Ohhh, yes. Farmers often let the wolves count the chickens in the henhouse. Republicans are funny.

I am starting to believe it when they say "the Tea Party has done more damage to America than any terrorist attack ever has" is true....:(

Wow -I just realized, it's Midnight Ride as in Paul Revere.... that is pure Founding Fathers-Liberty-with-a-2nd- Amendment-Bullet genius!
.
We the People of the Republic...Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty...Tea Party....the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, Patriots one and all!! ... excuse me for a moment - I'm getting choked up on how much you Patriots truly care about me and my holdings.

Midnight--Please link us to the evidence of your "well-known fact." Otherwise, it's just a lot of baloney that you made up.

Midnight Ride - I had to google Saul Alinsky to find out what those thug unionista teachers were up to now....and that Alinsky guy has been dead for nearly 3 decades-hahahaha. You are an unabashed great patriot!

Feb 8, 2012 at 9:48 a.m.Midnight--You're kidding, right? The reason they are opting out is because walker has stripped them of the right to bargain collectively

What is so wrong with your remark is that it is a well know fact that when you give an employee a right to choice, most will choose to stay out of unions. When unions are no longer the only choice, the membership drops 30% immediately on goes down from there.

People like choice. Don't you?

"Tea Party Upset?" - Boo Hoo, crybabies.
.
RAF - Amicus briefs outline and support legal arguments and principles, not present evidence. Try again.

mrsdamracefan gonna be hard to vote again for Walker when he is in JAIL!

Yada - the only thing that the mouses spews is anti Walker and Koch.
.
But I understand as you lefties say, One leftie for all and all lefties for the UNION.

Tea party people upset? I'm not upset, I'm cool with the decision. BTW, in one poll 26% of TEA party people will NOT vote for Mitt Romney under any circumstances.

I am voting for walker again, he has done what needed to be done!!! He has my vote and I know for a fact it is not the only one!!!! Time for change, this is good change

Midnight--You're kidding, right? The reason they are opting out is because walker has stripped them of the right to bargain collectively. If they cannot bargain, they cannot be effective. Please don't say, "But they can still bargain for pay," because they cannot. If there is no quid pro quo, there is no bargaining. If you take away all other bargaining chips, and leave only one, there is no bargaining. After all, what can they offer in exchange for a raise in pay? In the past, the union could say, "We will give back one vacation day per year in exchange for a higher pay rate," or something like that. But those things are all gone now, so what walker calls bargaining for pay goes like this: "Can we get a raise in pay?" "No." End of "bargaining. You have to have something to offer in exchange in order to bargain, and those things have all been stripped away. So what good can the unions do for members now? THAT'S why the teachers are opting out, not because they have converted to the Nazi way of thinking.

One reason way Walker will not be recalled is that Teachers are opting out of Unions. Don't need them. Walker will win, not because of money, but because the Teachers are seeing the light.

Unions running out of money and embrassing Saul Alinsky tactics as I said yesterday

Saul Alinsky playbook:
Degrade, destroy, reduce, or damage your opponent but never engage them in debate

Why shouldn't the rich, tea party, John Birch Society, Americans For Prosperity people be upset about their boy getting recalled? They spent a ton of money to back him. It seems the same people are trying to buy mitt romney's seat too. Follow the money people!!!

OK, so 3rd parties can't allege fraud, but the targets of the recalls can. All the teabaggers have to do is funnel their evidence to Walker and HE can present it to the board. But it would be a waste of time since they got so many signatures, fully half of them would have to be invalid to call this off. Bye bye, Scott!!!

yada, If I didn't know better, you sound exactly like the immature mouse. Please tell me he is the only idiot. Not you too.

Oh Kay, I do love to hear your opinion! You never cease to amaze me at how you will spin, deflect, and wiggle to defend this administration.

KAY BREWSKI - I can answer the question - Walker is WRONG! Any man that must continually tell the public that he is a man of integrity, a Boy Scout, son of a minister, etc knows he can only fool a few people as governor. Walker has continually surrounded himself with many that break the law and now are finally starting to get caught. There is a lot more in the JOHN DOE investigation that will be in the news. Many that have supported Walker are also finding it hard to believe him. It was comical to see Walker tell us in his State of the State speech that he is turning things around and the very next day 2 more Walker staffers are charged with multiple felony and misdemeanor charges.

NIDNIGHTRIDE - MOUSE has more to say than anything that you have offered us. Best if you contunue your MIDNIGHT RIDE and fade into oblivion.

It was YOUR buddy Walker who went to court to get a judge to DEMAND that the GAB review the signatures. Your buddy, Walker, obviously has more faith in the agency than you do!

So what is it? Are YOU wrong? Or is WALKER wrong?

On what plant does someone have to go to court to DEMAND that an agency do their job, mean that they have faith in that agency. Sounds like the exact opposite. who is wrong...you! poohab

4bears
happy you await my opinion with baited breath

I am constantly astounded that mouse can engage so many people to trade verbal abuse while having absolutely nothing to say. I’m sure the gazette didn’t intend this forum to be used by adolescents.

mouse has been on from 10am to 9pm yesterday - honey, get out of the basement.

Sorry, I just added one more to the sucker's list.

The five retired judges who comprise the GAB agreed with staff's determination that outside groups can't bring challenges to the board. The law only allows for the board to consider rejecting signatures based on evidence brought forward by its staff or the targeted office holders, Kennedy said. Petition circulators are allowed to defend against those challenges. This is the correct interpretation of the law. Problem would be you let outside groups in this they would challenge signatures till the cows came home and the GAB’s work would never get done till the next election is done. You all want this recall to happen right. Here is what to do let the GAB alone to do their work or this recall will never happen and will waste the money for this recall for nothing.

"Just as the court system doesn't allow people to walk off the street and present evidence, the GAB shouldn't change its established process for reviewing and challenging petition signatures either, Kennedy said."
-
Sadly this excuse is without merit. There are hundreds if not thousands of examples of friends of the court briefs where people with strong interests but not a party to the action have put forth information on cases.

Wah, wah, wah! Need a tissue? Isn't that the response these people have given to Democrats, public employees, and others who have supported the recall process over the last few months?

well kaysbrew, I believe poobah asked you a question?

Theres another completely independant VTR volunteer. Jonkin, I understand your ideological bias here. But could you please post the page numbers and signatures that you found to be fraudulent? I have reviewed HUNDREDS of pages and have found some signatures that I would consider not allowable, about 40 by my count. I started at the beginning and am getting close to 500 pages reviewed. Now I am a supporter of the recall and have found about a signature or two here or there that was just so poorly done that I just discounted them because it looked like someone was trying to make a mockery of the process. Now do you think that the signatures of that nature are coming from WEAC, or from the Walker supporters??

Your repeated blathering about WEAC and 2 to 3 per page blah blah blah is funny. I would be interested in any and all problems you have found , real ones not rhetorical. Please post the page numbers, I would go right to them!! Maybe instead you should post the links to the pdfs so anyone can go to them and look and not listen to this ridiculous blubbering on your part.
Are you another personality of Darlene Winklady?

Gee, why should we have to follow the law?

Maybe it was a crayon /joking

jonkin--For all of you at Verify the Recall that are critiquing handwriting and advocating that illegible signatures be thrown out, have you ever seen Scott Walker's signature? He sent me a written reply to an email I had sent and had signed it in felt-tip pen. Had I not known who the letter was from, I would have never guessed that signature was "Scott Walker".

Bowgal......... fraud? Corruption?
Violations and obstruction in public office?
You pick.......
http://www.thewheelerreport.com/releases...

tahnkyou howard- you are right. This is ridiculus.

gmaof3: "Plus, there is the idea that people were representing their neighbors, families and friends on these petitions, without the person's knowledge. I myself am posting MY name with the GAB site-list to be sure my name has NOT been hijacked by a Walker recall supporter. It HAS been documented that this has occurred."

Please cite where I can find this documentation. I am not talking about citing which right-wing website you read a blog from. Where is the factual, non-biased, documentation? I have heard of one story near Racine, but it most likely is a case of a Walker supporter trying to make a mockery of the recall process.

lol, I expect the tea party/John Birch society folks are scrambling to find out if Gamble has an E or an S for a middle initial.

GOOD ONE POOBAH!!!

"Larry Gamble, spokesman for the Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty" seemed like an unusual name, so I plugged it into CCAP. Very amusing. Oh, and do a Lawrence Gamble search too. So then I decided to check out "Ross Brown, president of the tea party group We the People of the Republic" but there were too many different variations. Same people? I don't know but it'd be funny if a reporter asked them about their background.

kaysbrew said, "the GAB has outlived it's purpose. If the challenges aren't to be held accountable, why does this over paid agency exist?"

So what is it? Are YOU wrong? Or is WALKER wrong?

A study reported on by Live Science found that "Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies" There is reason to believe that strict right-wing ideology might appeal to those who have trouble grasping the complexity of the world."
"Socially conservative ideologies tend to offer structure and order," which is why people who can't think for themselves need people like Limbaugh, Hannity & O'Rielly to tell them what to think. Comments on here by Tea Party people repeat what these 3 bigoted idiots preach verbatim.
http://readersupportednews.org/news-sect...

The study also addresses extreme left wing kooks also.

jonkon... I just heard on WPR that they are weeding out all the "Donald Ducks and Mickey Mouses" from the petitions. Plus, there is the idea that people were representing their neighbors, families and friends on these petitions, without the person's knowledge. I myself am posting MY name with the GAB site-list to be sure my name has NOT been hijacked by a Walker recall supporter. It HAS been documented that this has occurred.
And actually, there are NO big drives in the northern counties against Walker, its the political power wagon of these southern counties stirring up all the dust. Good luck with that. I will vote MY conscience with this next election, should it come to fruition, just as I did the first time around.

Was there any doubt that this would happen?
There board is all Dolt hacks.

@bowlgal...I think you've been smokin too many bowls. "But when Republicans get disenfranchised and are not allowed to challenge fraud and identity theft, it's a big old sit down and shut up." It was directly stated in the article that the 2 teaparty groups will be posting thier information on-line and then the targeted official can use that information to challange the recall. A bit of a reading comprehesion problem?
Seriously, do you really believe that 460,000 signatures can be invalid? Give it up. The recall is happening

The verify the recall will be posting all challedged names on there web site that the GAB refuses to throw out.
public knowledge

the GAB has outlived it's purpose. If the challenges aren't to be held accountable, why does this over paid agency exist?

Take it to court. Doyle appointed retired liberals.

@jonkon- You cannot be serious. You are calling the petitions unusable because of handwriting or inability to spell correctly. The people signing the petitions are citizens whether they have what you deem correct handwriting or not. You should see mine- my wife can't even read it. It doesn't make the petitions fraudulent or unusable.

I mean I'm talking goosebumps. I got em... American star goosebumps all over myself thinking about those wonderful tea party groups standing for all that is good and pure in this nation.

I mean, seriously people of this forum ??!.... "We the People of the Republic" & "Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty" lol.
.
Did I log onto the Onion by mistake?
.
Whoever came up with the names for those wonderful organizations has taken the star-spangled cake. I will definitely be sending some more tri-cornered hats and little crispy American flags their way. lol-o-l!

The GAB decision is a panicked reaction to distract from the fact that most of the signatures collected are unusable. WEAC is facing an humiliating defeat of the Walker recall effort because the most strident supporters of teachers unions lack the basic skill of filling in a legal form with their name and address. Forget about the documented fraudulent signatures that forced the creation of Verify the Recall. As a VTR volunteer, I have found that at most 2-3 of the signatures on each petition are even usable. GAB's proposed optical character recognition software will have even worse results than what VTR volunteers are able to accomplish. WEAC is so focused on pushing their feel-good liberal social agenda that basic skills, like writing as a MEANS OF COMMUNICATION to other people, have fallen by the wayside. Signatures are illegible scrawls or do not match the printed name; signatures are used in place of printed names; addresses are missing names of municipalities and/or zip codes; municipalities and streets are misspelled, and various loops are indistinguishable as to whether they are the letters a, b, d, e, i, o, l, or t. While it is permissible for another person to fill out all but the signature portion, if you let your child fill out the printed name, make sure that it is spelled correctly!

Seriously-the two Tea Party groups are called:
.
"We the People of the Republic"
.
"Wisconsin GrandSons of Liberty"
.
Sorry fellow patriots, ^ has me laughing so hard that I'm crying. hahahahaha. Aw Beautiful. I salute you Patriots.

This article and the responses are a perfect example of a double standard. The Democrats have a cow over voter ID and cry disenfranchise!
But when Republicans get disenfranchised and are not allowed to challenge fraud and identity theft, it's a big old sit down and shut up.

I would like that very much, as soon as we vote to keep this brave and brilliant Governor.

Almost 30% of the registered voters in Wisconsin signed the petition. When will these nuts come to their senses and stop trying to obstruct the legal recall process set forth in Wisconsin's constitution? Voter fraud? Come on. The notion that there could have been fraud on a scale massive enough to generate 460,000 fraudulent signatures is patently ridiculous. Want to save costs? Get on with it!

Fedup..... You do what?
RECALL WALKER....... BOYCOTT KOCH PRODUCTS.

Pathetic belly-aching crybabies got their underwear all bunched up.

Tea Partiers... your bags are empty..time to go away..

The bottom line in my opinion all the parties should but out and let the GAB do its work so they get it done as quickly as possible. Sooner the GAB gets this done sooner we can have this recall and the less cost us taxpayers in the long run.

The bottom of the article says it all. If they post factual data, the Governor's people can use it in their case as evidence. the whining is just typical political tantrums.

Every signature is online and readily available to anyone who wants to view them.

Tea party is losing their influence. So who cares if they are pissed. I cant wait to vote walker out.

Example please, no rhetoric..

the lefties only concern themselves with the law when it is in their favor, else they say The Law Be Damned.

""The law only allows for the board to consider rejecting signatures based on evidence brought forward by its staff or the targeted office holders, Kennedy said. Petition circulators are allowed to defend against those challenges. ""
THE LAW. Got it? piss and moan, its the LAW!

The tea-scum won't be happy when Walker is thrown out of office either.

Read the leaves.

Too many cooks in the kitchen - we will be happy to go out and vote for the re-election of Governor Scott Walker.

The headline for every Tea Party news story. "Tea Party Leaders upset........" Is there no happiness with the tea party idiots?
