They need to do whatever it takes to get rid of him. It will affect voting throughout the country.
I do hope they succeed in ousting him from office. I hope they show the gop they mean business in Wisconsin, and scare the pants off some other republican Governors.
All they need to do is keep playing that telephone conversation with "David Koch" over and over and over.
David you are so right. "Walker we were sent here to do great things!" He has been a bully and a disaster for Wisconsin !
THE DEM. PARTY NEEDS TO WRITE THE CHECK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASAP !!!!!!!!!!!!!
DNC Phone # (202) 863 800
Give it a try now or later!
I agree. A Democratic state that does well will be a state which PBO may win.
Why don't they just throw the BUM in JAIL for good ? That way he could NEVER run for office nor could he ever VOTE again.
Ted...
I agree... even though Walker is spending millions to keep his Governorship, if he does succeed in keeping his office, he will be in jail for his fraudulent practices before long anyway.
Oh yeah you mean the democrats that left the state so they would stifle the vote. U- know abandon the taxpayers who sent them there, it just shows you, cant trust a democrat in office...Isnt that right Blogo...
Give it a REST on the "Democrats fled the state" clueless or that hideous budget would have passed in less than 2 weeks if they had not left to avoid the quorum!!!! It was the ONLY recourse we had or the gop controlled legislature would have steamrolled right over us with their majority vote and we'd be a "right to work for nothing state" with dictator emergency managers running cities and towns like Michigan by now!!!!
"The taxpayers who sent them there" didn't seem to upset about it. Not one Dem lost their seat due to recall. Can't say the same for the Republicans.
Listen to the crap your believing. So your saying if you don't get your way you just get up and leave. Thats ok really? Oh by the way most other jurisdictions already found the economic deals with the Unions regarding bargaining rights. I ts the responsibility of the elected to figure and hammer out a plan, but like good little cowards dems are, you proved your worth!
TED And D Scully. I believe in Karma and Walker has a state full of bad energy for his dirty deeds. I wonder if Blaglovich is hoping for roommate.
PAM - Now what's wrong with "BUBBA" being his cellmate ? Maybe it's "BUBBA" that wants Walker in there with him,have you ever thought of that ?
E.R. - Why don't you just shut the F*** up and leave !!!!!! Get the "hint,hint",pricks like you aren't wanted and you're lucky to get any responses to what you post on here.
Ted, Chill man. This has really got you fired up tonight. The Er person can post we can ignore. Now I will agree There's something more happening here with Walker than a recall. Allot of money has been thrown his way . He is a very devious and Yes I do think he would sell his soul like Blagovich to stay in office and BUBBA may very well send walker there if he fails.
Exactly teresa
The Democratic reps left the state in defense of their constituents, and representing their best interests. It gave the rest of the country the chance to see what Walker and his henchmen were really up to... union busting rather than budgetary issues.
It also forced Walker and his henchmen to reveal their true intentions instead of disguising their union busting bill in false terms. We also got to hear Walker's little strategy conversation with the guy he thought was David Koch, who apparently owns part of his soul.
Why is there any doubt. The DNC needs to do what they can to defeat these Republicans. This is exactly why I cannot side entirely Democrat. Independent that leans left or Green Party but the Dems always give in to the wacky GOP it is getting old. We already seen this movie a thousand times. we need a new story.Obama is the best President we have had since Eisenhower and he is met with all this unnecessary obstruction.We have to start small in local and state elections and then the House,Senate and Presidency. This will be a terrible betrayal of the people if the Dems don't send the check and try to defeat Walker.
filibusterer by foot!!
LOL even Lincoln did the same thing slip out a window so there would not be the quorum needed.
There is a contact page on the DNC website to express your concerns on this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz3v3Paar_M&feature=related
Yes. NDParty need to campaign a lot to make sure that Scott Walker will not be reelected. Democracy in America must be restored.
Yeah democracy in America, Yeah! Make sure that every 22% of every tax dollar goes to over funded salaries and pensions yeah. Make sure your states credit ratings fall so borrowing money for welfare projects cost more -Yeah. Incur more debt so tax rates stay high -Yeah. Stifle growth- reduce incentives for business-Yeah. Buy into Unions higher fees robbing you of future jobs, YEAH. Get stuck in a political grinder Yeah..
You just don't get it do you, its not a long term solution its short term fix to stabilize debt.. Without revenue growth, tax base cant get a foot hold if your state incurs more debt.
Sometimes tough choices offers the best results for everyone.
Oh shut up E.R. People do not want to work for nothing so the boss can make mega millions MORE while the worker's legs are chopped at the ankles you greedy tyrannical vulture. Reaganomics has DESTROYED America and "trickle down" does not work but the gop keeps at it again and again and again. The only ones who have benefited are the 1% and that s why there is a 1% and the rest of us have seen DECLINING wages. Tax cuts for the wealthy do not work as all these disgusting "reverse robin hood" measures are being imposed on everyone else to PAY for the wealthy to keep their insane tax cuts and fund MORE DEFENSE spending. You are so sick.
Liberal moron! Reagnomics Increased spending to create supply and demand, spurred growth industries that produced jobs.Thanks to investing in Americas businesses and technology this country has been a great leader in the world. Measured result was a expanded economy with GDP of 8% plus a tax base that lead greater expansion of the economy than you socialist leader in DC.
Oh by the way The reason we have declining wages is because of higher cost to business. You'll get no more than the skill you can offer. If a company has to bear higher tax base and Cost like Unions higher salary cost the company is not competitive in a global market. That a fact and that s why American Manufacturing is mostly over seas, Thanks GREEDY UNIONS AND BACK ROOM DEMS.
Problem is You've been hoowinked by the liberals.This country is 70% service we have no real exports to keep what you knew in higher wage. You have been replaced by a cheaper rate by someone somewhere else, better get used to it. Your cost to the bottom line has to have value, not because your ENTITLED. So put your hand away and SHUT Your Mouth.
You are an idiot. You are a Republican.
But I repeat myself.
Good one, Chris.
I'm concerned now that there are so many trolls to ignore it will be hard to keep track of them. Suddenly they're all out from under their rocks!
Slimey Republican T-party trolls. But I digress. LOL
@teresa, Chris & India
I see we have a Repug Ninny in the house tonight. They are actually gullible enough to believe Ronnie Raygun's "trickle down" was valid instead of the scam it was revealed to be by Ronnie's own Budget director, David Stockman. Or maybe they are just one of the wealthy that it benefits.
Apparently ER wasn't paying attention when Mr.Stockman revealed, "... giving small tax cuts across the board to all brackets was simply a "Trojan Horse" that was used to get approval for the huge top tax bracket cuts. "Trickle-Down" was a term used by Republicans that meant giving tax cuts to the rich.
"It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down,' so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory."
Stockman conceded, "Yes, when one stripped away the new rhetoric emphasizing across-the-board cuts, the supply-side theory was really new clothes for the unpopular doctrine of the old Republican orthodoxy."
"'Do you realize the greed that came to the forefront?' Stockman asked with wonder. 'The hogs were really feeding. The greed level, the level of opportunism, just got out of control.'"
The Education of David Stockman 1981:
http://www. theatlantic. com/politics/budget/stockman.htm
Ronnie Raygun's policies did more than simply cut income taxes. A large number of tax loopholes were written into the tax code that catered to special corporate interests. In fact many of the recent scandals involving companies such as Enron are rooted in laws that were passed during the Raygun administration that gave these companies more legal legroom to work with less oversight.
In addition, the small "income-tax cuts" that were given to the middle and lower income tax brackets were countered with new taxes that were directed at middle and low income individuals. Raygun's tax increases fell mainly on consumers, low- and middle-income people. Sales and excise levies. Raygun didn't call these taxes. They were, in his euphemistic lexicon, "user fees" and "revenue-enhancers."
The most important issue though is that even if you take the Raygun "Trickle-Down" policy at face value it's still horribly flawed as a policy that will provide economic growth that benefits all Americans.
There is no realistic way for "Trickle-Down" economics to work to increase the income of the working classes of America. In fact I am certain that the developers of the theory of "Trickle-Down" economics were fully aware of this and that "Trickle-Down" has in fact worked as intended.
This means that the intent behind implementing "Trickle-Down" was to benefit the wealthiest Americans at the expense of working class Americans. "Trickle-Down" hasn't failed, as many modern economists have suggested, it has succeeded in its goals, which is the increase of economic inequality and the shift of a greater portion of America's wealth into the hands of the wealthiest Americans.
E.R get lost clown

E.R.-1800193 and TheRealChris, you are both suspended for a day for violating rule # 1 of the Code of Honor.
Sally 2.9 : I agree.
why the heck can't I vote on the question???
Try again, I had to load the page twice.
Did you get to vote june?
You better believe they do . They need to get in line and kick his behind out the door with one swift kick. They as none of us Democrats can be complacent. The man is devious and only thinks of one thing Himself. He is the poster boy for The Republican and Tea Party and the slogan is.DIVIDE AND CONQUER!" Destroy anything belonging to the middle class and poor and hoard it for only us !!!!
In their WET dreams !!!! They would have to KILL me first before they get anything of mine.
Ted, I think many share your sentiment. But the history lessons through the ages have shown the rich have ruled the castle and the wealth for only as long as the peasants, us give them the power. This story has been the worlds history. The meek and the mild shall inherit the earth. Not the wealthy or the empires no matter where they are. This is again a power of greed to control and to To "DIVIDE AND CONQUER!"
PAM - Like i've been saying before and still do,"it's the low man on the totem pole that brings in the all mighty dollar" for ANY business.What would they do if everyone QUIT their job and no-one was there to replace them,who falls harder ?
Ted I wrote a good post and hit something and erased it. I am tired tonight my friend. In a nut shell corporate America has figured out how to stick it to the American workers. Its for Proffit and Only profit. We have seen what Romney did when was with Bain Capitol he would shut America down and take the spoils. Have great evening Ted. We have to fight with our voice and vote and pray many in this nation will not stand by and do nothing.
A moray eel has left it's cave after 2 years? Frustrated? Might be attempting to crap......uh, *spam* on Ed's blog today? Wonder how many piles we'll find.....
Part of first day's deposits two years ago last month:
Hi Pam
That is exactly correct.... the wealthy have most of the money, which gives them only as much power as they can buy. But there are more of us and we each have a vote, though the GOP have tried their hardest to take those away from as many as they can.
But their money alone won't help them retain the power they mistakenly think they have the right to... if we make sure we vote for our best interests. So.... as the French peasants yelled about their unsympathetic King and Queen, "Off with their heads!"
Likewise the presumptive and out of touch King Mitt and Queen Ann.... figuratively of course, and all of their greedy and power hungry GOP henchmen.
@Kathe Tacoma
Is that true? How do you know that? Pretty impressive though, it certainly sounds like him.
Scott Walker has destroyed Wi. If he does not get recalled. he will destroy this whole nation with the blessings of the whole gop. That is the goal of all the gop, conquer and destroy, this once great nation.
If Scott Walker wins then it is going to be a battle for workers across America. Democrats better be helping the people.
Elaine, The Unions and the Democrats had better unite and fighte the would be conquer of Wisconsin. Our fight for the truth and the Middle class began in Wisconsin and we can not loose ! So goes Wisconsin so goes the nation !!!!!!
The DNC must acknowledge the need
For Wisconsin to fight folks of greed...
If Walker stays in,
The GOP win,
They're going to make people bleed...
David, Good Evening. Whether its Walker or Romney or it begins with an R or TP . They don't care about us we are just dirt under there feet. Your words are so true. They left us on life support when Bush left office and if they get back in they will make us flat line !!!
PAM - I would rather be a FUNGUS to the GOP.One that they CAN"T get rid of,it's permanent whether they like it or not.
Sounds like MSNBC paranoia...THANKS ED,fat mouth Liar
Ted, Now that's an Idea! I think they are finding the people of this nation are like there ancestors . Were hard workers and we know when were being fed snake oil. We do not give up and we do not back down. This nation would not exist if we were push overs. Like the song says "YOU HAVE TO STAND FOR SOMETHING OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING!"
It is long past time to show walker the door out of the capital, along with the other republicans up for recall. The rich and powerful will not control our states or our country, working people must and will come first. It is time to stand up and speak out against the the right wing fanatics, let the collect unemployment and find out how people live on just that income.
It's up to the people to smarten up and get rid of the gop.
Yeah just in the nick of time too after over 32 years of taking it up the a**.
If I was living in the next to the border it would become a resident and vote! You can bet the Tea baggers are!!!
I see this Walker recall as a test for the country. If he isn't recalled, thanks to all the Koch money and all the right-wing money, that would be a bad sign.
I don't trust the GOP. They can play very dirty and have a lot of money to play with.
Democrats had better get on the ball real soon! Like Ted says, the T-party will vote en masse. Count on it.
Hi India! Beautiful "card"! It's just like you too. <s>
Absolutely!! National Democrats need to help......this is a test !!!!!
Out of state money has *poured* into WI in support of Little "Big Man" Scottie Walker. (No insult to Dustin Hoffman....great movie.) This has been a tremendous grassroots effort to date, Dems. Write a darn check, for Heaven's sake! Recipricate the support you've had already, Dems!
Hey, if nothing else the trolls will get even more caustic. "Can't" was just a warm up for "politicwatcher". We've seen a lot of old Newsvine domain names re-activated in the past month....a lot of them re-regs.
Thaanks, Kathe. Looks to me like the trolls are all out from under the bridge these days!
its the cult trolls spring Offensive!
LOL
I notice that when one gets banned, another one appears immediately. Either it's a rereg of the one that was banned, or they're working as a tag team.
I think this "Divide and Conquer" is going to clinch Walker's recall. The Democrats just need to flood the airways with this.
Many of them can't afford to "flood the airways." But they do need to smarten up and pay attention.
This from the get go even when Obama was elected and what we have seen play out . This is there slogan to divide and conquer AMERICA!!!!
Pam52, We need to fight really hard as they will play dirty to keep Walker in power. A lot of money has poured in from the right-wingers. WI is a microcosm of the country, divided nearly in half.
Half the voters in this country still think a corporate raider who will run roughshod over 99% of us is a GREAT idea! Don't ask me why. I don't want to call half of America stupid. Maybe they're just not paying attention?
India, Was about to call it a night and saw your post. I agree If David dose not slew Goliath Power and money we are screwed. I will call Wassermann Schultz again in the morning. Are you hearing Romney and his Christ speech? Is he Mormon or a devil? What he just said is not of Mormon teaching. The man is as phony as a two dollar bill!!!!! You have great evening.
Pam, He's a sociopath and a pathological liar who will do anything to win. He's a dangerous man for this country and if Democrats don't fight harder, he could win. It is still a divided country.
Half of this country better WAKE UP before we put a corporate raider in the white house, a man with no center and no scruples; a Wall St. toady.
@AGentlRose, Judy, Pam & India
I agree that we have to get the word out to those who haven't been paying attention to what the GOP has in store for the middle class. I can't do much in the way of donating money, but I can donate time to call voters in Wisconsin and urge them to get out and vote Walker out.
And unfortunately... I think there are too many who either don't pay attention to what's going on, or are too stupid to vote for their best interests. Remember how many voted GW Moron into a 2nd term.
Pam... I only saw parts of Robme's speech, so what did he say that wasn't part of LDS or Mormon teachings? I could tell you for sure if it was or not. Although I agree that most everything he has said regarding his economic record and President Obama's record have been lies and fabrications. But that mostly has to do with him being a Repug and trying to pander to the far right wingnuts in the country.
Pam...
What in the world makes you think two dollar bills are phony? I've owned a few, and I understand they were quite popular at the race track...
There were two basic series of two dollar bills issued, in 1926 and in 1966... The 1976 series just copied the 1966 series, ang was issued primarily for the Bicentennial...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_two-dollar_bill
DS...
Basically, all of it... The word Mormon never left his lips, and he talked about Christian faith in very generic terms....
I believe he said , "your faith and my faith" once... That was his only reference to having a different religion than the audience...
http://news.yahoo.com/mitt-romney-courts-evangelicals-liberty-university-182731388.html
@David J
Oh yeah... I saw those parts of his speech, the parts that were shown on Ed's show... Lawrence's show, etc. And yes... he did speak of Christianity in very generic and general terms without specific references to specific doctrines, etc. But I still don't see how any of that is in opposition to the LDS religion, which is why I was asking what specifically he had said that was in opposition.
As LDS/Mormons also believe in the basic doctrinal points of God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost/Spirit... and Jesus Christ being the Son of God who suffered and gave his life for the sins of all mankind and by so doing brings redemption and Everlasting life to all who accept him as their Savior. Also... are all of the students at this university of the same religion... or just affiliated with Evangelical churches? Are they all exactly the same and uniform in how they are run, etc.?
What I think is really sad is that Robme has to pander to this bunch of self-righteous hypocrites who refuse to even accept him as a Christian. He can't take credit for his only real achievement as Governor... Health reform, etc. But I suppose if one lies down with dogs... Repugs, one has to accept it if they wake up with fleas.
Hi DScully, Unfortunately, those self-righteous hypocrites he is pandering to will vote, vote, vote, vote, for their absurd candidate. They know what he is, but don't care. HE'S NOT the black guy.
These evangelicals are an odd bunch; it's sort of the MacDonalds of religion! IMO
We must do everything in our power to defeat the GOP in every state and especially the Presidential election. God help us if the Republicans are allowed to continue their attack on the middle class and poor. If they are elected they will destroy everything this country has stood for and many have fought and died for.
Ok how will the republicans do that? How are they attacking the middle class?
And then you say destroy this country has stood for and died for?
Why don't you wake up. And go to sleep.
So what is the discussion in Wisconsin over rank and file voting Republican? What is everyone doing about that? Is there any discussion or do you really think that those of us who watch the politics don't know that union members are responsible for those right wingers.
Before you ask the general public to support your cause, tell us what exactly you are doing and how you are addressing the turn coats that you work with day in and day out. After all, when you ask us to support union members the question is which ones? those who vote Democrat or those who vote Republican.
Honest, serious question.
Georgia
From what I saw of the protests against Walker last year by the union members, those who WERE REPUGS have vowed to NEVER VOTE REPUG AGAIN. That is the thing about collective bargaining rights and worker's rights... both Democrats and Republicans benefit as well as Independents.
Fighting for ones livelihood is a very uniting factor and neither Republican, Independent or Democratic union workers have cared for Walker's high handed schemes to take away their hard won rights.
Saw that in California, all union members out begging the non-union citizens to support them at the polls. We did, and the ink wasn't dry before the Republican came right out again. I suspect while some may not tell you to your face, they will not back you on this recall. Why? Because times are lot worse for non-union workers. Watching government workers all over the country get up at those town hall and oppose health care for those who have none brings it home to around 50million in this country. You just can't reasonably expect people suffering with no health care to fight to keep high end policies for those who oppose care for the rest of us.
That's the real issue, not the wages or benefits, it's the mean spirited greed. Unions would be wise to get that issue off the table by insisting on universal care and get your pension funds out of predatory outfits like Bain Capitol and out of profiting off the misery of others in the health care wall street stock. In the mean time, rank and file need to have a real come to Jesus meeting with each other. You know from your neighborhoods who votes republican. If you don't get a member list from your union and match it against your right wing politicians. Until union members do that, then I think it's more likely than not you will lose.
It is past time to light a fire under the national democratic party member's butts.
It is now time to poop or get off the pot.
Edward, Bingo!
Republicans have proven their willingness to tell any dirty lie so they can gain/retain power and advance their agenda. Some will believe these lies. Getting the truth out so everyone can see it is vitally important.
Name some?
Herbert Hoover, Howard Taft, Ronald Reagan, Horace Harding, G.H.W. Bush, John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Snidely Cantor, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Oliver North, Bush Jr. Colin Powell, Condaleeza Rice, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann, Scott Walker, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrinch, Scott Brown, Dick Armey, Karl Rove, Rick Perry, Clarence Thomas, Tom Coburn, John-not intended to be a factual statement Kyl, John Ensign, Diaper hooker man in the Senate....I can go on but I made my point E.R. Get off this forum and go whine on Faux Noise where your tired old talking points will be believed. We're not stupid.
NO JOHN EDWARDS I meant name some lies. And if your repeat the rhetoric of ED and the other liberal slime you are very, very stupid
Death panels, using the Patriot act to strip citizens of their rights and justify illegal surveillance. WMD's in Iraq, holding terror suspects for years without a trial or even being charged, if you don't vote for us you won't be safe (Cheney), saying they are for smaller government of course except for military hardware, insisting tax cuts for the wealthy help to create jobs, protecting the environment gets in the way of profitability, climate change isn't real and doesn't have any consequences. Not necessarily in this order. Of course you already know this, so take your faux denial of reality somewhere else.
So the death panel, is part of Obama care. Socialized medicine for those on medicare. Simply put if terminal your care gets call for a vote.
Illegal searches like, oh yeah illegal aliens, not naturalized citizens. Maybe you dont get the picture here, you have to be a citizen, naturalized to be afforded the same privileges. Oh lately have there been any attacks on the US? No and why, because plots of terrorist have been thwarted by surveillance. See I got nothing to hide, but the terrorist of tomorrow will use soft liberals like you to destroy are country. Not a day goes by where a bomb plot is aimed at us again, but that's ok by you isn't it.
BTW if you are so wrapped up in the terror suspects being held how come Obama hasn't called for their release?Oh yeah it was important a couple a years ago but like everything else he flip-flops. Maybe just maybe they are guilty. Hmm I see it now, your sympathetic to the terrorist.
Wow and here I was thinking you actually had a brain not filled with the ranting of The liberal media. Wow sorry you cant move away to free think.
Ok some of Obama, I will bring change and bring the unemployment rate down. Hah real rate 14%. Added 3.0 trillion to the debt and passing Obama care in the dark of night,like lying little rats. The cbo states Obama care will add 8.9 trillion dollars in ten years to the debt. The gay marriage flip-flop. Christians believe and are obedient, they don't evolve in secular perversion.
No my friend your following the master liar now in the white house he will lie and cheat and make deals that will sell you out and ED will tell you its ok to be a lemming
Now you're a bigger idiot.
Hi BooCoo, teresa & Chris
Yeah.. the death panel lie was one of their more ridiculous ones, but wouldn't you know there are actually so many Repugs who are ignorant and gullible enough to believe it. But then... look at how many of them voted for GW Moron twice. They obviously relate to his lack of intelligence.
Of course one of the most prominent lies the Repugs are all telling now is that President Obama has not improved the economy or created jobs, and that he is against free enterprise and business. Never mind that President Obama has created 4.1 million jobs in less than one term while GW Moron only created 3 million jobs during both terms and then lost 8 millions jobs in his last year in office. PO has already out paced GW in job creation, and without any help from any of the GOP rats in the Congress.
Obviously ER believes every stupid LIE they've been told by the GOP propaganda machine. They've fallen for every bit of fear mongering they've been fed to tap their primitive brain, and renders them unable to tap into any reasonable thought. But FACTS have never been of any use to Repugs or TEApugs... and certainly not ER, so it's useless trying to pound facts into their thick skull.
He really believes patient's terminal care gets voted on and the Patriot Act is only used on illegal immigrants? And we're bothering to respond to that?
Here's something I'd love to get a Repugli-CON answer to: an across the board Congressional/political pay cut. Start out with Congress and cut their pay, not severely but significantly. No, actually severely. I just looked it up and I thought they only made 100-120k/yr but they're really making 174k/yr. Personally, I'd cut it to 74k/yr just to make the math easy and we'd get 435 reps + 100 sens = 53 million dollars to help pay off the deficit.
Furthermore, we cut all their great benefit packages like health care and their retirement plans, basically anything that most workers either have to collectively bargain for or if they don't believe in unions just don't get period. I'd only do this for elected officials to set the guideline that if you want to be put in charge of making the rules and laws for the American people, then you should have to fully understand what the majority of American people go through. Sad thing is since most of them are already millionaires before they get voted into office this wouldn't even affect them very much. Sadder still is the fact that they're all so god damn greedy they'd never do it.
God Speed and keep up the good fight Wisconsin!!
@tmaguire
Good ideas..... I like the idea of cutting all those Repugs salaries and benefits. They never work anyway.... how many breaks has the House taken since taking control in 2011? We are paying them to sit on the butts and do absolutely nothing.
They should also be fined for every bill they waste time on, which doesn't involve REAL JOB CREATION. You know... that thing they all ran on in 2010 and promised would be their priority.
If it were a Democrat Governor being recalled, don't you think the National Republicans would help with money and ads and however else they could?
DUMB QUESTION,of course they would try their best to recall you no matter who's paying for it.
We're not recalling a Democratic Governor honey-Walker is a repub. HELLO!!!!
teresa-I know that. My point is, why shouldn't National Democrats step in to help get Walker recalled? Undoubtedly if the situation were reversed, the Repubs would be spending BIG bucks and having fundraisers and ads and giving speeches etc. like mad to make sure a Democrat was gotten rid of. Walker needs to go, and ALL Democrats, national and local, need to be out fighting to get rid of him and others like him!
@Charctine
Tell me about it... the Repugs recalled our Governor here in California 10 years ago, before he could begin fixing the problems left behind by the previous Repug Governor.... Pete Wilson.
Then they put that idiot.. The Arnold in and now our state is even more screwed up. It's been left in an economic situation similar to how GW Moron left the country in 2008.
The same thing will happen to the country if Mutt Robme gets to the White House. The land of opportunity down the tubes.
Not a dumb question; Koch bros, Karl Rove and Superpacs would have it all covered.
Not to mention it being rhetorical.
Yes! National Dems need to help Wisconsin throw Walker to the curb. The billionaire hag from Beloit, WI that was talking to Walker in the video is an absolute hypocrite. She got her start because her husband (who passed in 2007) had a good union job working for Chrysler. He made money there then went on to buy a company, now she has over 30 and is worth $3.8 billion. It's people like her throwing money at Walker to further the conservative agenda and of course bust unions.
Why not just throw him in the SEWER ? Oh I forgot,he would PLUG it even though that's the right place for him.
She doesn't pay any state taxes here and has'nt since 2005 by managing to skirt around the tax so ANOTHER dodger who a multi-billionaire cheat screwing the state while giving 500,000 to Walker-(the most given to a candidate in state history by a single donor).
@pmoody
What type of companies does that Walker loving "billionaire hag" run? What products, etc. should we be boycotting?
It's not about hope, Ed. It IS about power. The polls -- the people -- have voiced their opinion. It is up to the DNC and Obama to back us. Or lose. Their choice.
Obama will only back the part here, one if it has a large Union base. Why for Votes, thats the only Reason Votes. Funny Obama only comes alive when there are votes at stake. You wont hear anything from him until he can get the vote.
This can be proven in battle ground states and areas around Detroit that previously Obama simply did not care about.But low and behold when his Union base comes alive Lordy Lordy The savior comes alive, Just give him votes.
LOL
oh thanks E.R. your on a roll, but after insulting your host your possible re-reg name be gone soon enough.
but you need to slow down you seem to be on a burn out pace.
LOL
Yeah Its proof he cant stand the heat. I would nt mind ED so much except his too busy promoting one sided bias then saying to everyone 'LETS BE FAIR IN OUR CONVERSATION" Hypocrite he is! He promotes an agenda that only infuriates people and keeps you tuned in for ratings.
OK ED lets hear a real plan since you know it all. Oh but you cant or wont because all you know is to full peoples heads full of hate. I bet your all about tax and spend, Tax more, tax everyone, tax children, tax the elderly, rich poor. It wont get this country going like we need, you'll only dry up the well.
So what do you think, Pilot? OtD? He showed up when OtD disappeared.
that's what i was thinking, it was one of his other socks in his draw.
Money isn't always the answer. There have been gop candidates who poured more than twice the money as the Democratic candidates and lose to the Democratic candidates.
Time to smarten up and pay attention everybody.
What a novel idea-getting SAMRT over money? Who knew? If it was that easy, the country would not be in this mess and we would not have Citizen's United allowing unlimited amounts of undisclosed money being funnled into our elctions as of 2010. Yippers!!!
@Judy
I agree.... the Repugs have money, but they are still TEApartying their moderate candidates, and thinking they can get more idiotic TEA baggers into the Congress and Senate.
These rightwing nuts don't seem to realize that while they are crazy enough to vote for their TEA bag @!$%#s... the rest of us aren't. If every Independent in the country hasn't learned their lesson about the damage being done in Congress by the TEApugs/Repugs they sent there in 2010 by now... they really haven't been paying attention or they've been living under a rock.
If they want the government to start working again and actually getting something done, like infrastructure projects and job creation.... they need to help us Democrats get the Repugs/TEApugs the hell out of the government at both the State and Federal levels.
DNC if not helping financially could send waves across the Nation are they with the Common Person or NOT...
They need to send money to help.
I think the National Party can help organize funding and funnel to Wisconsin Dems but the power here is at the state level, not national. It's the DNC that should learn from true Democrats at the state.
DNC - Are you mad? It's time to put down the tea cups and grab the battle axes.
Tony! Charge ! They have the army us the people , the middle class , the poor. We are mad as nation on what has been dealt us and they have cheated at the poker game long enough! This years election is the final wave for freedom in this country. If we loose and they get in all that we hold dear will be only a memory. Romney will finish what he started with Bain Capitol . He has the I am better than you attitude and there fore you are nothing to me!
This is a critical vote. DEMS unite.
I just emailed the DNC...need to get Scott Walker out of office so the Koch brothers and the rest can't run Wisconsin or the country
Yeah lets shut down the koch brothers industries. That will show the 50000 Americans working for them. YEAH. Get rid of them providing supplies that many people need everyday Yeah And make sure the millions The Koch brothers have given to hospitals, the arts, no profit organizations, YEAH get rid them
Liberal Idiots.
Right protect your masters, typical Koch slave mentality, sure they are doing the best to keep me in the poo house but gosh darn they are really nice guys despite their vulture behaviors. Conservaturds the smell keeps building.
I dont believe for minute anyone in a corporate, industrial process is nice. Anyone who is business weather they are democrat or republican knows to survive you have to be competitive and have a product to sell. And I can tell you I have no ties for the koch brothers. What I have is a realistic understanding that providing products in this global market will only get tougher.
So tell every one what do you do,are you a freelancer, have your own business, earn a residual income. Or are just a person who has a (just over broke) Job that is. Have you ever understood what it takes for a business survive? Have you ever sought more education to better yourself. No I think your angry and will always be angry because you wont, and they will. Thats the difference and one you never attain because you need someone to blame.
You need to get a brain.
Hi Chris! Great to have you back the last couple of days.
What's the heck is under ER's saddle.
It is common knowledge that corporate bullies fund charities and such as veils and monuments to their "greatness", ER. Ever hear of Carnegie? Robber barons? Gilded Age? I see you've heard of the Kochroaches.
Errrrrrrr calling someone angry and bitter. Priceless.
@Chris
As a conservative, ER only has the use of their primitive brain which can only respond to fear-mongering. The part of the brain where logical thought and reason take place has not developed like it has in our liberal brains.
Alas... conservatives such as ER are unable to process rational thought.... which leaves them with the obvious results.... cuckoo... cuckoo.... cuckoo... cuckoo...
We ALL need to cal the DNC and ask this question and tell them..No more money to them..( just our own private candidates fund) until they help out the Wisconin people take down walker..If he loses we all win big...BTW..re: er....Polls show the tea bagger brain is slower and actually a second poll proved that fox viewers are less informed then people who viewed no media at all..I'm betting er is a Fox viewer..They resort to anger when facts are placed before them that dispute their mind set of 'It's my way because I think so, damn the facts"...lol
