TAMPA, Fla., March 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Free Enterprise Nation (FEN) today released the results of a national poll that shows strong support for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker among Independent voters. The poll of voters outside of Wisconsin, taken from March 3rd to March 9th, included 500 Democrat, 500 Republican and 500 Independent voters.

FEN spokesman, Jim MacDougald stated that "This poll contradicts some of the other polls we've seen. According to our poll, 95% of Republicans agree with the Governor, and 92% of Democrats agree with the union. There is not much of a surprise there. But 66% of Independent voters agree with the Governor, and this group is what swings most elections."

Can you imagine if Tea Partiers acted like this after OBAMACARE passed. It’s the same thing. We thought that was wrong and they think this is wrong..but look at the way each side acts.

A good example of why Democrats are economic death wherever they are in control.

This is a real leader, someone who thinks ahead and knows how to handle interviews and a PR campaign. In my lifetime I dont remember seeing a Republican being able lead clueless Democrats to slaughter so masterfully like he did. He is one hell of a fighter.

I think there may be some evidence that more of the Indies in Wisconsin are going wobbly. It isn't easy seeing your capitol building trashed and the hippies and rent-a-mobs reliving the 1960's. Meanwhile the ministry of propaganda keeps playing the old shtick about "abolishing collective bargaining rights" when all Walker and the legislature are trying to do is bring them a little closer to what the people who pay the taxes have.

I still think Walker and the legislature will win this thing, but it won't be as easy as some people think.

Fine, but Scott Walker doesn’t give a damn about polls and neither should we. Celebrate our Conservative Principles and rededicate ourselves to them, redouble our efforts to share them and put them into practice instead.

Like Rush often says, conservatism works every time it’s tried. Gov. Walker knows this, and he’s putting them to the test. We will now see more good things happening in Wisconsin, and no polls will be needed to tell us people have jobs, the economy is growing, and the state is on solid fiscal ground.

They are not used to losing. Like most four year olds, they cannot handle it when things don't go their way. Worse, maybe, they are not used to conservatives of the tea party mentality (republican terrorists as it were) taking to 'their' streets. I mean, the nerve of it!

I doubt many average joe democrats understood what the sweep of last year's election meant to the States. The elite dems did. But I bet even they probably didn't think the republican men or women who won governorships, like the Wisconsin gov would ever show the 'balls' it takes to ACT OUT on the ideals promised in campaign rhetoric.

I am loving it.

And know that every inch gained is good for our nation.

Hildy-we are finding a voice. And a place. Hope we can hang on to it for a long time.

Yes. And you have to love that he has gone public with his siding with the unions. I do. :-)

Sure,the liberal media would be raving.

However,this isn’t the same thing. Obamacare is wrong. Freeing ourselves from it is the right thing to do. Freeing ourselves from a factor that is bankrupting our cities,towns and states is the right thing to do too. It is not a simple,equal difference of opinion,because both the public unions and Obamacare use government force against private individuals who have no recourse. That’s how I see it.

Those polls that came out last week showing support for the union knuckledraggers were all bull****. The state run “media” was hoping to turn the public against Governor Walker and the Republicans.

I'll second that. Walker waited until the rats sent an email saying come to the boarder and negotiate. Then he released emails showing he was negotiating all along. Richie Maddow declares victory and then...Bam!!! Three weeks of Joe Blow paying for day care on teacher strike days, doctor notes, fleebaggers, layoff notices, and slobs sleeping on the capitol floor for nothing.

HA HA.

Walker could have let it go on...but the protests kept getting smaller and smaller. Walker needed the union thugs and student hippies to keep getting wackier to wake up the sleeping giant that gave Nixon a landslide reelected in 72.

bad move rats. WISCONSIN LABOR RIOTS WILL LIKELY TIP THE U. S. TO THE RIGHT.

Total worthless poll. It does not matter what the nation says but only what Wisconsin says. Or is this one of those polls that are accurate and supported here. Polls are confusing here as just the “cheerleading polls” count.

Hey Diana, we’ll trade you Quinn and Jay Cutler for Walker and Aaron Rodgers.

I’ll even through in your choice of Cubs players for the Brewers as a bonus.

Interested? ;D

Nope. Not interested in the least.

In my entire life here, we’ve never had this awesome combination of winning teams! :)
