Walker has been a godsend to our state

[kidd]

It is a pity Walker dropped out so early. He was my first choice. I guess showmanship counts more than leadership. Walker wasn’t a good showman

Also forgotten is that, under Democrat Doyle and with the agreement of their unions, state employees were required to take 8 days annually of unpaid furlough time to help with the state's financial problems. Walker eliminated that when he took office.

As they have for most private employees, insurance premiums and copays have gone up a bit. Those who can look at the issue rationally and voted for Walker because he was curtailing the unions have been glad to see reduced taxes.

And the article hardly portrays the way the Act 10 protests went down. My cousin’s wife was in the assembly for years. When they were creating and voting on Act 10, there were thousands who regularly protested in the state capital, chanting, beating drums and blowing on vuvuzelas. Every day she went to her office, she walked a gauntlet that jostled, cussed and threatened her. She was one of 60 republicans in the assembly who faced this daily for months. There wer 18 in the senate who faced the same. And then there was Walker himself, facing the abuse and threats. People here can call him all the shit they want, but this guy is quiet tough and great for Wisconsin.

Walker has been great for WI and is very popular, despite what his detractors on FRee Republic like to write

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Walker was my first choice for president. He knows how to fight without getting dirty. If only........God help us.
