I think that crowd looks small — hardly any bigger than at a normal Saturday morning market crowd in Madison.

I think the next big thing Gov. Walker should try to tackle is curtailing this seriously abused recall measures, for which WI leftist activists have made a complete mockery of. One might be to adapt a “loser pays” system, whereby they not only have to pay for their own candidacy, but for the costs of holding the election AND for those of the winner’s. Another is perhaps getting rid of it altogether.

The fact that it forces almost any elected official (in this case, specifically Republicans) to be in a continuous campaign mode and the cost to taxpayers is outragerous. Either that, or go to 2-year terms across the board for all offices (which WI used to have until the 1960s). If a Governor has engaged in actions that would justify removing them from office, that’s what impeachment is for, and should be used as such.

Lastly, as a parting gift to the leeches, Gov. Walker should openly outlaw ANY public sector/government unions in the state. The fact that they are allowed to exist whatsoever is an affront to taxpayers, who have no representation for their interests in footing the bill for these benefit-heavy and overpaid thugs.
