Wisconsin: Don't Retreat or Reload...Recall!

[boedicca]

I think this is great! Let the union thugs spend their bank and time keeping the issue of their inflated pay and entitlement attitude alive in the minds of the poor working shlubs who foot the bill...all the way to the 2012 elections.

All the way to 2012 and beyond.

Wisconsin is where Main Street begins hitting back at Wall Street.

Class War comes to America.

Consider the possibility that if the fight for a 40 hour work week and paid vacations hadn't gotten ugly those demands would never have been met.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.

It doesn't matter if a King or a corporation wields the power.

This is about union membership, thus about union dues, thus about money going to Democrats. Quit bringing up ancient history to justify the deceptions being perped on us today.

That is all this is about.
They can try and blow smoke up the peoples ass of what this all over, but I don't think the MAJORITY of the people are BUYING IT.

Then why aren't the MAJORITY of marchers in Madison supporting Wall Street and Scott Walker?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You poor little booby. Big Unions bear as much resemblance to Main Street as Henry Waxman does to Clark Gable.

The marchers in Madison have been bussed in and are GETTING PAID. Madison is also the Berkeley of the Midwest, and not at all representative of the millions of people who support Walker who have to go to work to actually get paid, and hence have not time to protest for days on end.

It's rather sad that Dems are using the same language they were critical about Palin over here.

 

[boedicca]

Sad, but typical.

Who's primarily responsible for Wisconsin's deficit, "Big Unions" or Wall Street?

When you look at Scott Walker, does he remind you of Ronald Reagan or Sarah Palin?

 

[boedicca]

I don't judge the effectiveness of politicians on their appearances.

Big Government Cronyism is responsible for the deficit in WI (as it is elsewhere).

What percentage of the marchers in Madison have been bussed in?
How many are getting paid?
How many farmers roaring around Madison on tractors last weekend were from Wall Street?
Have you noticed how much larger Madison demonstrations are on week-ends which are themselves one product of collective bargaining?
Why aren't SUPPORTERS of Scott Walker/Goldman Sachs marching in Madison in ANY numbers?
Too busy working on their next tax cut?

Retreat? Reload? Didn't you socialist radicals get the memo about inflamatory speech? Now let me get this straight, radical lefties think the democrats who abandoned their posts and fled to another state should stay but republicans should be recalled for doing their jobs? The world is upside down to liberals.

After their recent service to corporate America, Wisconsin State Senators wasted little time jetting into DC to collect their pay.

Outside the offices of BGR Group (the "B" stands for Barbour, as in Hayley) "as many as 1000 workers, students, union activists and allies filled the streets of downtown Washington."

"Many surged into the building where the senators met with lobbyists who paid as much a $5,000 to 'host' the gathering to thank the Wisconsin Republicans."

"They DC protesters chanted many of the same unions slogans that have been heard at mass protests in Wisconsin.

"And they picked up a political slogan as well: 'Recall!'

"Across Wisconsin, citizens are gathering petition signatures to force recall elections that could remove as many as eight GOP senators who backed the governor's anti-union bill.

"If just three seats (including Darling's) flip to the Democrats, Fitzgerald will no longer be majority leader and Walker's agenda will suddenly face serious legislative hurdles.

"Mocking the Tea Party rhetoric about gunplay and 'Second Amendment Solutions,' one protester in DC held a sign that read: 'We Don't Reload, We Recall!'"

Wisconsin Senators...

I agree. The 14 fleebaggers should be recalled.

Oh wait... you meant the Governor and Republicans who stayed and did their job as requested by the electorate that put them in power, and not the whiny bitches throwing a tantrum in the capital idolizing those punks who ran away?

You're fucking nuts.

barackobama.com had a national call to action to get people to Madison WI. I have no idea what the ratio was, but this was clearly an astroturfed effort.

Most were getting paid - they were collecting their pay via taking sick leave (remember the doctors handing out fake medical excuses).

About 30 tractors showed up. Big Whoop.

Considering that the 89% of the labor force that is not unionized have weekends off (or other days depending upon work schedules), the purpose of unions for work hours and conditions was served decades ago. We have labor laws and civili service codes that protect both private sector and public sector workers.

Your last question is specious. It requires supporting your position that Walker and Goldman Sachs are cojoined. They are not. I wll say, however, that considering the violence of the protestors, it's very reasonable that the people who support Walker are showing it via emails, phone calls etc. instead of enduring the vulgarity and threats of the protesters who have issues fatwas on those who dare to record and criticize them:

Ann Althouse, a blogger and University of Wisconsin law professor, has provided extensive firsthand accounts and photos — along with her husband Meade — of the Wisconsin protests and related matters.

Althouse has criticized the actions of the Democratic lawmakers who left the state as well as the behavior of some of the protesters.

Amid the numerous death threats against GOP state lawmakers, the ripping up of Democratic recall petitions and university professors musing about justifications for “political violence,” it was only a matter of time before the union/left rabble would turn their ire toward Althouse.

In an unsigned “Operation: Countertroll” screed, they declare, “Your city of Madison privileges have been revoked.”

The foul-mouthed message of intimidation is crystal-clear. This passage is (almost) profanity free:

“We are at every coffee shop on State, open to close, all the time. We will hang up wanted posters of you everywhere you like to go. We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day. We will harass the ever-loving sh*t out of you all the time. Campus is OCCUPIED. State Street is OCCUPIED. The Square is OCCUPIED. Vilas, Schenk’s Corners, Atwood, WillyStreet — Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied.”

The screed goes on to say that Althouse must be silent from now on and make a variety of payoffs to various left-wing causes. Otherwise, she and her husband must leave the state ... though they weren’t quite so polite.

So this is what democracy looks like?

Big Government Cronyism is responsible for the deficit in WI (as it is elsewhere).

"Big Government Cronyism" with Big Business, i.e., Wall Street, explains how tax breaks offered to companies who moved to Wisconsin resulted in 60% of the corporations in that state making more than $1 million a year paying no corporation tax.

Wisconsin finances would be in better shape if corporate citizens shouldered their share of the tax burden.

Just like Wall Street.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands.

I know that many of my union reps who chartered buses down were paid.

How many of those farmers have retirement plans? I bet all of them, and those are all tied to Wall Street. Farmers are the original business man. They live and die by ag business and the commodities. Their protesting for the delicate orchids of the public sector unions is a sign of colossal ignorance.

Even union members get days off and some, who still have a work ethic wait for the weekends. What of it? Doesn't change that they are the minority.

Conservatives save their protesting for the ballot box, and campaign funds. It's easier and more effective than going out and making an ass of yourself.

At least they're earning an income in the private sector and not getting it from government who takes it from others to give to them. Also, please remember that not every union member is in lockstep with those dipshits pounding their fists and kicking their feet at the Capitol.

Count how many of the top 20 campaign donors are unions:

http://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/list.php

The answer:

11

And note how the vast majority of their money went to the Dems. This is really what the Fracas is all about: keeping the money laundering scheme of funneling taxpayer dollars to unions, who then donate back to the Dems for pay and bennies, wash rinse repeat.

What part of participatory democracy are you right wing sissies most afraid of?

Had Scott "Wall Street" Walker campaigned on a platform that advocated outlawing collective bargaining, we would not be having this conversation right now.

The Gov should put out a bulletin for the taxpayers of his State.

In that bulletin should be all the sweetheart deals that were granted to the Unions and exactly what it was costing the taxpayers of WI.

Wonder how many of the taxpayers would be signing a recall for the Reps??

Wonder how many would be signing a recall for the fleebagger Dems??
