So they want to recall those who are actually DOING their job?

the sad thing is, this is was the GOP should have been doing all this time--since the 14 have been AWOL... working to recall those 14... but no...instead it's the Dems who are doing it...

Actually, an effort to recall the Democrats has already started. From Greta van Susteren show:

Are AWOL Democrats Facing a Total Recall in Wisconsin?

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Well, those 14 defiant Wisconsin senate Democrats better not assume their jobs are safe. At this hour, some risk getting booted. Some Wisconsin citizens are upset that the 14 Democrats ran away to another state rather than stay home and vote on the budget. Some groups are now chanting recall, and our next guest is headlining one of the groups. Dan Hunt is chairman of Taxpayers to Recall Robert Wirch, one of the 14 missing senate Democrats. Good evening, sir.

DAN HUNT, TAXPAYERS TO RECALL ROBERT WIRCH: Hi, Greta. How are you doing?

VAN SUSTEREN: I’m very well. So how far have you gotten on this recall petition? And why do you want to recall this Democratic senator?

HUNT: Well, to start with the last question first, we actually want to recall Senator Wirch because he left his job. And it is solely that issue. He is no longer on the job representing us as his constituents. And as a result, we feel that because of the drastic action he took to leave the state to avoid a vote that we need to take drastic action, as well, and have him recalled.

As far as how far we’ve come, we started the action to recall him last Thursday. And in Wisconsin law, according to Wisconsin law, we have 60 days in order to gather the signatures that are required for the recall effort. And so we have started that effort, and actually, we have several signatures so far.

So, hootchy-kootchy lady, you imagine the Republicans didn't already start recall attempts ~ fact is there are THREE different recall petitions being built by the Republicans to take out the weakest of the 14.

The process allots 60 days to gather names on a petition. There are other time limits ~ both minimums and maximums ~ so it could take a number of MONTHS to get a recall on the ballot.

Now if you want to get those bad boys out of there fast all we need is for the pregnant Lady Democrat Senator who complained that she didn't like living on the lam to complain that she was KIDNAPPED (or detained against her will) ~ which I've thought she was all along.

Wrong. Yesterday I listened to Wisconsin Republicans who are collecting signatures to recall three Democrats. They were half-way there.
