The people of Wisconsin need to take to the airwaves and local news outlets and condemn the actions of this mob. After all, it is the laws of Wisconsin citizens that are being trampled upon. It’s the property of the Wisonsin taxpayers that is being trashed and that they, the taxpayers will have to pay for cleaning up.

Every last one of these hired thugs is being paid by special interests and union dues to act like the pigs they are and to block the due process of law. THEY won’t lose a dime but you surely will!

Wisconsin citizens would be well within their rights to demand that their Capitol be cleared out and restored to its former dignity. Janitorial staff! Please take pictures! (Oh, I guess they must be unionized too.)

We have the ballot box now and they are losing it more every day. I’m reminded of an old saying about when someone is hell bent on making a fool of themselves, get out of the way so you don’t get any on you. The other is a dying animal is at its loudest and most dangerous right before the end.

Tea Partiers know the deal and are more concerned with supporting their families and can’t get free “Get Out Of Jail” cards from their employers. Besides, the Tea Partiers are like the two buzzards setting on an old dead branch with one saying to the other, Patience my ass, they’re gonna kill something”. They are perched overlooking the union bunch. Patience.

Hey, it was reported hours ago on Fox that the Tea Party had no events planned today in Madison, because they dispatched groups to protest the AWOL Democrats at their hiding places.

This I was unaware of...but think it's a good idea. I support them in their efforts!

They also should head for the districts from whence these cowards hale...and petition for recalls on all of them.

"Although tempted to agree with you, I think the wiser choice in this particular case is to let the idiots just wear out their welcome until even they realize it's time to go home in humiliation. Let them feel how utterly futile their efforts are and how profoundly unsupported their views are."

One of the problems in waiting them out is that many of the squatters are most likely paid and bussed in demonstrators. They are part of the rent a mob movement and the unions and Obama's front groups can fund them indefinitely.

Why do you display the flag of Qatar on your home page?

And, who are you to lecture us on the Constitution?

The 1st Amendment (free speech) does not allow someone to come into your house to spew their venom, or into a theatre to yell “Fire!”. The hours of the Capitol Bldg. are clearly posted, and it has been clearly announced for days that it would close at 4 pm today. Although the Capitol Bldg is public, so not quite the same as a private home, it is allowed to hold public “hours” when it is open and “hours” when it is closed to the public. The protestors are in clear violation of the law.

You claim to be a state employee and I hope that that is not true. I pray that I am not paying you. If I am, then send some of that maney to me, and I’ll come over and protest. I’ve done it before.

Maybe “Logic n’ Reason” is one of those new government bought multi personality software programs the government want to make people believe there is a big movement for something...

They are throwing a hissy fit like a child. It is for that very reason they are hurting their and your cause.

It is so sad that you are so emotionally invested in your arguement. Emotion...and nothing else.

What gives you the right or the proof to state that the protestors down at the capitol are representing "my cause"?

If you have no facts, please go watch the Oscars or some other "useful" endeavor.

You are absolutely right. And it is why the communists always win and why they will win this time.

Those in the Capitol Building are breaking laws. Trust me, we know how committed they are to the “cause”. This issue is between the legislature and governor....not the rinos, GOP (unless they are members of the legislature), and the Tea Party. The state is broke, the country is broke.....reality checks are needed.

His constant “where is the tea party” rant reeks of troll.

I think it’s time for martial law and curfews in Madison.

I am sitting right here in 2011, where communism is ablaze around the entire world in a manner Lenin would have given a limb to preside over.

Enough restraint already. Call in the National Guard with specific instructions. Do it for the children.

Excuse me emotional? Dare say. What is your basis for that accusation? To determine if I am emotional you would have to know me and or see me and I do not think you are capable of doing so right now if your in Wisconsin.

Now where is my challenge? Show me a prior link where you defended the Tea Party with such vigor and then I will weigh your words and support of the current child like protester with a little different perspective.

refusing to leave unless they're handcuffed

Break out the tasers. Zap them and then fine each and every one $10,000 for disturbing the peace. Repeat as needed.

First, it is no business of yours why I have the flag of Qatar on my personal page.

Second, if the protestors are in violation of the law, they will be arrested or receive whatever other controls and punishments the current law enforement community determines to levy.

Third, yes I am a state employee...have been for quite a while.

Fourth, you "pray" that you are not paying me (emotional and fact-less comment) infering that I am not doing my job, or that since you don't like my "views", you'd rather I not work for you. Thank heavens there is reality at least in my world. You do, in fact, through your taxes, pay me to do my job. And I thank you for it.

Fifth, I need all the money I'm paid. I use my own time and money to follow my chosen interests outside of work. I would suggest you do the same.

Talk - or in your case - type, is cheap.
