The Democrats on all levels do not like to work. They like to schmooze and politic. They don't understand the notion of governing. FACT

Democrats are all about political favors, PAY TO PLAY is their mantra.

And Wisconsin exposed the incompetent, lazy Liberal Democrats. The preferential treatment Liberal Democrat Politicians give to only citizens that give them money is disgusting.

To the WI Dem Senators:

Here’s how this works.
We have elections to determine your party’s representation in the WI Senate.
You now have to live with those results.
Your childish behavior will certainly be rewarded in the next election cycle, if you’re not recalled before then.
Grow up and get back to work.
If your ideas had any merit, you wouldn’t be in this position.

They're phony polls, bought and paid for by the elites who are pulling the strings on this puppet show. Ignore them. If they were real, the Democrats would be in Wisconsin, setting up rallies in every town, in every congressional district. Are they?

They're fighting this in the media, in the virtual world of cyberspace. That's where they're winning. In the real world, they're dying.

Every word these people say is a lie. Every word. Their world view is a lie, their plans are based on lies, their arguments are based on lies.

Good points! Thanks!

They did this during Reagans first term. Practically every single night, each of the big three networks had a story about how "ordinary people" were "alarmed by the direction the country was taking." They were crying, screaming, begging the President to listen to them. But did he hear their cries? No.

Old people, young people, students, doctors, professionals, goverment employees, private sector employees... all were interviewed in their turn, and they all said the same thing. President Reagan is ruining the country. I can't sleep at night. I'm worried about my job. I'm worried about my kids future, their education, their chances to get a good job. On and on and on.

Polls were flashed on the screen virtually every night. No one supported Reagan. His policies were very unpopular, and growing more so every day. There were massive anti-war, anti-nuclear, anti-SDI demonstrations in Europe, in the Soviet Union, in the United States. Whole media events (like The Day After) were coordinated on the major networks with policy speeches by the opposition Democrats, all to show that Reagan's policies were opposed by ordinary people all over the world. Thinly-disguised anti-American, anti-Reagan songs made the top 40 play lists.

He didn't listen. He didn't even comment on them. He "stayed the course."

In 1984 he won a landslide victory. A real The media is trying to get Scott Walker to cave, the way the California media and unions got Arnold Schwartzenegger to cave. They're running the same playbook in Wisconsin, with help from the national media and the White House. They've got multi-billion dollar slush funds to use.

Don't be fooled.

I also remember Republicans being LOCKED out of 99% of
very Congressional hearing by Pelosi and their laughter about it.

Grow some balls Repubs, WE-WON, and don't you forget it.

He requested the meeting with Walker be near the Wisconsin/Illinois border. Good for Scott to turn it down with a laugh.

One of the fleebaggers is 6 months pregnant. I’m betting she’s the one who goes back.

A high risk pregnancy too, she's 40. She also has a 3 and 6 year old at home.

Not the best mom to say the least.

Dear Bob -

I'm just a Wisconsin taxpayer. But, it seems to me that any man or woman who runs away from his/her job to hide in Illinois has no right to call anyone dishonest.

Now, either come back to work or just quit and we will get someone to replace your sorry ass.

Wisconsin Tax Payers, ie: Hard Working Americans....

FIRED Russ Feingold. FIRED the sorry Liberal Thug.

Wisconsin's hard working Americans are tired of paying these incompetent LAZY Liberal Losers. They are LAZY. All they are competent in is repaying thugs who give them money under the table.

Liberal Wisconsin Democrats... you've been owned by the citizens of Wisconsin who think you are a joke. Pay to Play tactics in Wisconsin???

Don't think so. Losers refusing to work...they take all their time since January, 2011 in strategizing how they can stay outside of Wisconsin borders rather then doing the job the tax paying citizens of Wisconsin elected them to do. Liberal Democrat Politicians are a bunch of Suckers who are willing to do the Unions bidding just because they pay them under the table. LOL

Russ Feingold was FIRED on the spot. LOL These jokers are about to be Fired too for being incompetent and CORRUPT. Anyone who refuses to do their job is CORRUPT.

Why should he have to negotiate with them...that is what the debate is for, prior to the vote.

Sen. Mark Miller
Parts Unknown, IL

Dear Senator Miller,

Thank you for your hand-delivered letter with an offer to meet, in Illinois, about the business and
future direction of Wisconsin.

Let’s set aside how bizarre that is for a moment.

As you know, this legislation is designed to finally balance the state budget, prevent layoffs and
create jobs in the real world. There are hundreds of thousands of unemployed or underemployed
Wisconsinites, and at least 1,500 more whose jobs are in the balance because of your media
stunt. We all deserve better than this.

In the meantime, members of your caucus have been meeting with the governor’s staff, talking to
the media, trying to find a way back to Madison, and contradicting your message in public. In
case you don’t remember, you were present yourself at one of those meetings with the
governor’s staff. Your grasp of reality, and control of your caucus as minority leader, continues
to amaze me.

As you know, your opportunity to compromise and amend the bill was on the floor of the state
Senate. As you know, you forfeited that right and opportunity when you decided to flee the state
instead of doing your job.

Your stubbornness in trying to ignore the last election and protect the broken status quo is truly
shameful. While we wait for you and your colleagues to finally show up, Senate Republicans
continue to stand ready to do the job we were elected to do, here in Wisconsin. I hope you are
enjoying your vacation, and your vacation from reality.

Sincerely,

Scott Fitzgerald
Senate Majority Leader

CC: Governor Scott Walker

Wisconsin gonna go Red in 2012 ... Go Walker and Fitzgerald

And please remind the liberal hacks that Feingold was FIRED. And they are next. Bout time Liberals are shamed in the public square on a daily basis. Fitzgerald called the liar on his lying self. Saying one thing in public and negotiating another thing behind the scenes is the lying Liberal way.
