Walker kept trying to play nice. Since when do the Democrats care? He should have done this the day the fleabaggers hit the road.

[Doogle]

...enjoy the time with your family, you can thank the democratic party for leading you down this path....SUCKERS!

[tatown]

Yep, elections have consequences. LMAO

[so_real]

He'll be hated for it, naturally. But it's the only tool the libs have left him to do his job of balancing the budget. They've brought it upon themselves, and maybe this wake up call will help them to understand. Share the load together, or it will be dumped upon the selected. For too long, the selected has been the private sector.

After 3 weeks of anarchy and chaos and no end in sight?

What took you and the GOP so long Gov Walker. Were u paying to much attention to the PR war, while allowing chaos to breed? Who is advising you? Karl Rove?

[Tzimisce]

Don’t they get 99 weeks of unemployment?

Taxpayers are the biggest chumps. :)

[Tzimisce]

I can’t wait to watch these spoiled brats cry when they’re told they don’t have jobs anymore.

But look at the upside: we have a ROARING Obama economy. They should have no trouble finding new jobs with great pay. :)

[Luke21]

“Forcing,” taking away,” “won’t compromise.” I always pull the weasel words and prompts out of copy written by these media whores. And they deny their crap is slanted.

[Mygirlsmom]

(Rhetorical) Why is there no hate for Jim Doyle? He's the one responsible.

It's like the Wild West - Jim Doyle robbed the bank, went to the saloon and bought rounds of drinks for all, trashed the place and left without paying.

And everyone wants to blame the guy with the broom trying to clean up the mess.

[so_real]

You got that right!

[Gator113]

There’s your “hope & change.... enjoy.

[Longbow1969]

Ugh, I hope Walker isn’t negotiating away the best parts of the bill - the things few people have been talking about. The parts unions are so terrified of are about Wisconsin refusing to withhold union dues and the option workers would have to opt out of the union altogether.

The collective bargaining stuff is important, but letting people opt out of the unions, forcing the unions to have elections each year to remain certified, and ending the state collection of dues are the best parts of the bill - and are the pieces of the bill that would drastically diminish union power for years or even decades to come.

[Gator113]

Excellent.

[Bernard Marx]

And they deny their crap is slanted.

The biggest slants are what's NOT covered and how stories are "played," i.e., how much space they're given and where.

[afraidfortherepublic]

What is your problem. Walker is handling this sistuation just right. Walker, his family, and all the Republicans have had their lives threatened. Walker is following the law, and most of us are just fine with what he’s doing.

The (professional) rent-a-mob has blood in their eyes. Live rounds of ammo were found stashed at the Capitol today. Pray for him and all our legislators that this ends peacefully. Pray for the Dems too, ‘cause they’re gonna need it.

[Happy Rain]

As long as the union thugs with seniority get to keep ALL their pay and benefits they couldn't care less HOW many new members get the ax.
My wife was once an apprentice with a union—word would come down that,say,ten workers will be laid off—the old timers would simply “book out” ten apprentices and THEY would be the ones terminated.
The gifted young teacher who loves kids—but who is new—will be laid off while the kid hating,sorry-ass old dunderhead has job security.
THAT is what Walker is trying to fix.

[timetostand]

I can’t wait to watch these spoiled brats cry when they’re told they don’t have jobs anymore.<<<<<

Do these brats get 99 weeks of unemployment??

[ROTB]

How much do Union bosses lose? A pittance, eh? (not Canadian)

[ROTB]

>And they deny their crap is slanted.

Relax. Everyone that is not a 100% Christian will answer for every lie before being thrown into the Lake of Fire.

I pray not anyone on FR, or anyone I know. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.
