Published before the vote today, this article is required reading for those FReeers who made nasty remarks about Gov. Scott Walker over the past few weeks.

Those of us who have watched him at work in the past knew he would stand firm, and he did. Why?

Because we knew his approach to life, in his own words, is "trust and obey" God.

Amen brother. I had to laugh last night at how many folks here at FR that hate the lamestream, but bought into their spin that Walker was folding. If he didn't after a few days of the protests, he had no reason to now. He is a solid man. God bless Scott Walker.

Courtesy reference to Tom Petty:

"Well I won't back down
No I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down"

Standing firm is one thing. Letting the tail wag the dog is entirely another.

I gained a new perspective on the reason for the dawdling by the Repubs (Walker included). The Repubs naively thought that their comrades of the Senate, with whom they’ve worked for years, wouldn’t lie and manipulate them like they have. Once it became clear to the Repubs that the Dem senators were dancing to the unions’ tune, without regard for the danger they were creating for the democratic process, they wanted to make a statement. The Dems have been claiming that several of the Repub senators were going “wobbly”. This vote tonight, 18-1, proved that to be untrue.

Great job Scott Walker and all the WI Republican senators as well. Job well done!!

Didn’t I read the emails were sometime ago? Also, I bet the polls are fake.

Good for him, we need someone who will get the job done. We will have lots of time to see how he operates, but it doesn’t like he has some fine history to build on.

thanks bigbob for the posting. some posts were pretty harsh on Scott Walker. The winds of change cause some people to bounce around. Scott walker stood his ground and guess there will a few more days of havoc yet to go in Madison. Hopefully the vitirol and hatred will go away among some FRs.

i have been ranted and raved at called a drunk and drug addict to stop posting on FR. why because I had cervical neck surgery I use dragon naturally Speaking, a voice activated software speech recognition program. I am learning it yet.

I do not know whether or not I will remain on FR. Lot depends on if the hatred and vitroil remains.
