on.
We were harshly critical of former Gov. Tommy Thompson when he stretched the ethical boundaries by developing tax and transportation policies that benefited industries that had been generous to his campaigns.
We were even more harshly critical of former Gov. Jim Doyle when his determination to side with special interests put him at odds with Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager, who maintained the honest progressive tradition of defending rules and regulations that protected Wisconsinites from abusive corporations.
Thompson got mad at us. So did Doyle.
So be it.
We have never been bothered by the accusation that The Capital Times is too picayune, too demanding in its defense of the ethical standards established by Robert M. La Follette, Phil La Follette, Walter Goodland, Gaylord Nelson, Warren Knowles and Lee Sherman Dreyfus.
We are proud that Wisconsin has a history of aspiring to higher standards. And we are certain that most Wisconsinites want to see a return to those standards.
The upcoming recall elections will decide whether that is possible.
While past governors have had their ethical challenges, Gov. Scott Walker is in an ethical — and legal — league of his own.
In recent days, Walker has been dogged on his recall election campaign trail by questions about when exactly he decided to hire a team of criminal defense lawyers to help him navigate the challenges posed by an ever-expanding John Doe inquiry into allegations of felony wrongdoing by individuals he employed as aides and hit up for campaign contributions.
Walker also faces questions about why he worked so hard to suggest in February that he only recently began hiring former federal prosecutors and lawyers with experience defending criminal conspirators — when, in fact, it now appears that he began assembling a defense team as much as a year ago.
What is known is this: Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm has for the better part of two years been investigating a wide range of alleged criminal activity by Walker aides and campaign donors. That inquiry has touched the governor’s inner circle — his press secretary has, for instance, sought and received immunity; and the FBI has raided the home of one of the top political appointees in his current administration.
Now we learn from the governor’s financial disclosure forms that as of Dec. 31, 2011, he had already run up more than $50,000 in bills owed to a Chicago-based firm that engages in criminal defense work. He also owed between $5,000 and $50,000 to a Milwaukee firm that engages in criminal defense work.
In addition, his campaign has shelled out at least $115,000 to hire lawyers from a Milwaukee-based law firm and a Washington, D.C., firm to deal with the John Doe investigation.
Walker does not deny that the meter is still running. In fact, he has set up a legal defense fund to collect money from wealthy donors.
It is important to recognize that Walker’s establishment of a legal defense fund, his hiring of a team of criminal defense lawyers and moves by the governor and his campaign to retain
four top law firms to help deal with an investigation into official and campaign corruption does not mean that Scott Walker has committed any crimes. That is for prosecutors, judges and juries to determine.
But the governor’s refusal to speak openly or frankly about the fact that he has, indeed, organized a legal defense fund and that he is, indeed, “lawyering up” is another issue.
This is something new for Wisconsinites. The state of Gaylord Nelson and Warren Knowles, of Lee Sherman Dreyfus, Bill Proxmire and Russ Feingold does not have much experience with legal defense funds and the retention of criminal defense lawyers by the state’s top elected officials.
Scott Walker has a responsibility to answer questions about his response to the John Doe probe, about why so many people who were hired by him, who worked at his side (and in some cases continue to work at his side) and who helped to fund his campaigns seem to be in so much trouble.
He needs to speak to the questions of what he knew about this investigation, and when he knew it, about whether he is in trouble and whether that trouble should be weighed by voters as they consider whether to retain him as their governor.
From Madison.com.
In other words, HE'S A REPUBLICAN!
This is the True Volter Fraud, which these Republicans seem to care about. HUH
Um, yes, we do want to move forward and move on, Walker, that is what the Recall is all about. However, the damage is done and isn't fixed yet, Walker, and the fact that Walker is NOT apologizing says a lot, and to claim he doesn't remember, just like the John Doe. He ends the interview, "For 15 months almost I've been under attack," he said. - REALLY? Now who has been under attack here? Not ONE apology to the public, and not one acceptance for what he said - he said he didn't remember/ BS!~
This State will have the sanity Restored, once Walker is out of office.
He added: "It's interesting to me that our opponents want to rehash, replay the debate. I think the vast majority, myself included, want to move on, move forward."
Asked about his use of "divide and conquer" in the video, Walker said: "A year and a half ago, I don't remember all of the particulars. We talked about the fact that someone needed to stand up and stand on behalf of the taxpayers."
OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS - What changed? He is under RECALL, and trying to change his tune - deep down that is what he wants, and look at the options later - as stated in the interview with JSOnline. So, a year-and-a-half-ago, is OLD history, do not think so...the damage is done.
"As I've said repeatedly over the last few months, I have no interest in pursuing right-to-work legislation in this state," Walker told reporters. "I think it is clear what I've learned from the past year, and I feel strongly about, is people don't want to go back and replay that debate." -- "It was a year and a half ago, so I don't remember the particulars of that discussion. I think it was very clear about standing up and saying somebody needs to stand up on behalf of the hard-working taxpayer
Did Scott Walker talk about his claims, and plans in the Public Meeting, it was a one-on-one with top donor - um, we know he didn't - "This wasn't anything covert. This was a public discussion as I walked into a building where people were there for that meeting," Walker said
This Governor seems to be making a whole lot of critical mistakes, and wants us to forget about it? He had the trust and respect, and he violated continuously. He thought he would not get caught, didn't he. Wants us to forget the divisive pitting and chaos in our State, and that we have LOST jobs consecutively, and is part of a John Doe Investigation, we are to forget about it? No, live up to the mistake, and take the price that all must pay when making bad mistakes. Walker has been given more than 9-lives, and enough is enough. It is clear he cannot be trusted, and it will take years and years of redemption for forgiveness to prove he can be trusted. He has lost that trust and respect, when it was given to him without asking. Now, he is done.
"Oh! what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive!...," Gov. Walker Scott (its actually Sir Walter Scott - LOL)

It's important to shine the light of truth on Scott Walker, crook, soon to be ex-governor of WI.

India, Hot date tonight? lol
Enjoy your evening
LOL. Hot date at the fire department! Ha!
All of Ed's Walker bashing may fill up some time for his nightly show, but Wisconsinite's minds are made up and no one is changing theirs.....
Madison - The Government Accountability Board announced Monday that just over 931,000 signatures had been submitted to recall GOP Gov. Scott Walker - well over the 540,208 valid signatures needed, but short of the more than 1 million signatures recall organizers had said they had turned in.
It is the first time the board, which runs state elections, has provided any kind of official number of how many signatures against Walker were submitted in January. Nearly 843,000 signatures were submitted against Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, the board found.
State elections officials also determined Monday that recall elections must be held for four Republican state senators, and they said they want voters going to the polls on May 8.
The board found there were:
At least 18,282 valid signatures to recall Fitzgerald, above the 16,742 signatures needed to recall him.
At least 18,511 valid signatures to recall Galloway, above the 15,647 signatures needed to recall her.
At least 18,657 valid signatures to recall Moulton, above the 14,958 signatures needed to recall him.
At least 19,142 valid signatures to recall Wanggaard, above the 15,353 signatures needed to recall him.
The board also rejected legal arguments the senators raised in attempts to halt their recalls.

You bet they aren't.
All of the rights butt kissing up to Walker amounts to less then nothing. Gee the right yet again defends the scum of the earth.
The Right...aren't.
Beats reading "My Pet Goat" while the World Trade Center is destroyed.
Recovering? From what?
OTB, what's the matter little boy....are you lost? Aren't they giving you enough attention on the right? Try a little harder they may just let you back on the Faux News vine, because you feel so entitled to be heard by one and all!
You mean we're recovering from a recession? When did that start?
Trying fix GWBs mess. With a do nothing GOP congress.
And if he spent that much, your GOP buddies in the Had to pprove it. The have the purse strings.
He did turn things around Einstein, thats why he'll be re-elected. Damn you people are dumb.
Dic, suffering from high anxiety because you know your nutcase teabaggers are getting creamed this november?.. you should.
And get ready to have your asses handed to you this november. What a loser you are. Now you know deep down the people are sick of the teabaggers and their insane agenda and your anxiety forces you to come here and be a petulant child that needs to be taken to the woodshed, but fear not you'll always have Oxyrush and Glenn beck to cry with.
@John,
I'm sorry, but Obama has wakened that rest of the Conservative party, not just the tea party, with his stance on Gay Marriage. Obama was a fool. He thought this was popular by the polls. But most will say they're for Gay Marriage because it's politically correct, but when they get into that booth, they vote their true conscience. That's why every vote, even in California, when it's put to the people, it's voted down. Might be the nail in the coffin for Obama.
Define what you think 'wakened' is. You ass/u/me alot. And you know what that will get ya...lol.. What about new york?
he is such a slime ball, so sad that people still will vote for him, he has hurt so very many people in WI, and romney the robot thinks he is just the best thing since iced tea. So very sad
Takes one to know one.
Walker like all the Reichwing party want the whole nation to be a reich to work state. Funny its falls reich into line, They hate Jews in this country but want war in the homeland. I don't really want to be converted into a Mormon do you?
Makes a helluva lot more sense that a dumbass teabagger holding up a sign that says..'No socialized medicine!...Leave my medicare alone'!.... Now THATS a classic!
Or how about "I'm a proud tea bagging citizen" then they got laughed at and looked what tea bagging was and ran for cover until the Koch brothers saved them with the tea party logo.
LOL...You're pathetic
LOL..Do you actually stop and read what you post? Tell me you didn't reproduce....
Divide and conquer! Isn't that what Hitler did?
Loophole in the IRS STOP CARL ROVE and his evil Citizens United NOW!

I found the so called bullying episode in the box "Dreams from my Father" page 60
It seems Obama was 10 years old, and in a new school. There was only one other black student .....a girl named Coretta. She and Obama we playing on the play ground together having a really good time, until a group of children accused Obama of having a girlfriend. He was l0 years old.....wasn't sure what a girlfriend might mean.....He was defensive of the accusation and denied it. She ran away embarrassed as well.
Obama states......"For the rest of the afternoon, I was haunted by the look on Coretta's face just before she had started to run away. Her disappointment, and the accusation. I wanted to explain to her somehow that it had been nothing personal; I'd just never had a girlfriend before and saw no particular need to have one back then. I didn't even know if it was true. I only knew that it was too late for explanations, that somehow I'd been tested and found wanting; and whenever I snuck a glance at Coretta, I would see her head bent over her work, appearing as if nothing had happened, pulled into herself and asking for no favors."
So you repugs want to declare a ten year old's first girl boy encounter as bullying?????
Why does the GOP hide behind PAC money and a fake party to write is legislation? Answer. They want to put and end to Freedom and Democracy and in its place a Corporatocracy.
Or a smart ALEC.
And just how is destroying everything accomplished in the last 100 years "conservative" causes"? OH, that's right, that's what the conservatives are trying to do. I guess taking away rights, earning ability, etc. could be classed "conservative."
Good afternoon all!!! Just ignore our ReReg Troll Obama the Dictatorfor he believes everything Rush and the righties have to say because they know if you keep repeating it, the right will easily believe it.....sheep to flock leader
Yes the Great Know It All OTD has all the answers....follow him to the promised land of cotton candy, Koch Kool-Aid, lollipops and best of all unicorn rides over a real rainbow! WWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
So sayeth Faux News
Try getting to something you haven't posted 10 times. And show us your sources. The person that edited 1 tape was fired before the day was over. But hell, we know Fox Lies never have edited anything. Wrong.
When Fox News Lies, Actual People Die
Fox News is usually so aggressively full of @!$%# that it's easy to believe that no one takes it seriously. I mean sure, you know that some people (maybe even people in your own family) are watching it and eating it up, but generally you let yourself believe that everyone deep down understands that it should be taken with enough grains of salt to fill the Atlantic Ocean. It's also tempting just to dismiss their special kind of hackery as either enraging or amusing drivel and leave it at that—and, yes, there are times when it even gives you a good laugh (after you're done weeping, of course). But then along comes a story like this to remind us that, in fact, the spread of outright lies masquerading as journalism does have real world consequences—and they can quite literally be deadly.
The story comes via Facebook, where Tracy Knauss posted the above image along with this message:
That is plainly awful, and, while this could easily be total bull@!$%#, it sadly doesn't seem to be. As Crooks and Liars points out, one Hallie Jean Mayes Knauss Culpepper, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, died on February 16th of this year. And her obituary describes her as a "lifelong, dyed-in-the-wool Republican." Her fear of doctors must have stemmed from all the death panel talk that never seems to end on that blessed network.
If you're tempted to think of Ms. Culpepper as some kind of ignorant crazy person, don't. She owned a company that manufactured stainless steel kitchen equipment and was a completely functional member of society. Sure, there might have been other factors involved in allowing her to be so paralyzed by this irrational fear, but certainly a healthy serving of blame for her reluctance to seek medical attention can be traced right back to the lovely "fair and balanced" folks at Fox News. In fact, those same folks might want to think twice before continuing to spread these kinds of lies. If their relatives like to watch the channel that employs them, they just might end up having the very same problem on their hands when Grandpa or Auntie Marion refuses to go to the doctor on account of the evil menace that is Obamacare and ends up dead.
Fox News Lies; An Elderly Woman Dies [
To add to what John in Texas brought to the conversation, how about the lie that got us into the ill begotten, unfunded, unprovoked war in Iraq? How many innocent Iraqi lives were lost due to that debacle in addition to the lives of our military? The sad thing is, the Republicans just can't wait to start another war in Iran which would have to be added to the debt/deficit. That's why they are trying to "beef up" the military budget, via the Paul Ryan budget plan, all the while, cutting vital social safety net programs for the less fortunate among us. They just never learn, this country can not afford to police the world, nor do we have any right to push Democracy down the throats of others. It doesn't seem to even be working out for us these days. Pretty soon, all the wealth and power will be in the hands of only a few. If the Republicans want to go to war so badly, let them and their loved ones go pick up a gun that they love so much, and go straight to the front lines, and impose a war tax on every US citizen to pay for it, and see how that goes over! My guess is that it wouldn't be well received. Spending is okay in their minds just as long as it furthers their agenda.
It would be funny if it weren't maybe perhaps true. While this exact story may not be real I would think it's self evident that there are many out there who do believe the dribble from that network no matter how many facts prove it wrong. There are people who believe Obama's a foreigner....point is that those ho denounce logic and reason as methods of problem solving can never be swayed by them
Don't worry 'lil Dic, HCR will fully kick in in a couple years and you can have all the affordable mental health care to cure that teabagger fetish of yours.
I wonder how long it will be before Walker puts up the GB Packers up for sale. Too bad I kinda liked the rivalry! GO VIKINGS congrats on the NEW STADIUM and its got a roof!
Obama/Vikings in 2012!!!!
Walker can never do that as the Packers are owned by the people not a person or corporation... Otherwise I wouldn't put it past him...
But the players are in a Union aren't they!
They are but that union is nationwide. Walker doesn't have that kind of power nor will he ever. I do see your point. I am not a Vikings fan but a Packers fan but glad to see the Vikes stay in Minnesota.
Join the President in support of Gay Marriage

Walker is NOT just a good guy who was trying to balance a state budget. He came in with an agenda to destroy unions. He considers a union employee who's just trying to keep his pension from getting stolen and his job from being outsourced as "the enemy". He has collected someting like 13 million dollars for his recall fight warchest in the past few months. Apparently sugardaddy billionaires are just fine with him but union members are communists in his book. Please Wisconsin, show this guy the door next month so I know there is hope for this country.
Were the white supremacists representative of the tea party? Any time you get hundreds of thousands of people together there will be undesirable elements that attach themselves to your cause. I'm no communist or socialist. I am a union member who's company is trying to steal my pension,take away my healthcare, and is sending American jobs overseas. Meanwhile my company's CEO's pulled down 49 million dollars last year alone. The union employee should not be considered the enemy in this country. Let's try to keep the middle class alive in America please.
My union does not even have the ability to touch my pension money so once again you make assumptions that are 100% WRONG.
For everyone who fight for the right to work state, obviously has no idea what a union does and why they were created in the early 1800's. Let put this example out there. Lets say I am in a union and you are not, since I am in the union they can fight in my name for the equality in pay to experience but if you are not who is going to help you, yourself, good luck with that. If unions did not exist then employers could hire people at the lowest possible wage they could find someone to work for them. This also means less qualifications and lower safety measures. Unions are design and created in the 1820's to protect the workers from income inequality and to improve the workforce. These are facts read a history book, stop trying to condemn the masses because of the actions of the few. This is not the military. If the right to work is going to continue we will eventually run into the problems the US faced in the early 1800's.
Today's unions are nothing like the ones that started it all. The union bosses (1%ers) look out for themselves, not for workers. But you sheep keep posting those same memes to make yourselves feel smart. I t just shows your bias.
Another classic example of a teabagger thats been kicked one too many times in the head by the boot they love to lick so much. Maybe you should try using ear plugs before what little brains you have left fall out....OOOPS!...TOO LATE!
So john where is your evidence that this is a lie. Union leaders getting paid like CEO's seems to be common sense....that was indeed a fact last time I checked
LOL...A CEO's bonus pay alone is 10 times what a union head makes. Common sense should tell them that, but common sense is not a trait the teabaggers have ever had to contend with.
John they get paid considerable amounts of money you know that. Point is what they and CEO's get paid is not relavent to any discussion save for one about what they get paid. That is not public policy issue.
Without the workers, the company is nothing.
Here ya go. FOS as usual 'eh 'lil Dic?
"Economy mobility Is Stronger In Union States"
The ability of American workers to be upwardly mobile in the economy depends heavily on where they live, according to a state-by-state analysis from Pew Charitable Trusts. The study, the first of its kind, found that workers in a group of states largely clustered in the Northeast and Midwest are more likely to achieve upward mobility, while workers in southern states are far less likely.
For the most part, the states in each group differ on one major characteristic: the states where upward mobility is more likely are almost all union states, while the states where mobility is less likely almost all are not. Of the eight states that outperform the national average for upward economic mobility, seven are union states, with Utah the lone exception. Eight of the nine that underperform the national average, however, are so-called “right to work” states, with Kentucky the only exception:
Chart via USA Today
When relative mobility is considered, union states look even better. Every state but one (Utah) that outperforms the national average on relative mobility, defined as the percentage of residents starting in the bottom half of the national distribution who move up 10 or more percentiles in a 10-year period, is a union state. Meanwhile, 14 of the 15 states that come in below the national average are right-to-work states, with Missouri the only exception:
Chart via Pew Charitable Trusts
Though the study didn’t find (or attempt to find) a direct correlation between union representation and mobility, an economist at the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research in Michigan told USA Today that higher mobility there is likely linked to higher wages in manufacturing and public sector jobs, both of which tend to be more heavily organized. Those ties also exist in the other union states, which rely more on manufacturing than the right-to-work states.
As ThinkProgress has previously noted, unions played a significant role in the construction of the American middle class, boosting the mobility of lower-income workers. The decline in union representation, meanwhile, correlates closely with a sharp rise in income inequality over the last 40 years. Other studies have shown that workers who join unions earn higher wages and are more likely to have health and retirement benefits, and that union membership increases the likelihood of upward economic mobility.
CC thats also a good point. But you know these teabaggers have to pull SOMETHING out of their asses to try and make an argument, no matter how stupid they look.
Ladies and Gentleman. This is a preview of what the GOP and their rubber stamp puppet Mitt Romney will do to America.
Funny how Walker recieved more votes than all of the dems put together and he wasn't even running!!! Ed and his astro turf recall is a joke!!! And you lib sheep keep falling for the same bs...hook, line, and sinker!!!
and more people signed recall petitions than voted for Walker in the original governor's race
I can't wait until that little Weasel uhhh... I Mean Walker has to TAP OUT Election Night after getting his A$$ handed to him HAAHHaaaaa!!
LOL! You're a funny little right winger. Do you even think before you type something? To quote another right wing extremist, "You lie"! walker was running. He had a recall primary opponent, who got 19,920 votes. As to the first part of your BS post, the Dem candidates received 670,318 votes, to walker's 626,538.

Watching Fox news 3 times a week, causes serious and medicaly untreatable Mental Retardation, ask any Doctor----------
Governor Walker. Wisconsin is going to WALK you right out of your office. Then the pain will continue as you will have to face your legal issues after that and we will get to see what you think about growing the economy and jobs when you loose yours.
let me put it brief and to da point, walker and all the cronies of the right wing, and letz not forget faux news, are a total disgrace to this great counrty!!!! waterboard them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ineverywoman"
You hit it on the head that Walker is more or less a poster little child of the right and what can and will happen if Romny gets elected.
I know this gets old to hear but when the rich (1%) have most of the money we are more near to being a third world country like Haiti to name one.
Obama the Dictator? Since when you paranoid dumb little fck? That's so far from reality but what do you expect from these lambs that follow Fox. I do watch Fox once in awhile but only for a chuckle. It's like watching All Star Wrestling or something of that nature. At least I'm open minded and do try and watch and understand what they are saying. I can't and never will because of all the stretches, out of context and many flat out lies they have to say. MSNBC spends half their time pointing this out and proving it one way or another. Fox doesn't do this very often, they spend most of their time making the crap up. This is what I've come up with anyway. I'm sure they disagree which is fine.
Otd,
Geez... read what I wrote! Or learn to. I have and will continue to listen to fox. With with an OPEN mind. Unfortunately, it's a joke and I laugh at it. Sorry, it's my opinion. The fact that you drew a fact from that shows how unstable and wrong you are when it comes to communicating... sorry I called you a paranoid little dumb fck, yea it was uncalled for :)
As for facts with you... I won't go there because it's a lost cause. I feel sorry for ya and you're too far gone like a lot of sorry ass people like Scott Walker. Walker is going to get what he deserves... his ass will be embarrassingly kicked out of office and there will be more of the same. It's obvious he's been been reckless train wreck like Romny could be.
Jake please don't feed the zoo animals(odic) it doesn't help.
Walker in the words of David Koch is their "first domino"
Most of Walker's money is from out of state probably because more people signed a petition to recall him than voted for him
Walker is in the middle of a potential ethics scandal since at least two of Walker's governor's race campaign staffer used public funds to support the shadow network which they kept hidden in their offices so they could hook it up to government computers
Walker is the first governor in WI history to have a criminal defense fund
WI is continuing to lose jobs at a rate higher than every other state
Walker has slashed public education and the fair pay act. Walker has said he is doing the will of the people but this clearly isn't the case and is what this is about
Well if you're a governor trying to make the case that you're helping wisconsin it doesn't help when most of your help is out of state. Unions are multi-state operations like companies being a governor is not. Not a foul as you foolishly tried to claim I said it simply adds to the image that what Walker wants is not about wisconsin it's about some larger agenda that's pulling his strings something which he vehemently denies. Now the other side doesn't hide that for them is about a larger agenda against the Walker types.
If the signatures were fraudulent how is a recall happening? Since I'm feeling benevolent I'll answer that question for you. See in order to trigger a recall they have to collect a set number of signatures otherwise it does not happen. Now there is a government accountability board which has to varify the signatures to find that the necessary number has indeed been collected. In this case there were thousands upon thousands of extras thus recall still on. They had more than enough signatures.
Course that doesn't change that WI is high on job losses since Walker has been elected. WI is losing jobs.
Walker is the first governor to have a criminal defense fund in the state's history.
He decided to slash public education because america is doing so well in that game. He decided to take away the ability for women facing unfair pay to get keep the added amount of time they had to go to court on it(fair pay act). Why was that needed?
Wisconsin is doing well under Walker it would seem so much so they want a recall which considering this is not even through his first term and he's a known employee to the Koch brothers who described him as their "first domino" makes this a very hot race
