On Barrett goes after Walker in Wis. recall debate

RAF, nice try, but your weak attempt at establishing an equivalency between calling someone a 'troll' and calling someone out for being an entrenched and extremist idealogue is a perfect example of your fallacious logic. It's exactly that faulty logic that leads you to almost always make weak arguments. By the way, I don't live in an 'ivory tower', but nice try with that, too.

RAF the namecaller stoops to verbal abuse as a crude substitute for a valid argument. This is typical of the tea party and today's so-called Republicans, neither of which are conservative in nature. While verbal abuse comes from all sides in the comments posted on here, the vast majority come from the right-wing fringe, as it has for ages. Of course, Walker is part of that crowd and deserves to be recalled.

RAF, if you knew anything about John Doe probes, you wouldn't be saying that 'gramme and his cohorts would be all over the news with it.' The DA won't say anything until the charges are filed or the probe is otherwise completed without further charges, which is looking to be increasingly unlikely. A secret email system in a governmental office would be a big no-no from a legal point of view. In fact, it would be a criminal enterprise, and rightfully so regarded and prosecuted. The prospect of Walker being indicted and forced to resign is all the more reason to vote for Barrett. Heaven help us if we have Kleefisch take over after a Walker resignation.

916WI, the truth of Walker's debate failure doesn't hurt me, but it definitely struck a chord with you. Who are you crappin'?

916WI, you've proven that you're not capable of original thinking, nor do you have the ability to accept the reality of Walker's debate failure.

connaw, concernedwi's point was specifically about the special session that was convened to deal with jobs. The legislature dishonestly rammed through bills that had nothing to do with jobs. Your spin paints you as the idealogue that you are.

RAF, only an extremist 'subjective view' would say that Walker won the debate. I was watching the debate with Walker supporters, and there were plenty of moans about Walker's performance throughout. He failed miserably to justify his continued governership. The consensus of the Walker supporters was that he would do better at the next debate.

RAF, there's nothing 'false notion' about Walker's failure to state that he would end collective bargaining, end payroll deduction for union dues, and require annual union certification (the latter two found to be unconstitutional). Those are facts that idealogues like you cannot refute, as much as you might try. The recall is essentially about Walker's failure and dishonesty as governor. It is not essentially a clash of grand plans.

TheJoker, 'The slant of the article is so anti-Walker' because Walker got schooled by Barrett. When the Packers beat the Bears is it 'anti-Bears' to present the Packers as the winners? Walker's debate statements probably play well as part of his stump speech at all of his out-of-state secretly orchestrated fund-raising events, but they don't work in the context of a debate against an opponent.

RAF, ideally, all candidates should be more specific about their plans, but that's not the way it works in today's political environment. Walker certainly would not have won his election if he had been forthcoming about his plans (e.g. he never stated that he would do away with collective bargaining rights). That's why you have to look at a candidate's record and experience. In that regard, Barrett's moderation shines in comparison to Walker's ideological extremism.
