Group says it has enough names to force recall election of Sen. Scott Fitzgerald

Wisconsin State Journal ^ | 1-13-12

This complaint is bogus all the way around.

"Strip workers of nearly all their rights?" Ridiculous. They still can negotiate salary with union representation. They just have to pay their dues directly, instead of having them automatically deducted from their pay checks. And this hurts the workers, how? No, this hurts the overpaid, fat, union hierarchy.

Campas is upset because Fitzgerald didn't interupt his meeting because Assemblyman Peter Barca was shouting at him. Absurd! Barca is in the Assembly. Fitzgerald was running a meeting of the Senate. Barca has no standing in the Senate.

Campas is totally illogical in her reasoning here.

Wisconsin Sen. Fitzgerald Recall Ping.

If you want your name on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list, just FReep Mail me and it shall be done.

This is the Dem’s latest tactic. They can’t win the election when eveyone’s watching so they try recall elections, not nearly the turnout and they have the advantage of being on it from conception.

I say the Tea Party starts recalling Dems. Turnabout is fair play.

[hal ogen]

The fact that the LIB/DIMs are moronic and judgement-impaired doesn’t cause them to reconsider any of their faulty and insane utterances and behaviors. Oh, how I wish the LIBs hadn’t succeeded in closing more state mental hospitals in the 70’s. That leaves without an appropriate place to spend their worthless lives.

[Paleo Conservative]

I think these groups that want to force recall elections should have to post a bond of enough money to pay for the recall election costs. If they win the election, they get their money back. If they lose the election, they lose their money.

Twilight Zone Dem/lib mentality and desperate Dem/lib hyperbole--but I wax redundant. Dem/lib would explain all.

Great idea except most of the Tea Party would just pray. Prayer without works is dead. Quit the bull and Tea Party get busy.

I heard on the radio that one of the names on the recall list was “Donald Duck”. That name wasn’t questioned as legitimate. What is this world coming to?

Permanent chaos and political anarchy. See what that did for Weimar. Never ending campaigns, constantly changing alliances, etc. Who thought up this goofy ‘recall’ law?

Whenever I see conservatives pushing for some radical solution to our current crisis I wonder if they’ve forgotten that liberty is a low entropy system.

I’m just going to say it: “B*tch, Please!” LOL!

The LefTards in our state have lost it! If they have enough (legitimate) signatures to recall Governor Walker, then BRING IT!

WHO is the LEFT going to run against him in a recall election? LOL! Kathleen Falk? Bwaa-Haa-Haa!

There has been NO talk of anyone on the left even WANTING THE JOB with a Republican House AND Assembly. Sure. You can WIN it through cheating and the dead voting, but you’ll be a Lame Duck Governor and won’t get a THING passed into law! Gawd, they’re SO incredibly stupid and SO incredibly WHINY!

Yes, a few of our Republican Senators are also being recalled. Wisconsin Voters have ‘Recall Fatigue’ in this state; I don’t see the minor recalls being overturned...and then WHO are the LefTards going to run against the recalled Republican Senators?

It’s just SO ridiculous, any way you look at it - and I’m not even talking TAXPAYER DOLLARS here!

What-EV-er, Losers! *Rolleyes*

I don’t know who he is, but it has to be said: “F Scott Fitzgerald”.

Three times? Or on three radios?

Over the last year we have watched Scott Fitzgerald change from a man who won re-election on a platform of jobs and economic development into a man who is more interested in lining up behind Gov. Walker

Since those things are one and the same, that's not a change.

[Republican Wildcat]

I have to say, despite all of this - I’m sure for you in Wisconsin it is nice to see that you have REAL Republicans running things in everything they control - Governor, Senate, House. It’s proof they do in fact exist. Your state will be the better for it.

[fortheDeclaration]

What is the matter with that State?

This is an abuse of the recall power.

[jellybean]

...collected more than the 16,742 signatures needed to trigger the election...

I heard on Thursday they were just short of the 16,742 signatures they need. Even though they were given an extra day to gather signatures, I think they'll just barely meet the goal. Fitzgerald should be able to successfully challenge enough signatures to defeat the recall attempt.

Just want to correct for precision here in packerland. Governor Walker’s reforms reduced their ability to bargain on wages with a cap tied to CPI.

-——Act 10 limits increases to total base wages that may be bargained by local governments. This is because the bill ties negotiated base wages to the consumer price index (CPI).——

Oh and the meeting where Barca was being an a(** was a joint assembly-senate conference. God forbid a loud, whiny little leftist dictator couldn’t stop the duly elected majority doing what the voters elected them to do.

[sgtyork]

Great to hear!!! Woo hoo!!! Thanks!!!
