There was nothing to it. When people think they are talking to a billionaire, they have been known to humor them.

That's all he did.

They're trying out new, extreme tactics. These will be refined and used against Obama's replacement in 2013. As the next President tries to right the badly listing ship of state, these people are going to let loose with everything they have, in the media, in cyberspace, and (probably) on the world stage, with coordinated military, economic, financial, and terrorist attacks around the world and here at home.

The Democrats will make common cause with foreign powers to disrupt our way of life as much as possible. I would expect that ex-President Obama will set up shop in a foreign country, probably in the Middle East, and from there act to rally international opposition to the United States. He will share all sorts of classified information to which he is privy in furtherance of these plans. He will be supported in super-luxury by aid money he is, at present, routing to unfriendly foreign governments.

We will see then that the tactics that are being tried out right now against the Republicans in Wisconsin are just a test prototype for the real thing. That will happen in 2013 and 2014.

Walker is being palinized- attempts to politically paralyze and ruin him via frivolous lawsuits

“The Democrats will make common cause with foreign powers to disrupt our way of life——” There is nothing new here. That Bas—trd Ted Kennedy sent letters to the Soviets telling them how to deal with our government to get what they want. There is no doubt in my mind that other damocrats are doing likewise. The name Kerry comes to mind. It’s typical democrat b.s.

I don't think Walker realizes who he's up against. I admire him for not backing down. But I think he doesn't see the entire picture of the Left, the socialist/communist side of the Democrats and how they'll do anything and everything to overturn a legitimate election.

They're going to try and Palinize Walker, I just hope somewhere in WI law forbids this garbage.

Walker does understand what he is up against. He is quite capable of handling the rats.

I pray it will be thrown out, but Governor Walker had better brace himself. He is strong, courageous and has stood his ground and they are about to throw everything possible at him now.

Pray for him....and for our future here in America!

“When people think they are talking to a billionaire, they have been known to humor them.”

Especially when that billionaire has vast business enterprises with thousands of employees in the state he governs.

Whoever made the prank call AND recorded it has committed a crime. However, the democrats don’t want to go down that road.

“On December 11, 2006, a report released by the House Ethics committee concluded that McDermott “violated ethics rules by giving reporters access to an illegally taped telephone call involving Republican leaders a decade ago.”

Give ‘em enough rope and they’ll hang themSELVES!

They have so many ethics problems, how can they possibly “cast the first stone”?

....but they’ll try, anyway!

In the beginning I had confidence in Walker. However, the longer this drags on the likelihood of him succeeding goes down. In the end Walker will only slow down Wisconsin's financial demise. Walker truly doesn't seem to understand what evil is arrayed against him.

“We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them...you create a nation of lawbreakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden.” Dr. Floyd Ferris from Atlas Shrugged.

With all due respect, I think your comment is a wee bit ignorant. These two people have been making the difficult decisions, getting lambasted for them and sticking to them. I think they understand full well what it is they’re up against. I think these two people understand better than those of us who just post in a political forum. Just sayin’

He fired back today. He is releasing ALL written communication from his office, e-mail included, between the administration and the 14 fleebaggers.

The fleebaggers are shaking in their boots. Look for this thing to resolve soon - I predict within 72 hours.
