Democracy at it's finest, Unions your time is past you served a purpose but now it is over just fade off into sunset.
Yeah! Looks like another Walker win!! No time to rest though. It's on to making Obama a one term President.
Occupy Wacko, 2012.
Dennis is correct. There are still several hundred thousand votes to be counted and from the highest in Democratic voting blocks. Also, this race was a 20 point spread at first and now is down to a 9 point spread. People are going to wake up to a pretty big surprise tomorrow.
And it doesn't matter if Walker stole, and lied and cheated and used outside money to win because he is on his way to prison. How proud can a sitting Governor be that there was even an attempt to recall him in the first place. But then Republicans can always find a way to be proud of their scummy behavior.
Rest In Peace Democracy. If the Right-Wing Fascists finish buying the rest of America we will be a One Party, Fascistic Government with a State Religion with an Education System based on that Religion. Zieg Heil you brown shirt devils
perhaps you should get outta yours.
The problems with Liberals is they don't know what type of government we have in America; they're always surprised at how it functions, which is why Lawrence O'Donnell explained why the founding fathers and our Constitution is bad for America yesterday. You won't find the word "Democracy" in ANY of our founding documents. None of them. However, you will find the word Republic. Time to educate the radical minions: youtube.com/watch?v=R2mdF_uH8zs Listen up little Liberals!
LOL
really? think maybe you might need to do a little research.
LOL and your education camps are just well wrong! LOL
We Shall always be a democratic republic!! as the founds wanted!
Gov not having all the control and states not having it either, you know a UNITED front.
Wisconsin, Do the Right Thing for the Middle Class. Set a Great Example for America and Vote that "divide and conquer" con artist, Scott Walker OUT!
Oh NO!!!
No more middle class. Get ready worker bees, you'll be on the short end of the stick.
Walker Lies While Democracy Dies.
Democracy
You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Democracy means the majority rules. More people voted for Walker and he beat the recall. That is the very essence of democracy. Although, technically we are a representative republic, not a democracy. Hence why we have state and federal congresses to decide on policy instead of doing everything by majority votes.
We do not live in a democracy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
would help if these eastern europeans would learn how the USA works before they beat on their keyboards posting away..
The Republic thrives while the GOP rise!!
Can I borrow somebody else's nails to bite? Mine are long gone! C'mon, Badgerland, kick that sniveling, hypocritical, smug, cowardly, self-entitled crook to the curb!
well all that left to do is kick back and wait for the results to come in. but it will be a hour or so before the results will start to show.
Pilot...
The results are in...guess what...you backed a LOSER.
Ne. The one we backed lost. He's not a loser. The middle class will be the losers.
If the middle class will be the losers, then why did they vote to keep Walker??
The losers are the imperial unions that force people to join the union then pull money out the workers pockets and pay the union leaders wages...
With the unions losing membership, the DNC is looking like the stooges they are.
things dont look good for dem govenor, too much money in politics need to repael citizens united
So just one side get get 400 to 600 MILLION from the UNIONS????
It was President Obama who chose not TO ACCEPT the offer from Senator John Mccain to just both of them accept public financing
What a disgusting concept. Unions typically fund dems so they must be bad. Corporations fund repugs so they must be awesome???
Now it is just a race to the bottom. Everyone who isn't a 1% will be making $8 and no bennys.
I have no respect for anyone who is a republican. None of them.
Wow terriels, I guess you just cancelled your Wi vacation plans.
I dont either. the repubs just care about keeping the 1% wealthy they dont give a rats ass about the middle, i got mine u r on ur own.
Hard for the liberals to admit but the people of WI voted for what they believe in. Some of the liberals cannot accept that. Maybe all the money merely gave the power to show the facts. Do liberals really believe the people of WI are stupid! Did you see how Lawrence tried to alter the outcome of the election? Like FOX they tell what they want us to hear. Remember all the TV stars believe in Fairness but what will any of them give to the poor? They all live the life of luxury, both MSNBA and FOX. They play these show gamed to make more money and fool the average person. Its a business for them.
The Liberals bought into Obama's "class warfare" racist rhetoric, Progressive lies, and the Occupy movement, which are led by anti-Republic radicals. We'll kick our the #1 radical this November when Obama is sent packing back to Chicago. God bless our American Republic, it's Constitution and the Conservative values of our citizens.
Too bad we're trying to spread democracy all over the world, and losing it here. I fear for this country with big money drowning out the people's voices. My feeling is if the rich people can afford to waste all this money on elections, they can afford to pay higher taxes to fix things up in this country. Our country is falling apart our roads, bridges and schools...we are becoming a third world country, and all I'm hearing is you can't raise taxes on the job creators. BS!!!!
Wish I was there to support the recall, my one problem is the number of Union workers who voted for Walker in the first place. Unions are not the answer for every company, but what most people forget is the Union not only looks out for the workers, but must also make sure the members live up to the contract. Republicans say the taxpayer is not at the table when contracts are discussed, but they are it is the people we elect to office. Many years public service workers decided to take increases in retirement, health care, instead of salary, the the legislators failed to fund these agreements and now they are in trouble for not doing their job.
"...but must also make sure the members live up to the contract." You live in another world. There is a common perception by the public that union members are totally protected and often fall shot of doing the jubs because of the Union blanket they live under. Be honest; you know that is the truth.
780 million for Obama 80 million for Mccain. Liberals had no problem with that in 2008. Lets not forget in the early stages of this recall the big unions poured in millions before Walker put in 1 cent.
That was not Obama's fault that was Bush.
Oh, I forgot the Liberal rule is you cannot blame Obama for the past four years, but you can still blame Bush. LOL!!!
Its going to be a long night for those in Winsconsin. I live in Connecticut where we just voted for a Democratic Gov. last year. Its been since the mid 1970's that we had one. Since then we were stuck with the voter ID law thanks to the former jailbird rowland.
To register in WI you need to prove you lived here for atleast 28 days and provide proof, like a utility bill with your name on it or an i.d. card. Once your registered you don't need a photo I.D. I'm ok with that, I've been an active voter for almost 40 years.
Does anybody need a towel for crying (I got a big beach towel for big Ed); or a bandaid for their pride. A 23% lead with 1/5 of the precincts reporting. Oh my!
Why would we need a crying towel we are not whiny republicans who seem to think that elections are more then a beauty contest. What you think you won something?
Whom should we repost your posts. Way to go WI... What a Land Slide.
Whom, yes, a Republican won the recall election. The first successful defense in a gubernatorial recall election in US history.
Whom... oh, they won something alright..... I think after Walker does his nasty deeds to the public workers and unions...... divide and conquer.... the people will finally wake up......come to think about why are they still asleep after all that has gone on there????? think they put something in the water?
it was a easy winter there and the snow plows didnt work as usual in a normal winter, just wait for winter 2012 and normal snow.
well they won now they have to work and unless someone pulls votes out their 4th point of contact the senate belongs to the democrats.
now its game on for Nov. arm chair QBing is ok as long as we are moving for the victory in NOV.!!!!
The people of WI had a year and a half to wise up. Time to accepth their decision. Stop pouting and move on for the good of the majority.
Sounds like it's over. :( Congrats to Scott Walker, the best Governor money can buy. And God help us all.
Walker won over Barrett, the best Governor for failed Democratic policies/values. God Bless Us All.
OMG...Walker won.................
Hello India
Remember the movie Rocky? maybe the Democrats have to get knocked down a few times before they realize they are in a fight.
It seems like the Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would qualify for at least 5 knockdowns..................
India? or linda???
The AFL-CIO-MOB lost last night, the people won!!!!
It's a landslide for Walker
and a landslide for the people of WI. The people have spoken in an unfair recall election that was for principles the union did not agree with, not for cause as is
usuallythe case.National Democrats DID NOT recognize the depths to which NeoCons would sink to keep Walker in power.
They now KNOW how to make it VERY hard on Obama, and ALL Dems in the General Election in November (money and LIES, lots of lies!).
Politics has just descended TOTALLY into the sewage system, and it won't be easy to get it out!!
Like some cheese to go with that whine???
Myabe you can help obama start packing...
At least it was within the margin of error!
You spiteful jealous teatards, you just put your own heads and the heads of your children's children under water. The rich want to keep the middle class half drowning so they can have it all, while expecting us to be satisfied with survival. Well you just gave them the layout divide and conquer works.
Sad sad day in America
What a load of Bull$hit that all is..
let the party begin....!!!!!!
time for the left to eat some crow
maybe ed will be the chef!
WHOOOOOOOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice going all you MSLSD talking morons....
The people not the unions WON tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
Millions of taxpayer dollars down the drain because of Democrats.
Not one of you give as damn, do you?
The people have spoken Renee; I know you are disappointed. Like I said last night, maybe Scotty will use this referendum as a wakeup call to brush up on his communication and collaboration skills.
Surprised it took so short a time to make the call.
No the corporations just bought an election.
No. Corporations and unions bought advertising time. The PEOPLE voted. Quit assuming the people are not intelligent enough to know what they wanted. They did. They got it. Twice.
You are living proof of what you claim I assume.
They will get it twice, I am certain. If you set your sights low enough, then you get what you vote for. As with the last person they voted in who once said, and I quote:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on --shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again." --Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 17, 2002
What an embarrassment......
Can't wait to see Ed in an empty bar crying in his beer on MSNBS. Stay thirsty my freind!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Lord and God bless Gov. Walker and the people of Wisconsin
Romney/??? 2012
How can they call the race with only 31% of the vote in? These could be precincts that would be considered Republican strongholds. They shouldn't call it so soon because all precincts have not reported in.
yeah...they probably don't know what they are doing..this is the first time there has ever been an election. Keep on holding on to the hope that they are wrong.
thats how dems try to win elections.....LETS GET A RECOUNT
Was NBC, Ed's, bigoted network, incorrect in being the first to call it! Lets hope the unemployment rate there continues to go down and the surplus continues to grow. Obviously education has prospered not the union members. Time to more on to the good og the people of WI.
Thank you President Obama for not showing up
Fundraisers to you are much more IMPORTANT!!!
Fascism has come to the USA. Too bad. The only choice for those in Wisconsin is to leave if they want freedom and to be able to feed their families. The corporations have won. Walker is a real Taliban-.
Walker took a 3.6 BILLION dollar Deficit and turned it into a 150 MILLION Surplus
Took Unemployment from 7.7% to 6.7%
Congratulations Scott Walker
unbelievable.......... i mean just unbelievable
unbelievable.......... i mean just unbelievable
Yea you thought that ed had told everyone in the state of Wi who to vote for..
To bad no one watchs the ed show...
