Why of course. I’m talking about the Rat stone throwers at Walker. Oops they are in glass houses.
That’s pretty much what it was like before Walker. Even the candidate who won the Dem primary, Barrett, is afraid of stressing union-related issues. He trounced the paid flunky of the unions, Kathleen Falk, by 24%. Barrett knows that Wisconsin tax-payers are well aware of how they were fleeced by the Teachers Union and their stooges in the Wisconsin legislature.
I have spent the last few days in northern Wisconsin, near GB, on business. Drove up here from Iowa, and through the entire trip, even through Madison, I saw NO signs or posters on the road supporting the recall of Gov. Walker. On the other hand, the support signs for him numbered in the hundreds, if not higher.
My wife and I do a lot of cruising on the weekends, and we’ve noticed a far more pro-Walker signs than Dem candidate signs. We’ll see now that Barrett is the nominee if we’ll be seeing a lot of signs supporting him. But the plethora of pro-Walker signs (including the one in our front window) is mighty encouraging.
Wisconsin: Recall petition signers owe $17,000,000 in back taxes
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
It just so happens that the June 5 recall election is projected to cost $17,000,000. And, I’ll bet the candidates and their committees spend more than $17,000,000. Walker will win, and so will the GOP Senators. What a waste of money!
Make sure they take it from the po' unionistas with the patches on their pants from "poverty".
I wonder how many of the recall petition signers have outstanding warrants.
And I wonder how many are included in the public lists of sexual predators.
Well, it doesn’t work that way. We all pay for it.

A lot of them! I’ve seen a list of the sexual predators, but I don’t have a link. The list included their creepy pictures. Ugh!
Sex offenders should be locked up, putting their name on a list isn’t going to protect anyone.
“They had every right to do this (sign the petitions), and I have every right to match them up. They have every right to not like it, and I have every right not to care,”
Now THERE is a person I would LOVE to meet!
One of the things I’ve noticed is that the GOP uses paid people ONLY as supervisors. They pay people with needed skills, but the people manning call centers and doing the heavy lifting are all volunteers.
The Democrats have paid skilled people and paid lower level people. The petition teams generally had one local volunteer (who I knew from politics) and several paid people, who were often from out of state.
During the petition verification process, the GOP had so many volunteers that they had to turn people away and schedule extra hours.
The difference in voter intensity should spell the difference in this election and, I hope, the fall elections.
I have suggested using the recall database as a tool for filtering out who you would consider hiring or letting go. Do you really want to hire or employ a pro-union anti-business worker that could cause trouble for your company?
Drove through SE Wisconsin this afternoon, through parts of Kenosha, Racine, Waukesha and Walworth Counties...I was surprised (pleasantly so) at how many “Recall Walker” yard signs are now GONE! (In contrast, plenty of “Stand With Walker” signs and their ilk out and about!)
I don’t live in Wisconsin but I added Gov. Walker as a friend on Facebook back when he was having all the union trouble. I have been very impressed by how he has communicated the successes that towns have had as a result of his reforms.
LOL!!! They listed sex offenders too — with pictures/mugshots!

... that the MSM can't be bothered with... what, being so busy with Trayvon, or whatever MSM topic de jour.
