Mother Teresa and Bin Laden are not speaking to each other.
They are staying at separate hotels.

fear, you get it... socialize the risk and privatize the gain... pretty much the game plan.

916wi, I'm the clueless one? You continue to support the the gov...who is Scooter modeling after, Louisiana? nice.... at the end of his term, should he win, We will see who is the one with egg on their face. Now, go have another glass of koolaid.

RichE95, it's so very disingenuous of you to only mention the left when you talk about that type of behavior. I can show you a list of comments that have been deleted within the last couple of weeks because of derogatory language and name calling by people from both the right and the left. Stop with the fake rage -- it's as bad as the behavior you're describing.

When all else fails, liberals turn to personal attack, name calling, filthy language etc. It reminds me of the way the UAW used to talk about GM managers. That worked out real well. We should grieve for the ordinary people who buy into the hate, greed, and bigotry of the left.

Hatred from the Dems on this site will not win the recall. Having 'tantrums' in public for over a year will not win this recall. Calling people 'stupid' for voting for tax relief while their lives and businesses suffer will not win this recall. Using union and government agencies in Madison to stop legislation will not win this recall.

The reason Walker has opened a lead in the polls? See the previous statements.

He shouldnt because there are more people in the state than the ones like you whom he seems to have bought. The funny thing is that taking away collective bargaining is just lazy government, not a financial tool. Its just him being afraid to negotiate. Open the books and say this is what we have, lets make a deal. Instead its force feeding people while giving away millions of tax dollars to big donors, freinds of donors, and political appointees. I find it so funny that people like you seem to always folllow the tea party montra of cut spending , and act as if Walker has or wants to cut anything. He will just cut one thing and give to another. There is plenty evidence of this crony Capitalism is all over you just jhave to look around. Maybe you should ask yourself why do we have to continue to bear the tax burden while 2/3 of business pays none? While Many in the govt continue to bribe and extort business with your valuable tax dollars. Your 1.2 billion in tax increases have kept this state afloat during very hard economic times, and yet that seems to go unnoticed. BTW did you see a substantial tax increase during that HUGE 1.2 billion tax hike? I didnt, not at all, so what got raised?

The tax increases include: $540 million paid from oil company profits; $318 million by creating a new 7.75% tax rate for the richest 1% of taxpayers; $290 million in higher taxes on cigarette smokers; $215 million in higher corporate income taxes; and more than $85 million paid on capital gains.

So enough with this 1.2 billion increase like we all paid for that in everyday income /property taxes, because that my friend is a myth.

Fear....Why shouldn't walker govern that way? These issues which you are so opposed to are what he based his campaign on and are exactly why the majority of us are going to get out and vote for him again. For walker to even consider an idea such as reinstating collective bargaining, would be going against everyone who supported him throughout this recall process.......enough with the rhetoric about dictators as well......you do remember the republicans and their constituents being completely shut out of the last budget process.......every one of them voted against the $1.2 billion in tax/fee increases.....where was the willingness of the democrats to work together in that situation? I'm fairly confident that walker will win this election--I hope he takes the victory as a mandate to continue with his reforms, as I agree with almost all of those introduced to this point....gotta go--have a lot going on tomorrow....good night!

It surely would be a reversal. From controlling the executive branch and both bodies of the legislative branch to not controlling the executive and only half of the legislative branch. That would be a major reversal....within just 18 months at that!

Poobah.....except it's not the reversal of that, now is it? Come on, it's not that late....

Don't worry, when Barrett wins, Wisconsin won't be modeled after Illinois or any other state. Barrett will keep Wisconsin all Wisconsin. Not like Walker who hates Wisconsin and would rather see it modeled after Indiana or Alabama. It does matter greatly who wins on June 5th. Don't be sad coffeeman. Cheer up.

"In a time of crisis, real leaders bring people together, you chose to divide and conquer" -- Tom Barrett, telling it like it is.

Good to see vato copy and re-pasting a few "projections" of savings from 16 districts of the 443 districts in the state. DPI STATISTICS show that 82% of school districts will be having staff reductions this year.
916- please enough with the forward rhetoric. Wisconsin is clearly moving , forward would not be the direction I would use, but fine. The commercials are getting to you. Try to remember that of the 5 million people that live here , nearly HALF of us think that Scott Walker couldnt give a SH** about the people here and is concerned only with profitting and rewarding his freinds and donors only. Stop watching commercials and start looking around, Walker may have won the first election, he may very well win again, but his majority is and always has been razor thin. Shouldnt he govern that way? He governs like he has a 90% majority. Time to remember that there is a middle of the road solution to everything, this state and nation has been doing it that way since our inception. Scott Walker and many of his ilk seem to be acting like dictators, THAT is why there is a recall.

916WI, do you remember saying, "In what had been considered a "blue" state, in the course of one election cycle, they took control of every branch of the state's government?"

I was addressing the reversal of that. Come on, it's not that late!

Poobah.......huh? What does that have to do with anything that was stated in my post?

916WI, on June 5th Democrats can gain control of the governorship and senate. Leaving only the house in Republican control. How quickly things get corrected by the voters.

4bears....do you honestly think that the state will heal under Barrett? The Republicans had obviously had enough. In what had been considered a "blue" state, in the course of one election cycle, they took control of every branch of the state's government. Are you seriously clueless enough to suggest that the state would "heal" by invalidating an election that clearly half of the state supported?? Most of us are fully aware that the state would not move forward under democratic control. I, for one, do not want to model the state after Illinois.....

jasper, I love your commentary... out of state this and that ... where was your boy scooter for the last month +? what? oh, that's right, Texas, Wall Street, anywhere but here getting OUT OF STATE MONEY to win the recall... so what's your point?

coffeeman, you may be right about most who post here have made up their minds. I have to disagree that it doesn't matter who wins. The state will not heal, nor will it move forward under the current administration. I, for one, do not want to model the state after Louisiana!

Analyst for BOTH parties have said that 97% of the people of Wisconsin have already made up their mind. The ads and debates are for the 3% who have not made up their minds. Why does everyone on these blogs still spill forth hate toward one another when there is nothing either side can say that will change your minds. It is all mindless at this point. We must all get past this and start thinking of our state instead of self interest. It does not matter who wins on June 5th, the side that loses will still whine and complain. So sad.

Why should Scott Walker offer anything new? He wasn't speaking to an audience of billionaires - only us little people.

This 'debate' was a 1 hour commercial. No new information was given, Barrett didn't provide anything other than 'I am not walker,' and so ends another episode of 'how to fill 1 hr of air time with nothing'.

Hey Jasper, I know that 100% of the people I work for are voting for Barrett. Yeah, thats right, I can make up all the numbers I want too. Come up with something different than the 3 people you work with. I will wait for June 5th to hear the REAL numbers. The 250k did not have to vote because they will vote for whomever won just to oust Walker. They will be there on June 5th. Mark my word.

it's called a Koch sucker.

Basically, Walker stood on his record. But Barrett had nothing to stand on.

No answer Barrett is what you would get. More spending without answers.

Solidified my vote.

I was a public employee and was NOT a member of a union. I had a choice of 17 different insurance companies that I could pick and it was all based on competition and pricing. I chose Dean Care because they came in with the lowest bid. It was working before Scooter became gov. Walker so reminds me of Former President Bush, smirk on the face, shifty eyes, fuzzy math, outside interest dictating his policies. Kinda reminds you of Alfred E. Neuman of MAD magazine, doesn't it.

Hey Hard to Believe, what happened to the 250K recall signers that did'nt vote in the primary?
I suppose some had to go back to work in other states after their protesting vacation in Wisconsin.

By the way 90% of the guys I work with are voting for Walker and 4 of them used to vote Democrat. Good luck.

Vatoloco McCarthy said, "Stop the Communist Party Now"

Haha, right state but 60 years too late.

A very good debate for Barrett. There aren't a lot of undecided's and Barrett didn't deliver a crushing performance, but he picked up many more votes than Walker did tonight. Walker's appearance, pale, shifty eyes, head down when Barrett was addressing him reminded me of Nixon in the Kennedy/Nixon debates. Coming off the confidence this debate has to provide Barrett, I can't wait for Thursday's debate...if Walker doesn't cancel due to inclement weather :-O

Moan and groan Barrett did not answer the question on how he would reverse collective bargaining and raise taxes for the rest of us.

He was more like an attack dog off his leash, but had no answers for our state surplus, lower taxes and yet did not address his abysmal record in Milwaukee for the last 8 years. What a loser.

One more time for you Fed:http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/statements/2010/sep/03/scott-walker/scott-walker-blames-tom-barrett-dumping-sewage-lak/

I felt sorry for Walker. I openly support Barrett but I don't think he should have beaten Walker to the point of tears of shame.

For every person Scooter says will vote for him this time, I have 10 who say the opposite. 1,000,000 people did not take the time to sign petitions to see Scooter get another chance.

Barrett kicked butt tonight. I am so sick of hearing the words, We want to move forward. Answer the questions scooter and no more rhetoric. Lie Lie Lie. One person in Cuba City makes up for the whole state who WANTS to know answers.

How on Earth did this guy become our governor? One of the dumbest people I have ever seen in such a high political office. This debate has been nothing but a repeat of his commercials, what a waste of time.

anyone else see walker LIE on TV. ""Districts are FORCED to purchase insurance from one company."" Really Scott? That is an absolute falsehood. Janesville has been self funded for a long time and has saved MILLIONS. Anyone care to comment on that blatant LIE.

In other socialist news...

wislady sorry let's go with just plain ignorant then. works for me.

crazycatlady

I am mostly deaf, but not dumb.

(the correct term is "hearing impaired", NOT deaf and dumb)...."Just sayin'"

yada

The scandal of the pension system in Milwaukee county (prior to Walker) cost them MILLIONS. Why don't you go back and look at some of that?

Walker was elected in special election to fill that position. (Ament "retired" to save his pension, and before he could be recalled). Ament even had the gall to think he could run for the position again in 2010, believing that because the City paid $45 Million to settle the malpractice claim...somehow it cleared him.
That whole mess caused 7 county supervisors to be RECALLED.

Maybe someone will ask Doyle about the no bid contracts he awarded to his campaign donors. I think two have now filed complaints against the city for that.

Or, how about the complaint filed against the chief prosecutor in the John Doe? Sounds like maybe there sound be a John Doe into the Office of Mayor in Milwaukee.

And I almost forgot my favorite thing to ask Scott Walker - For once will you explain how you selected the investment firm from 2003 to restructure County debt. How did you pick that firm? Were they even in on the bidding? Why did you NOT select the investment firm with the lowest bid. Do you or did you even have the actual bid forms that are required? Did you have a good friend that worked at that firm you dealt with? Did this ffriends wife send you a check for your campaign listing her address as being in WI, but they LI VE in Illinois? Lots MORE to this case...

http://www.mcguigan.org/Column-Bears-Ste...

Make sure you ask Scott about:
1. His criminal defense fund, money spent so far, number of lawyers.
2. Ask why he won't release all of his emails when he was County Executive.
3. Ask about his class warfare
4. Ask about pitting union worker against union worker.
5.Lies to Congress under oath
6. Being a right to work state.
7. Lucky number 7 is HIS FAKE JOB NUMBER - Journal Sentinel and Politifact have said they are MOSTLY FALSE.

Also- YOU MAY WANT TO MENTION 2 Scotty - While under oath He - Scotty walker did say removing Collective Bargaining Rights saves no money -

Poor Teddy, doesn't know his left from his right and he's accusing others of living in Oz.

RichE95, I'm thrilled that the Rock County 5.0 has been exposed now that Diane Hendricks showed herself to be little more than a gangleader for a band of suit and tie thugs. I actually feel sorry for Hendricks knowing that the only reason why some people defend her is for her wealth.

TedKennedy, the numbers in the poll you cite remind me of a Drudge Report headline that was quickly taken down today: "DC unemployment rate at 51.7%; CA, 36.2%" Of course the article that the headline linked to had a headline of, "California tops states in teen unemployment." Yes, Drudge failed to mention those were teenaged-only unemployment rates. I can't imagine how Drudge got that so screwed up, can you? [ http://www.drudgereportarchives.com/dsp/... ]

I have a feeling a similar thing is going on with the numbers in the poll you cited. Perhaps they represent only the Walker and Kleefisch families.

I wonder if Barrett will echo Mitchell's attack on Beloit/Janesville businesswoman and philanthropist Diane Hendricks. All the Hendricks have done for this area and all the jobs they have created: and here is Mitchell on national television attacking Diane Hendricks. Then he went on to rail about teachers wearing dresses and heels in West Allis. Apparantly the Democrats would prefer us to wear a Stalinist symbol like their blue fist. Barrett and Mitchell - an insult to Wisconsin and not ready for prime time.

Where did you that Teddy? Here among the living, I heard just the opposite.

Tee-hee. Libertybelle, didn't mean to get your underwear all bunched up. Walker's phony jobs numbers won't be corrected by the feds until after the recall election. Those numbers.

Shrek, according to the WMC, the establishment of a "manufacturers" state income tax credit is the first of its kind in 35 years. Also, if nothing has changed with the domestic production activities deduction in place since 2004, there would be no need to slip this legislation into the budget. Walker signed this windfall tax credit into law and it is not based on job creation. Do a little research and you will find the results enlightening. My links.

Gangsta Tom Barrett:

http://tinyurl.com/7zf75ke

The domestic production activities deduction has been in place since 2004 and is not a Walker issue. I suppose you know nothing about it, you just read a headline. I surmise this because your previous posts regarding the debt are incorrect as well. Do a little research and you will find the results enlightening. When you actually delve into a subject you find that the media leaves out most of the information that does not support their particular point of view.
***
I urge all voters to look objectively at the issues and make an informed decision. Do not rely on someone else to tell you who to vote for. Research and analyze so that you fully understand how your decision now will affect your children and future generations.

Did Walker lie to the John Doe investigator under ethics violations or to Barrett who fabricated crime in his city? Which numbers where the lie. The 3% survey or 160,000 reported to the feds?

Christforlife - "He just used the "Christian card" to get more people on his side. I am here to say that I am a Christian and I do not follow him like some do." I agree with Christforlife - I have watched your posts over time and your comments are pretty much measured and spot on as far as I am concerned. The term "Christian" is a deeply held moral belief/faith and is demonstated in how you treat others and live your life. It is not a wing of a political party as some would try to spin it. If others want to use the Ayn Rand atheistic philosophy in their policies and actions but still claim to be Christians, they will all be exposed for what they are doing. Thank you for your posts.

It looks like the gravy train for the rich is just getting going:
A Walker Policy:
“Domestic Production Activities Tax Credit":
A $359.7 million tax break called the in the next 5 years to corporations which would effectively erase their income tax liability by 2016-17. No new jobs are required to receive this tax break

The gravy train is stopping now.

Union busting is about 3 things:

1) creating a permanent underclass of worker drones who have to provide for their own welfare but cannot afford the basic necessities of life.

2) creation of draconian laws which restrict or do away with the civil rights of assembly, protest and of course seeking redress from government against laws which restrict rights

3) the suppression of the people, through not only creation of laws doing so but the fact that according to the %1 and the corporations the people have only one right to work our collective asses off and die when we cannot work anymore.

Tom Barrett is so brilliant. I must record the debate tonight and watch him do his best Jackie Gleason - Ralph Kramden ...hummina, hummina, hummina

Teehee heeee - which leftist blog site did you get that pack of talking points?? This is really good stuff and I say show me the money, or in your case youkillme, how about one.
Let's start with job numbers. Which one don't you believe? The short 3% survey or the 160,000 thousand final total that went to the feds?

Sure wish facts were contained in these posts and suggestions for Wisconsin. Everyone has a jab at the next guy but no one discusses the ramifications of either person's plan. Any suggestions ?

Before asking Walker about his false jobs numbers report, why he said he would negotiate with unions while campaigning, his criminal defense fund, his divide and conquer strategy, his no negotiation stance, his thinking about putting trouble-makers among Wisconsinites protesting at the capital, why he ignored thousands of people at the capital wanting their voice to be heard, but he listens to one billionaire, his robbing of $800 million in state aid to schools, his lies about collective bargaining effecting the budget, they need to ask him why he drove Milwaukee County into near bankruptcy before he left.

killngrill, exactly with Good American. Anything but. So far left, I really don't have an answer to such irrational thoughts.
So I'm off and out. See ya

If it helps maintain the natural resources, so be it. And if it helps keep taxes down so non-hunters do not have to pay for the hunters pleasure, so be it!

And may God bless you also!

Wow let's split hairs. I forgot a t. Thats all you got because you know what I am saying is true. Maybe you should look at one of the other stories on here that someone enlightened us with the hunting rules that he is going to be trying to get worked in. It will cost hunters thousands of dollars just to hunt in Wisconsin.
Have fun with that.
I also forgot on the last post...

God bless all. :-)

GoodAmerican:
*BEWARE*
We may have to start eating our/your pets if Barrett gets into office.
*BEWARE*

christforlife:
Go "Barret"
lol

Good lukc finding that name on the ballot!!

This is for all of those Christians that follow Walker just for the simple fact that he is republican and says he is Christian...
Where does it say in the Bible that you should take things away from the poor?? The Bible that I read says to give to the poor.
He just used the "Christian card" to get more people on his side. I am here to say that I am a Christian and I do not follow him like some do. More lies from Walkerville is all it is..
GO BARRET!

Everyone here should go and read the past posts of "GoodAmerican". You will find out that this person is not nice and is not a "good American".
WOW

Yes, spending cuts!
*
Whatever it takes to keep our taxes from increasing!

Really Good American, grow up. If you want to talk about knuckle dragging going backwards in time, talk to your own party.
Trains and windmills as touted by Obama was 1880's.
It was and always will be natural resources such as oil that fueled the world into the 21st century.

Killngrill - you missed the rest of the article. The part where the projections are based on not paying the bills today and ultimately costing the tax payers more down the road. Also, they decided not to include the shortfall in health programs. I do not believe it is appropriate to claim a surplus by not paying your bills...Here is a more accurate picture of those projections:

"Gov. Scott Walker's administration released improved budget projections Thursday that would leave the state with a $154.5 million surplus a year from now.

A large chunk of the surplus is realized by delaying payments that will ultimately cost taxpayers more in interest.

The budget numbers released Thursday do not account for a sizable shortfall in the state's health programs for the poor that Walker's administration says it will deal with through increased efficiencies and spending cuts."

"The new projection just released shows that at the end of the two year budget cycle enacted by Governor Walker, the state should be in the black by $154 million, instead of the $3.6 billion dollar hole left by Doyle and the Democratic controlled assembly, and the best part is that our taxes were not jacked up and our schools are in better shape then when we started this madness."

I know this comment does not follow the angry negative polarizing comments posted earlier. No matter who you intend to vote for I challenge you to watch and listen (both debates). Choose wisely, know the facts, do not base your decision by ads plastering our TV's. Let the debates confirm the decision you have already made or challenge you to get the answers you need before you make a decision. Democracy and Patriotism lives, God Bless Wisconsin.

In addition Good American, the jobs gained are reported to the Federal Government by law. It is a federal offense to submit fraudulent jobs data. I swear you far left wingers need to get out of the blogosphere and read some real news.

Walker moves forward by telling lies, that is all that has come out of his mouth since he took office. If, and that is a big if, he has told anything true, we can't believe him because of all the lies making us so skeptical.

Please Good American, refrain from the childess tone. I posted this many days ago:
On Act 10 effects worry districts, teachers

Posted on May 15 at 12:05 p.m. ( Suggest removal )
Refreshing, no mouse no kaysbrew.

I see by your far left hate speech that you are only one step across from mouse in your limited debating skills.

GoodAmerican:
Please come out of your cave and move FORWARD with the rest of us. It's 2012 for gosh sake.

No Good American, we simple want our Government to be limited. We want the Federal Government to maintain a strong military and put the welfare programs back into states hands where budgets must be balanced.
Walker dominated in the 2010 debates which probably won him the election. He will again.

Could be rabies.

Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker, Walker!!!
