Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker survives recall effort, NBC News projects

Robocalls in Wisconsin telling Democrats not to vote if they already signed a recall petition. Gee, where have I heard this before...

People who believe those calls probably couldn't find their way to their polling places.

It's funny to watch people try and justify illegal voter suppression too.

From the last round of false flag bullchit.

The false flag bullchit that resulted in the conviction of a Republican for voter suppression and election fraud?

its fun watching sore loser man spewage after the dembot unions get their asses handed to them
 
Its a damn shame thats all i have to say....
 
I got no dog in this hunt... but I can't say i'm not happy that the public unions are being brought to heel in Wisconsin... it's better for their state's book to do so.


as for this being about being anti-worker.. that's nonsense.... government , across the land, treats it employees according to the law... and they will continue to do so even in the absence of public sector unions.
police, teachers, firefighters, etc will not magically turn into slave labor if they are not unionized, despite the rhetoric from the pro-union camps.
 
As they are poised to gain control of the Senate, its a irrelevant question.

Considering that around 60% of the precincts have reported, 3 of the 4 GOP Senate races have been called for the incumbent and the fourth has a 62/38 lead it sure looks like this is a mistaken prediction...but I guess we'll see as 'hope springs eternal'
 
Finally, the people have recognized that the problem of unsustainable public benefits must be dealt with at it's core. Congratulations Wisconsin.... America, pay attention.

I believe FDR said it best:

"All Government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service. It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public personnel management. The very nature and purposes of Government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with Government employee organizations. The employer is the whole people, who speak by means of laws enacted by their representatives in Congress. Accordingly, administrative officials and employees alike are governed and guided, and in many instances restricted, by laws which establish policies, procedures, or rules in personnel matters.

Particularly, I want to emphasize my conviction that militant tactics have no place in the functions of any organization of Government employees. Upon employees in the Federal service rests the obligation to serve the whole people, whose interests and welfare require orderliness and continuity in the conduct of Government activities. This obligation is paramount. Since their own services have to do with the functioning of the Government, a strike of public employees manifests nothing less than an intent on their part to prevent or obstruct the operations of Government until their demands are satisfied. Such action, looking toward the paralysis of Government by those who have sworn to support it, is unthinkable and intolerable. It is, therefore, with a feeling of gratification that I have noted in the constitution of the National Federation of Federal Employees the provision that "under no circumstances shall this Federation engage in or support strikes against the United States Government."
 
This is wonderful news, especially for the people of Wisconsin.
 
If I am no mistaken, it also appears that republicans will take back the senate. No? Looks like a major defeat for public unions.

Unless you are a union worker. Over under one year before WI becomes a right to not support yourself and your family state.
 
Even in your post-op haze, you're dead on. :)

To be honest I've only been taking half the pain med dose so I've not been too loopy.... yet :mrgreen:

why is that?.. are they going to make the union workers in Wisconsin in to slave laborers ?..send them off to reeducation camps?.. sentence them to 40 lashes?

I call the over one year on right to work laws.... it won't happen that fast, but it will happen...individual economic freedom takes a little bit of time to progress.

FWIW, the exit poll results can be found at: Wisconsin Recall Exit Polls: How Different Groups Voted - Interactive Feature - NYTimes.com

No question was asked about the top issue. However, as a proxy for how Wisconsin's voters felt about the economy and who deserved credit, by a 53%-46% margin, voters approved of Governor Walker's handling of job creation. Those approving of his job creation policies overwhelmingly supported him. Those disapproving, overwhelmingly voted against him.

Interestingly, the 60% of voters who said that recall elections should only be for official misconduct voted for Walker by a 67%-32% margin.

What's even funnier, is watching some liberals/progressives cry "voter suppression" because they can't come grips with the fact that one of their firmly held ideals was not only soundly defeated, but soundly defeated in a blue state.
 
Wow, Walker originally won this state by 5 points. He takes on the union, and now wins by 10 points.

That is telling.
